With the increased presence of GM in the Grand-Am series for 2011 and a return of Cadillac to the SCCA World Challenge series, rumours abound also of a possible return of Chevrolet in IndyCar racing.
Reports in the press speculates that General Motors' full-time return to open-wheel racing with an all-new twin-turbo V6 engine for 2012 is a possibility although IICS CEO Randy Bernard maintains that talks are on-going with various manufacturers regarding involvement in the future engine and chassis program.
But, it is also known that Bernard and Gil de Ferran have already met with General Motors in Detroit this summer after the formal launch of the 2012 engine and chassis regulations in July.
The meeting, organized by veteran team owner Roger Penske, reportedly piqued GM's interest most heavily in the aero kit department. There have been also rumours that a formal announcement could be made as soon as next week by GM on their 2012 engine plans.
Chevy left the IRL after struggling to match dollars and results with Honda and Toyota after the Japanese firms brought the full might of their CART resources to the relatively small IRL paddock.
