Cosworth engines for Indy, ALMS?

Cosworth general manager Mark Gallagher told the Toronto Sun that the company would like to build engines for the new IndyCar Series engine formula, set to be introduced in 2012.

The British company, which this year returned to building race engines for Formula 1, was a mainstay of USAC and CART Indy car racing from the 1970s through the end of Champ Car. Gallagher told the Sun that it is the goal of his company to be building race engines for a number of North American racing series as well.

“We would love to be putting our Cosworth engines into the IZOD IndyCar Series and the American Le Mans Series,” Gallagher said. “I don't want to give too much away,” Gallagher said. “But we already have the facilities and the manufacturing capabilities in our U.S. plants to make this happen.”
