Chevrolet, who last competed in 2018, was a shocking absence to most when 2020's suppliers were announced, and General Motors have given an explanation why with the unveiling that they will be returning. "In the past, the formula was very specific. Run a twin turbo V6 engine. We all had the same defined areas. Horizon has changed that to allow us to sculpt our own engine for competition and we were behind the ball on it. Coming in a year later, we've had time to adjust to the new rules and make our powertrain right." Curiously, Chevrolet will be returning with a turbocharged V8 engine, the same powerplant used in the Corvette C8-R endurance racer, perhaps inspired by the potential Mercedes have shown with a naturally aspirated V8 engine. 2021 will see Chevrolet join Mercedes-Benz, Honda, and Alpine as engine suppliers among what could be an expanded full time grid of up to 28 entries outside of the Triple Crown events.[/SPOILER] [/QUOTE]
