Stars to stay 100cc until 2010
It’s not a bad idea to stay with one formula throughout a homologation, but Stars do need to ensure that IAME and the rest can supply parts in a timely manner. A British importer has told me that parts are available and will continue to be made, but lead times are longer.
An announcement was made in January 2006 regarding the current formula for ICA and JICA in the Stars program. The decision was made at that time to extend the intercontinental formulae into 2007 and revisit the KF situation in as timely a manner as we could offer. With a number of KF formulae races now complete, more information is in stream for us to make a prudent decision. With less than six months to 2008, the time is right for decision.
It should be noted that our decision was made with homologation events in mind, in other words, the next engine homologation will come effective in 2010. This means that whatever decision we make, we are inclined to stick by it for two years or else we risk asking our customers to buy new engines in 2009 with a new generation of engines coming out only one year later.
