Been watching a lot more Formula2 a lot more this season and realised that Mountune do the motors for them, 20vt it seems too

considering they are running 400/450bhp on button they have seemed bulletproof this year

Weight: 570 kg
Engine: Audi 4-cylinder turbocharged, 5 valves per cylinder
Displacement: 1781cc
Bore/stroke: 81.0mm x 86.4mm
Power-output: 400bhp @ 8,250rpm or 450bhp @ 8250rpm with overboost
Engine & gearbox control: Pi Research Pectel MQ12 ECU

i know they are half the weight of a road car etc but thye hardly spend their lives sat ticking over outside the shops neither - impressive i must confess

probably top secret etc. but just wondering what spec these powerplants are running?

as per their own rules:

4.3 The engines have a design life before rebuild of well in excess of a season's use so are not scheduled for a rebuild before the end of the season.
