Thirty Years Ago–The Secret

An article from another Blog about an Engine that Roger Penske, Ilmor Engineering, and Daimler-Benz had jointly developed in total secrecy for Open Wheel Indy Car and Formula One Racing.

The project remained a secret until Roger Penske had held a Press Conference announcing this Engine and his involvement with the development of it, in May, 1994.

This Engine in question, jointly developed by Roger Penske, Ilmor Engineering, and Daimler-Benz; has been assigned the designation by Daimler Benz as the 500I Engine. Here is the link to the article on the website Wikipedia about this Engine: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mercedes-Benz_500I_engine
