Mercedes redesigning engines despite 1997 CART success
Ilmor engineers are designing a new clean-sheet engine for Mercedes teams for 1998, despite the 1997 powerplant winning nine of 17 CART races and six of 11 FIA events. VP Paul Ray says ongoing CART competition drives yearly engine revisions, with testing to begin in December and the 1997 design becoming obsolete.
