It has been in the air for quite some time but IndyCar officials have now confirmed, on Saturday, that the series will use turbo starting in 2011 and that it will be with either four or six-cylinder engines.

Furthermore, league officials said they have the interest of two or three manufacturers aside from Honda, the current engine supplier, if turbos are implemented.

News that the IndyCar Series will scrap its naturally aspirated formula and switch to turbos in 2011 has been met with enthusiasm from most drivers.
