Renowned engine specialist Cosworth are looking to becoming an engine supplier to IndyCar and is in talks with the series over a move.
IndyCar is actively trying to add a third manufacturer alongside Honda and Chevrolet, with the two existing companies supporting the series’ push.
Cosworth has also been involved in discussions about new engine regulations set to be introduced in Formula 1 in 2021, and has started working towards an F1 return.
Cosworth has not supplied an engine in top-line US open-wheel racing since the demise of Champ Car in 2008, although its electronics arm recently signed a four-year deal to supply steering wheels for the revised Dallara IR12.
Bruce Wood, Cosworth’s managing director of powertrains, told Autosport talks with IndyCar had taken place but said the company would need an OEM to fund the project.
