It was the advent of turbocharged engines in Formula One 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 9, 000 rpm rev limiter, which scaled power back from 500 to ; the DFV remained in this class until 1992.

In 2010 Cosworth returned as the engine supplier for Williams and three new teams ; Hispania Racing, Lotus F1 Racing and Virgin Racing.

In the following years, Martini returned with a smaller sponsorship program, restricted to the Italian Rally Championship, which the Martini Racing driver, Gianfranco Cunico, won from 1994 to 1996 with a Jolly Club Ford Escort Cosworth.

The following year he returned to the wheel of a Ford, driving the Ford Escort Cosworth for a semi-private team, and then being co-opted into the Ford factory team where he stood in for the injured Francois Delecour.

He returned with the ex-David Render Toleman TG191 Cosworth DFL, taking the Gurston Top Six title that year, aged 62.

Grouillard returned to ORECA for 1987 in a March 87B Cosworth.

Formula 3000 replaced Formula Two, and was so named because the engines used initially were 3. 0 L ( 183ci ) Cosworth DFV engines made obsolete by popularization of 1. 5 L turbocharged engines in Formula One.

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.

Cosworth has had a long and distinguished career in Formula One, beginning in 1963.

Two Formula One teams were supplied with Cosworth engines in 2006: the Williams team using Cosworth V8 engines, transmissions, and associated electronics ; and the Scuderia Toro Rosso team using rev-limited Cosworth V10s based on 2005 spec engines.

In September, 2004 Ford announced that it was selling Cosworth and Pi Research, along with Cosworth Racing Ltd and its Jaguar Formula One team.

Cosworth began its association with Lotus Cars by work on the longer stroke version of the Kent, which had a capacity of and was used in the Lotus 7. and units were developed in 1963 for use in Formula B and sports car racing, and a twin overhead camshaft version was developed to power the Lotus Cortina.

There was even a one-off version built by Cosworth employees Paul Squires and Phil Kidsley ; fitted with a Lysholm supercharger it was installed in a Brabham BT28 Formula 3 chassis and competed in the British Hill Climb Championship as the Brabham-Lysholm.

Cosworth also developed a Ford-badged 72 ° F1 V10 engine for the Sauber Formula One team.

Cosworth has subsequently made several V10 engines for a number of Formula One teams.

In Max Mosley's letter following the withdrawal of Honda from Formula One in December 2008, it was announced that Cosworth had won the tender to provide a standard engine to any interested participants.

Cosworth made an attempt at designing a full Formula One Grand Prix car in 1969.

* 5 September – Formula One World Drivers ' Championship points leader Jochen Rindt ( Austria ) in killed in practice at Monza, driving a Lotus 72 – Cosworth.

* Formula One – Jackie Stewart ( Scotland ) wins World Drivers ' Champion, driving a Matra MS10 – Cosworth for Ken Tyrrell.

* Cosworth DFW, an engine produced by Cosworth for Formula One motor racing

One of the most successful and longest-lived projects of Cosworth has been its CART / Champ Car engine program.

One RS200 found its way in circuit racing originated as a road car ; it was converted to IMSA GTO specification powered by a 750 + BHP 2. 0 litre turbo BDTE Cosworth Evolution engine.

After the 1984 season, Formula Two was upgraded to Formula 3000 in an attempt to merge F2-style chassis with the normally aspirated 3000cc Cosworth DFV V8 engines that were by now obsolete in the all-turbocharged Formula One.

1983 also saw the last non-championship Formula One race: The 1983 Race of Champions at Brands Hatch, won by reigning World Champion Keke Rosberg in a Williams Cosworth in a close fight with American Danny Sullivan.

The DFV is an internal combustion engine that was originally produced by Cosworth for Formula One motor racing.

The win was the 100th for the Cosworth Ford engine in Formula One, but for the second year in a row at The Glen, it was tragically flawed by the death of a promising young driver.

In what was to be the last race for the venerable Cosworth DFV V8 engine until, Tyrrell's Martin Brundle failed to qualify giving the race the distinction of being the first ever all-turbo Formula One Grand Prix starting a string of 22 races where all cars would be powered by turbocharged engines.

In the 2000s, a new hot hatch " class " was born, engine outputs grew up to well beyond, and by 2010 Ford and Subaru challenged each other with the Ford Focus RS 500 () and Subaru Cosworth Impreza STI CS400 ().

Available for the UK market only, the " Cosworth WRX STI CS400 " was announced in late May 2010.

Regulations in 2010 limit the maximum engine rotation to 18000 rpm, but during the 2006 season, engine speeds reached over 20000 rpm on the Cosworth engine.

In May 2009, Prodrive also placed an entry for the 2010 F1 World Championship, however, all three new entries were given to teams using Cosworth engines, while Prodrive already had an agreement to use Mercedes engines.

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.

As well as the Cosworth, a Honda engine based on an Indy V8 by John Judd also appeared ; a rumoured Lamborghini V8 never raced.

In later years, a Mugen-Honda V8 became the thing to have, eclipsing the DFV ; Cosworth responded with the brand new AC engine.

The engine was not ready for the start of the 1985 season, so the team converted their M185 chassis to accept a Cosworth DFV engine for the first two races.

Mike Hewland with his assistant John Logan, and also Keith Duckworth experimented with a single-cylinder sleeve-valve test engine when looking at Cosworth DFV replacements.

Cosworth has broadened this range to supply complete high-performance Subaru EJ25 engines and components for Subaru Imprezas, as well as components for Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution and Nissan vehicles with the VQ35 engine.

The road car engine aspect of the business was split from the racing division following the sale of the engineering division of Cosworth to VW / Audi in September 1998 and renamed Cosworth Technology, before being acquired by Mahle GmbH in 2005.

The contract stipulated that a four-cylinder Ford-based F2 engine would be developed as proof of concept ( see the FVA above ) and that a pure Cosworth V8 would be built based on this.

The DFV design used a similar cylinder head to the one Duckworth had prototyped on the four-cylinder FVA units on a custom Cosworth cylinder block and crankcase, forming a single 90 ° V8 engine, thus creating a legend in its own right, the DFV-literally meaning " Double Four Valve ".

In 1975 ; Cosworth developed the DFX, by destroking the engine to and adding a turbocharger, the DFX became the standard engine to run in IndyCar racing, ending the reign of the Offenhauser, and maintaining that position until the late 1980s.

Cosworth increased its association with Ford in 1969, by developing a double overhead camshaft ( DOHC ) 16-valve inline four-cylinder engine for road use in the Ford Escort.

A later version of the YB engine was used in the Ford Escort RS Cosworth | Escort RS Cosworth

The YB series of engines are based on the older Pinto engine block, and were introduced in the road-going Ford Sierra RS Cosworth in 1986 with. With 5, 000 units built for homologation purposes in Group A, both for rallies and touring cars.

Cosworth experimented with turbocharged BD derivatives, before settling on an all-new turbocharged V6 engine to be badged as the Ford TEC ( internally it was known as the GB-series ).

The development of the GBA engine at Cosworth became the subject of a British TV documentary in Channel Four's Equinox series ( it was broadcasted in 1986 ).
