The twin-cam, 16-valve, aluminium cylinder head design was assisted by Cosworth, but Chevrolet did the development work.

However, with engine rule changes for the 1990 season and the launch of the new Aston Martin Volante model, Ford provided the limited supply of Cosworth engines to the Jaguar cars racing team.

For Christmas 2011, a new single seater mod came available. The F2 1967 Mod provide new accurate cars shapes, drivers, car sounds and physics. The Formula 2 physics were intended to get close racing online, with most of the cars sharing the same Ford Cosworth FVA 1600cc engine. Despite this, as others GPL mods, the F2 mod benefit of the extended 11 different cars slots with their individual handling. In 1967, drivers took part in no less than 23 Formula 2 races.
