New engine supplier PURE to use Toyota facilities

BAR founder Craig Pollock's new 2014 engine supply venture, PURE, is setting up camp in Cologne. A German-language report at motorsport-total.com said Jacques Villeneuve's former manager has struck a deal with former F1 team Toyota.

The report said PURE, to move shortly, needs better facilities than it currently has at its Paris headquarters. "We have signed an exclusive agreement with TMG (Toyota Motorsport GmbH)," Scotland-born Pollock is quoted as saying. He said the deal involves office space, a workshop and engine test stands.

Pollock explained that time and cost factors explains why PURE did not set up its own factory. But he said there is plenty of time left to find at least two F1 team customers for 2014. Pollock also said PURE will retain its French headquarters as a business base. (GMM)
