The Indy Racing League had invited engine manufacturers to a round table to discuss what could be the future car to be used in IndyCar starting in 2011.
Audi, BMW, Chevrolet, Fiat, Mazda and Volkswagen sent representatives to discuss the future specifications for Indy car racing. Engine builders Cosworth, John Judd, Ilmor and AER were also in attendance.
"What was most encouraging is that through the discussions there was clearly more agreement than there was disagreement." declare a enthusiastic Brian Barnhart.
What's next? Ideally the IRL would like to have its engine parameters set in stone by this fall so the next engine forum should be sometime in late August or early September.
