German outlet Auto Motor und Sport conducted an interview with Mario Illien himself. Relative late in part 2 of the interview he was asked about involvement with the 2026 engines and he replied that there were multiple inquiries but nothing advanced enough to talk in detail.

In a bit of fun speculation I'd say there are three somewhat likely candidates:

  • Red Bull – they approached Ilmor to improve the Renault engine when they were Renault's customer
  • Honda – they sold their UK operations to Red Bull and already worked with Honda on the last-gen IndyCar engine
  • Cadillac/GM – The current Chevrolet Indy V6 has been co-developed by Ilmor.

The current cars are also able to stay within the track limits, the problem is more that from the seating position the lines are hard to see and apparently the drivers rely to feeling the kerb vibrations to a large degree.

They said the same about the LMDh project.

Who said that? Schmidt vom AMS after talking to the person literally in charge? Audi is sending their subsidiary Lamborghini to WEC instead.

The only one treating it as fact seems to be you.

I literally wrote that I don't believe it until other outlets also report on it with their own sources. You replied to my comment saying that, so you know my position. This means that you making that claim about me is not in good faith. I won't continue this discussion with you because of that.

It’s also not being reported as a story, but as a rumour. And not by Radio LeMan but someone on a podcast.

Eve Hewitt uses the "@radiolemans" handle, so I guess when Hewitt says it, it's the same as Radio Le Mans saying that:

And what level of communication goes on between the parties is unknown.

Sauber has to know of the deal falls short, likely even by law. And plenty of motorsport outlets cover both F1 and sportscars and somehow Radio Le Mans is the only one where not one but two sources said the same and nobody else heard of it? Doubful.

Audi isn’t even in F1 right now. There are no connections to F1 publications, it all comes from the sports car world.

But Sauber is.

I don't believe it's true, btw. Why would only a single sportscar outlet report on that and not a single one with connections to F1?

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Audi already left Formula E, cancelled the Le Mans hypercar, announced the end of GT3 and Dakar racing. Formula 1 would be the sole motorsport left to promote their brand.

So Andretti taking over? ;)

That's the suggestion the hosts of the show make.

Bisher haben Sie es ja nur bei laufenden Sportlern versucht.

Ähm wofür steht das A in DACH nochmal?

Ich wusste es selber nicht, da habe ich Helmut Marko gefragt:

Er is halt Osteuropäer

Quasi Russe
