Cosworth, the world's leading performance technology specialist, has agreed relationships with 3 teams whose entries to the 2010 Formula One World Championship have been accepted by the FIA.
FRIDAY 12 JUNE 2009 (NORTHAMTON, UK): An
identical package comprising high-performance Cosworth engine and
technical support will be provided for Campos Grand Prix, Manor Grand
Prix and Team US F1 for a period of 3 years.
The deal to supply a high performance solution that represents exceptional value for money is in alignment with Cosworth's business strategy, which aims to deliver advanced technologies to customers that lead the way in the global aerospace, defence, marine, automotive and energy generation markets. The Cosworth engine will be supplied to conform to the FIA regulations mandated for the 2010 F1 season, which seek to deliver a sound basis for the continuation of Formula 1 in a sustainable manner.

Tim Routsis, Chief Executive Officer, Cosworth:
"I am pleased that Cosworth's exceptional mix of capabilities has enabled us to provide a solution for Formula One that sits so neatly with our existing operations in the aerospace and defence sectors. Cosworth is proud not only to be able to provide a solution that will deliver the performance needed by these teams to compete in this most technologically challenging sport, but also to extend its long association with Formula One as a truly independent provider of competitive motive power."
"The engineering expertise we have
accumulated over four decades in the sport has enabled us to broaden
our reach into many different high-technology sectors. Today our
engineering capabilities extend beyond racing, encompassing
high-technology applications in the aerospace, defence, energy, marine
and automotive industries. Cosworth has the necessary infrastructure to
fulfil the supply of Formula One engines without affecting our other
activities."
Cosworth's tradition of success in Formula One
began when its DFV engine won first time out in 1967. It was the first
F1 engine to be designed to function as a fully stressed element of the
chassis, enabling the sport's most innovative engineers to repackage
their cars and find considerable performance improvements; this
philosophy was swiftly copied and remains at the core of F1 design. The
CA2006 Cosworth Formula One engine was raced by the WilliamsF1 team
throughout the 2006 season. It was competitive from the outset and
achieved a Formula One landmark of 20,000RPM during qualifying for its
race debut at the 2006 Bahrain GP. The CA2006 Series 6 was capable of
completing more than a third of a race distance at 20,000RPM - a record
unequalled to this day.
Cosworth has a longstanding reputation
for being even-handed in dealing with its customers in top-level
motorsport and for meeting their exacting needs. Full traceability of
every component is maintained through rigorous control of all processes
using the same quality standards that are applied to its aerospace and
defence customers.

Redline Time Attack
Posted by Cosworth USA on Thursday, June 04, 2009
The Redline
Time attack was held at Willow Springs this weekend (May 30/31). There were
many Cosworth customers racing at the event including the new Sierra Sierra
Enterprises Mitsubishi EVO 8. The SSE team is new to time attack but not new to
racing. They have participated in open wheel racing for many years with great
success. Team owner Dennis Kottke is a serious racer and his team has prepared
one of the most serious time attack cars out there. Since the team was familiar
with Cosworth powered cars from their open wheels days, they asked us to build
a reliable, race winning engine for the EVO. Using our proven 2.2L short block
and CNC Ported Big Valve Cylinder Head with M3 Cams, our talented team at
Cosworth assembled a powerful 4G63 for the car.
The SSE EVO8 features many custom parts and carbon fiber
components along with high level electronics from Cosworth.
We are also pleased to be working with the Fontana Nissan Team and their 350Z . Fontana Nissan runs a first class operation and has one of the nicest cars out there. This was their first event using the new Cosworth 3.8L stroker kit. The car was fast and relaible all weekend long and we look forward to seeing the car at future events. Fontana Nissan is also starting a high performance division
that will soon offer Cosworth performance parts.
