Kommer Audi leverera V8:or till F1 (RedBull)?
Please God let this turn out to be true! There is talk in the German media of Red Bull racing hooking up with Audi in 2008 as an engine supplier, Gerhard Berger a friend of both the head of Red Bull & VW Audi is also believed to be involved. The story transpires that Audi will be out of DTM racing in at the end of 2007, Opel are pulling out after 2006, and intend to use 2007 a development year before launching in 2008. Speculation even extends to VW Audi producing a non Audi "badged" engine & running it with the Torro Rosso squad too develop the unit in a racing environment, before bolting on to the back of a Adrian Newey car as early as 2007 or as late as 2009! A non badged engine is not entirely unheard of, early 90's Yamaha units were a front for Toyota's original aborted F1 attempt. Long term engine preparations for F1 entries are standard practice these days, BMW spent all of 1998 & 1999 developing their engine away from F1 before coming in with William's in 2000 & Toyota's two years of solid pre-entry testing on chassis & engine started with a V12! If Audi were to enter the post 2008 world of F1 it would make a lot sense. Firstly, by that time the official FIA series will have settled down with team commitments to the FIA or a break away series would be up & running. Thus, in the coming seasons Audi would be in a be in a perfect position to judge where it should be entering a F1 effort. Secondly, entering the sport with Red Bull makes sound financial sense. After all, why go down the expensive Toyota build from scratch route or the equally expensive top dollar buyout of an existing team. a.k.a Honda/BAT or BMW/Sauber, when you can provide a block to a Adrian Newey designed flyer? Further, having rewritten Le Mans history with it's sports car programme (how that must get up the noses of Mercedes & Toyota management) and having succeeded in every category it has ever competed in, rally, touring & sports prototypes, how long can Audi ignore the presence of the other two big German giants participation in F1? Audi have stated publicly in the past that they would not consider F1 at its current costs, will the temptation of running with Red Bull as a engine partner only be too good a deal to miss? Fingers crossed."

Av en händelse dök det här upp idag också.
Ingolstadt, 14 November 2005 Award for TFSI engine of the Audi R8 Ulrich Baretzky is "Race Engine Designer of the Year" Audi R8 winning streak convinced panel of experts V8 power unit without single technical failure in 77 races The Audi R8 is the most successful Le Mans prototype ever and is still the world's only race car to combine direct fuel injection and turbo charging. For its TFSI technology, which initially established itself on the race track and, meanwhile, inspires high-volume production, Audi was honoured yet again: An international panel of experts presented Ulrich Baretzky, Head of Engine Technology at Audi Sport, with the "Race Engine Designer of the Year Award". "I'm very proud of this award, which I receive on behalf of my team," explained Ulrich Baretzky at the presentation in the Royal Air Force Museum in London. "What we achieved with the R8 was genuine team effort." In the 77 races contested to date, the Audi R8 scored a total of 61 outright victories, won the 24 Hours of Le Mans five times and the American Le Mans Series (ALMS) six times in succession. Even more impressive is the reliability of its 3.6 litre twin-turbo V8 power unit: Since making its debut in March 2000 there was not a single engine failure during a race - an achievement, which also impressed the Race Tech World Motorsport Symposium expert panel that consists of high-profile technicians from various facets of motorsport including Formula 1. ![]() _________________ Erik B Såld: Megane RS Cup 250 |

Helt klart intresant, jag hoppas verkligen på detta då det blir roligt att få se de 3 stora tyska märkena i F1 i mer eller mindre involvering. BMW gick ju hela vägen ut nu och det ska bli riktigt intresant att se vad de kan prestera som fristående team. Mercedes har ju redan bevisat sig. Frågan är om inte Toyota blir sylvasa till 06. Samt om Renault kan fortsätta vara så vassa. Sen ska vi ju inte föringa Ferrari, Honda elelr Redbull.
Ser verkligen fram emot säsong 06. _________________ Johan - Prospekterar Cayman |

jo det är sant, fast jag är lite hårddragen och räknar lexus som toyota. Nog för att detta egentlgien bevisar hur pass bra det går för toyota i världen då de anser sig har råd med 2 team. Hur som helst bra för det ger mera kamp. Toyota tror jag kommer kunna bli farliga. _________________ Johan - Prospekterar Cayman |

Jag med, glömde bara skriva det. Toyota lär nog bli motorleverantör ![]() _________________ Erik B Såld: Megane RS Cup 250 |

Kommer V10:orna verkligen att vara konkurenskraftiga nästa år?
Att FIA förbehåller sig rätten att varvtalsbegränsa V10:orna "från gång till gång" tycker jag låter som att man tänker se till att de absolut inte blir starkare än 2.4-liters V8:orna. _________________ Anders Dauner |

huva det kommer leda till protester varje tävling!! ![]() _________________ Johan - Prospekterar Cayman |

Sorry, jag hänvisade till gatbilarna där det ryktas om en ny Supra och en ny superbil från Lexus med V10. _________________ Erik B Såld: Megane RS Cup 250 |
||||
Jo, jag förstod att du syftade på gatbilarna. Men jag tolkade ditt inlägg som att man tänkte promota dessa bilar med V10:an i F1. Vilket med ovanstående lilla klausul från FIA verkar lite korkat. ![]() Är det bekräftat att Williams ska köra med Lexus-motorer nästa år? De lär ju knappast nöja sig med en nedtrimmat fjolårsmotor från Toyota. _________________ Anders Dauner |

Well, kan BMW marknadsföra sina R6:or och V10:or och Merca sina V8:or så ska det nog fungera för japanerna också. Undra hur många av F1-besökarna som vet hur många cylindrar bilarna har? ![]() _________________ Erik B Såld: Megane RS Cup 250 |

På tal om F1 så har ju toyota lyckats med alla mål dom satt hittils förra året skulle ju dom ta pallplats å det lyckades dom med har jag för mig och det här året så skulle dom lyckas med vinst var det sagt innan dom körde första tävlingen, eftersom dom brukar lyckas med det dom säger så tror ja att dom kommer ta minst en vinst det här året,

Schumacher 'could start F1 team' Schumacher is being tipped to launch a successful new team Michael Schumacher could launch his own Formula one team when his contract at Ferrari expires at the end of the season, according to Eddie Jordan. The German, 37, has made it clear he would like to maintain some involvement in the sport when he decides to retire. And Jordan, who gave Schumacher his F1 debut in 1991, believes the seven-time champion is already planning a launch. He told F1 Racing magazine: "I believe the idea of Michael starting his own team is being discussed." Jordan believes Schumacher's reputation would make him a powerful name in the sport, adding: "Michael would open doors that other people find locked. "I wouldn't be surprised if he encouraged Volkswagen - perhaps using their Audi brand - to come to Formula one." _________________ Erik B Såld: Megane RS Cup 250 |
