“This has been done in parallel with heavy investment in AER’s facilities in 2017, and in support of AER’s planned and future racing activities. Mike Lancaster, AER’s Managing Director, noted the larger technical and organisational context of the introduction of the P60B. “AER have since built several P60Bs in support of track-testing, as well as the 2018-2019 racing super season.”Įllis noted that as a complement to endurance track-testing, AER is undertaking constant in-house dynamometer testing that substantially exceeds the demands of the Le Mans 24-hour race’s duration. “Following impressive dyno test results, the first P60B was delivered to a customer last month,” Ellis said.

Three, 12 or 24-hour races, a variety of different drivers per car and balancing the need to go quickly with the desire for reliability are all important. The P60B incorporates improvements that make it a step up from the P60 in terms of both performance and reliability that’s required for continued success in endurance racing.”Īccording to Ellis the most prominent of the optimised component specifications include implementation of updates to the high-pressure fuel system, cylinder head casting, scavenge system/oil tank, ignition system and engine calibration. The eEuroparts Saab 9-3 AER racing car is ALIVE. Endurance racing brings its own set of unique challenges for engine designers that make F1’s two races per motor rule look tame in comparison. “But the specific, integrated package of upgrades we’ve been working on since this past January represents a sufficient step forward that it warrants the change in nomenclature. “AER’s LMP1 engine has been in a state of constant development since its inception in 2013,” said Mark Ellis, the company’s technical director, noting that AER have gained huge experience from testing, racing, and dynamometer development in the past three years. The new P60B is a very compact, lightweight twin-turbocharged GDI V6 and specifically designed for peak fuel optimization and the FIA WEC in the LMP1-L class. The P60B builds on the design of the V6 GDI P60, the engine which powered Rebellion Racing to the Endurance Trophy for Privateer LMP1 in the 20 seasons of the FIA World Endurance Championship and class victories both years at the 24 Hours of Le Mans. The engine supplied will be the successor to AER’s P60 twin turbo V6 LMP1-L engine. In the wake of yesterday’s formal unveiling of the Dallara/ BR Engineering BR1, Advanced Engine Research, Ltd (AER) later confirmed that they are supplying the engines for the SMP Racing effort for a pair of cars for the 2018/19 FIA WEC season.
