Bernie Ecclestone has welcomed reports that Porsche is considering entering Formua 1 in 2013.
"It sounds absolutely great," the 79-year-old F1 chief executive told Bild newspaper by phone, having not travelled to Japan this weekend.
"Whatever I can do to make it happen, I will."
Porsche officials have already announced that a decision to enter F1 could only be taken if the FIA's plans for a 'World Engine' came about.
Bild said the board of Porsche's parent, Volkswagen, would meet early in November, 2010 to make a decision.
Fellow German automaker Mercedes' motor-racing vice-president Norbert Haug commented: "I have no idea if Porsche will come. If it does, congratulations and all the best. If not, that's a shame."
