Corporate history

The original company was founded as a British racing engine maker, based in Northampton in 1958 by Mike Costin and Keith Duckworth (1933-2005 [1]) (COStin and duckWORTH). Despite being an independent company Cosworth was supported by Ford for many years and most of the Cosworth engines were branded Ford.

The company has been through a number of owners. United Engineering Industries (UEI) purchased the company in 1980; UEI were taken over by Carlton Communications in 1988. Vickers bought Cosworth in 1990. In 1998 Vickers sold the company to Volkswagen Group, who then signed a deal with Ford, which bought the racing division which had long always made racing engines for Ford. Cosworth Technology (also known as CT) offers powertrain development consultancy, and its patented aluminium casting process is used by several car makers including Audi and Aston Martin.

Association with Ford

Cosworth has had a long relationship with Ford, which began when Cosworth first started manufacturing racing engines in 1959. These were modified versions of the 1000 cc Ford Kent engine engine for Formula Junior. Cosworth began its associating with Lotus Cars by boring the Kent out to 1340 cc for the Lotus 7. 1.5 L and 1.6 L units were developed in 1963 for use in Formula B and sports car racing, as well as for powering the Lotus Cortina. The final evolution of the Cosworth-Kent, in 1965, was the MAE, when new rules where introduced in Formula 3 allowing 1000cc engines. The domination of this engine was absolute as long as the 1000cc regulation lasted. As Cosworth had some difficulty facing the demand, the MAE was mainly sold as a kit.

A year before, the SCA was introduced, a 1000cc engine based on a Ford Cortina 116E block that raced in Formula 2, and featured the first Cosworth design head. The Cortina engine was also the basis for the FVA, a F2 engine introduced in 1966, for the new 1.6 L engine rules. This engine dominated the category until 1971, and was also used in sports car racing in 1.8 L form as the FVC. The Ford Cortina was a midsize car sold by Ford of Britain. ...

The DFV (Double Four Valve)

The Lotus 49

In 1966 Colin Chapman (Lotus Cars founder and principal of Team Lotus) persuaded Ford to bankroll Keith Duckworth's deisgn for a new lightweight Formula 1 engine. Cosworth recieved the order along with the £100,000 that Ford felt it adequate to spend on such an objective. The design merged two in-line four-cylinder FVA units (as used in 1.6 L form in Formula 2) into a single 90° V8 engine, thus creating a legend in its own right, the DFV (standing for "double four valve"). This engine and its derivatives were used for a quarter of a century, and it was the most successful in the history of Formula 1/Grand Prix motor racing. Winning 167 races in a career lasting over 20 years, it was the product that put Cosworth Engineering on the map. Although originally designed for Formula One, the engine has been modified to be used in a range of categories.

The DFV won on its first outing, at the 1967 Dutch Grand Prix in the hands of Jim Clark, fitted to a Lotus 49, and from 1968 was available for purchase to any F1 team that wished it. During the 1970s it was not uncommon for almost the entire field (with the notable exception of Ferrari) to be using one of these engines (this at a time when independent wealthy individuals could buy exactly the same engine off the shelf that was also being used by McLaren et al). Most teams just built a tub around a Cosworth DFV and a Hewland gearbox. It won a record-holding 155 World Championship races, the last being Detroit in 1983, powering a Tyrrell driven by Michele Alboreto.

The DFY, introduced in 1982 was a further evolution of the DFV for Formula One, with a shorter stroke and a DFL bore, thereby producing more power, but still unable to fight against the turbocharged cars of the day. It was the advent of turbocharged engines in Formula 1 which sounded the death knell for the venerable DFV, and in 1986 Cosworth returned to the lower formulae preparing the DFV for the newly-created Formula 3000, with the installation of a compulsory rev limiter, which scaled power back from 500 to 420 bhp; the DFV remained in this class until 1992.

In F1, a new DFV-based design was introduced for the new 3.5 L normally-aspirated rules in 1987. The DFZ was produced as an interim model, but in 1988 Cosworth created the DFV's final evolution, the DFR, which won the 1989 Japanese GP with Alessandro Nannini in a Benetton, before finally being replaced by the new HB series. The DFR soldiered on in F1 with smaller teams until 1992. Alessandro Nannini (born July 7, 1959 in Siena, Italy) was a Formula One driver from Italy. ...

The DFV has recently been given a new lease of life thanks to the interest in Classic F1 racing, which was given a World Championship status by the FIA in 2004.

DFV variants

Throughout the years, the DFV spawned a number of derivations. In 1968, Cosworth created the DFV's first derivation, a 2.5 L version for the Tasman Series, the DFW.

One of the most successful and longest-lived projects of Cosworth has been its CART/Champ Car engine program. In 1975, Cosworth developed the DFX, by destroking the engine to 2.65 L and adding two turbochargers, the DFX became the standard engine to run in Indycar racing, ending the reign of the Offenhauser, and maintaining that position until the late 80s. Ford backed Cosworth with creating a new interim design for Indycar racing in the late 80s, the DFS, which merged DFR technology into the aging DFX design, but it was eventually rendered obsolete by advancing technology.

While designed as an F1 engine the DFV was also used as in endurance racing, its flat-plane design lead to destructive vibrations putting stress on devices surrounding the engine, especially the exhaust system. Despite this handicap the DFV won the 24 hours of Le Mans twice in its original 3.0 L form. A special endurance version, the DFL, was then developed in two versions: one with 3.3 L and the other with 3.9 L. Whilst the former version soon became known for its reliability, the latter version was a step too far and is remembered as a failure. 1952 Le Mans race, depicted on cover of Auto Sport Review magazine The 24 Hours of Le Mans (24 heures du Mans) is the worlds most famous sports car endurance race, held annually at Circuit de la Sarthe near Le Mans, France, in the French Sarthe département. ...

The BDA series

Ford increased its association with Ford in 1969 by developing a DOHC 16-valve four cylinder engine for road use in the Escort. Working from the Kent block, Cosworth created a 1601 cc engine for homologation purposes. Running in Group 2 and Group 4 on either rallying or touring car racing, this engine could be enlarged to a maximum of 2.0 L. See also Ford Escort (North American) The Ford Escort is a sub-compact car manufactured by the Ford Motor Company from 1967 through 2003. ...

Touring car racing is a general term for a number of distinct automobile racing competitions in heavily-modified street cars. ...

In 1970, the BDC evolution received fuel injection for the first time. Two years later, the BDA series was being used in Formula 2, first in 1.8 L format, until reaching a maximum of 1975 cc in 1973, under BDG form, which also received an aluminum block. Fuel Injection is a method to meter fuel into an internal combustion engine. ...

The block could also be shortened, starting with the 1599 cc Formula Atlantic engine in 1970, followed by the 1.1 L and 1.3 L variants for SCCA club racing and sports car racing. The Toyota Atlantic Championship is an auto racing series with races throughout North America. ... The SCCA could be considered the grass-roots level of auto racing in the United States. ...

In the 1980s, the engine saw its final incarnations, the 1.7 L BDR, used in the road-going version of the Caterham, and the 1.8 L BDT, which powered the ill-fated Escort RS1700T and the more reliable Ford RS200, which was created for Group B rallying.

The YB series

The YB series was introduced in the road-going Ford Sierra Cosworth in 1985, with 5000 units built for homologation purposes in Group A, both for rallies and touring cars. Racing versions could develop about 300 hp. An evolution model was introduced in 1997 for the limited edition RS500, with power now exceeding 400 hp in racing trim. In relation to motorsport governed by the FIA, Group A referred to a set of regulations providing production-derived vehicles for outright competition. ...

Further evolutions of the YB included a reduced-emissions road version, as well as the block used in the Escort Cosworth (which used the Sierra floorpan). The engine stopped being used on new cars in 1997, with the Focus WRC and road-going Focus RS relying on Zetec designs.

The Cosworth F1 car

Cosworth made an attempt at designing a full GP car in 1969. The car designed by Robin Herd used an original 4WD transmission (different from the Ferguson used by all other 4WD cars of the sixties) and powered by a magnesium version of the DFV unit. The car was planned to drive at the 1969 British GP but it was silently withdrawn. When Herd left to form March Engineering the project was cancelled. The car is remembered by some as one of the ugliest F1 cars ever built.
