Alpine have secured a deal with Mercedes to run the German manufacturer’s power unit from 2026 until at least the end of 2030.
I wish there were more power unit providers, not fewer. Red Bull and Ford are working on one but I’d love to see Chevy or Cadillac in the mix.
F1 has the following engine providers:
I know Ford is doing a deal with Red Bull Racing to build engines but I’m not familiar with the details.
It would be nice to see the only American F1 team — Haas F1 Team — run an American built engine. Ford, Chevy, Dodge, or Cadillac would be great candidates and I have no doubt could provide competitive power for Haas.
IndyCar has the following engine providers
I’m surprised Ford and Toyota don’t have a presence here. A European manufacturer like Mercedes, Ferrari, or Renault would make for a wonderful addition to IndyCar.
NASCAR has the following engine providers
I would love to see the return of Dodge to the Cup Series and the Truck Series. They have a classic American muscle car in the Charger and Ram trucks are known for power and durability. They were there once, time for a return.
How about sneaking in a European manufacturer like Mercedes or Ferrari?
Why not add Honda to the mix? They already produce a V8 for boats. Why not NASCAR?
