Revision as of 03:37, 5 June 2015
Potentia Group Engineering was created in December 2012 to head up the development of an engine backed by the Midnight Motorsport team. The first product to be produced by the group was as the 'Potentia PGE-01', the engine which powered a number of teams throughout the 2013 Superleague season.
The 'Potentia PGE-02' was produced for the 2014 season and powered 4 teams; a 5th team, Phoenix F1, used the PGE-01. The Pheonix deal saw the team buy a fully-developed 2013-spec engine for a cheaper price; however, the engine was not developed over the year like the PGE-02.
The PGE-02 dominated the 2014 season, helped by the strength of the teams it supplied. A Potentia-powered car won in all but one of the Grands Prix that year.
In 2015 the PGE-03 was developed and Potentia continued to power Midnight and Hawkeye Racing, with Torrent Motorsports joining for the first time. Sensationally, CSG Racing, winners of the Drivers' and Constructors' championships the previous year with Potentia, opted to retain the PGE-02. This lead to a large dispute in the league as many other teams felt that the system in place would have made PGE-02 unbeatable for most of the season, despite its lack of further development. Coupled with other controversies surrounding the engine big process, the notion of year-old engines was scrapped and all Potentia teams in 2015 now use the PGE-03; its development led exclusively by Midnight Motorsport.
