PURE

Anyone know what has happened to Craig Pollock's grand plan? I was sceptical from the start but I have heard nothing for months since they had to put things on hold because of funding difficulties. My guess is that it's a dead duck (despite the rumour a while back that McLaren would take it over to make their own power trains), but maybe someone on the forum has more recent info?

It's a shame they ran out of cash.
I saw the same McLaren rumours, and a couple of people mentioned Honda had got involved, but when asked for links to the story they vanished, so...

PURE went under as a direct result of the teams and the regulations makers being not 100% sure of what was happening with regard to the 2014 engine regulations. Only just recently have the 2014 F1 engine manufacturers stated that there is now no going back on what they have decided to do.

I've always had Craig Pollock pretty much on a level with Arthur Daley, so the disappearance of PURE is no surprise. Shame, but I guess F1 will get by with only three manufacturers (at least for a year). Let's hope the Honda rumours are true.
