I'm really at a loss regarding present-day pilots. Tell me about Jo Siffert or Derek Bell (names given at random), that's another story... OK, names NOT given at random, congratulations on your latest post!lorenzo721http://www.blogger.com/profile/17472892297778559663noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4344189172664127374.post-75885354578111345372010-04-09T23:39:59.358+08:002010-04-09T23:39:59.358+08:00That Volkswagen part on its name made me curious :...That Volkswagen part on its name made me curious :-) What engine powered this?

Though actually... I think I remember reading in a forum that Volkswagen's involvement in their racing engine didn't go beyond putting its name onto it. The fact is, I don't remember reading that it was originally an Audi engine. At the time I didn't made the connection between Volkswagen and Audi, but now that you mention it, it arouses my curiosity. I'll wander through the net looking for the answer!lorenzo721http://www.blogger.com/profile/17472892297778559663noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4344189172664127374.post-78065466062072294602010-04-10T23:35:38.779+08:002010-04-10T23:35:38.779+08:00I probably mixed up the story told above with that...I probably mixed up the story told above with that of another known but surprising brand putting its name onto an existing engine at Le Mans. Actually the Volkswagen engine was a turbocharged 4-cylinder, 2.0-litre block allowing the car to race in the LMP675 class. The 2KQ was equally raced in the upper LMP900 class (unsupercharged 4.0-litre blocks and much heavier minimum weight) when fitted with a larger engine. So now the Audi connection guess is definitely out of the way.lorenzo721http://www.blogger.com/profile/17472892297778559663noreply@blogger.com
