Audi and Porsche have rejected a report about an allegedly already decided entry into Formula 1.
"We do not comment on rumours," said a spokesman for Audi of the German Press Agency on Friday when asked.
A Porsche spokesman said: "We welcome the decisions of the Fia on the future regulations of Formula 1 from 2026.
Stuttgart/Ingolstadt - Further details about Porsche's possible entry into Formula 1 will be announced in due course."
According to information from RTL/ntv, Audi and Porsche have already decided to enter Formula 1.
The motorsport premier class will receive “two prominent newcomers” from 2026.
A source was not named.
The Fia World Motor Sport Council passed the new engine regulations that will apply from 2026 on Tuesday.
This was mentioned by the Volkswagen subsidiaries Audi and Porsche as a prerequisite for a possible entry into Formula 1.
There have been rumors about a future launch by the two manufacturers for a long time.
After the Formula 1 summer break, racing will resume at Spa at the end of August.
