Porsche attends IRL engine talks

26th September 2008

A report on the German motorsport-total.com website says that representatives of the motorsport department of Porsche have attended the recent meetings in the USA to discuss the future engine rules for the IRL Indy car series.

The reports quotes Porsche’s Wolfgang Dürheimer as saying, “We see the engine question in the IndyCar series as an enormous opportunity.”

Although no precise details of the future regulation have been revealed one proposal is thought to be a 1.5 litre turbocharged engine with a 1.5 bar boost limit. This says motorsport-total.com fits with Dürheimer and Porsche’s view as to how motorsport should evolve in the future in the engine, "Fewer cylinders, less capacity and a turbocharger."
