AER have lodged a formal interest to supply with the FIA, see their web release below, and I have to say as the V6 LMP1 twin turbo engine is currently in use and un-branded AER are therefore in a very good position to supply. Timing is tight for 2017, which could be gobbled up very quickly in 2016, hence removing about 6 months of design, procurement and de-bugging from any timing plan again puts AER in a good position to supply, I would say AER's only downfalls are they are not a big name like Ilmor, Mechachrome and Cosworth, but most of all they are not french/swiss, much like why they lost the FIA-GP3 engine contract to Mechachrome (formerly Heini Mader) when AER has supplied a flawless V6 engine for 3 seasons......unless I'm missing something???.....
