The Ford RS Cosworth marque is the result of a Ford-project with the purpose of "Producing a downright winner for Group A racing events in Europe." At least that's what they told the press. What really happened was a bunch of power crazed petrolheads got together and managed to obtain pictures of the whole of the Ford Motor Company's executive board at a transvestite orgy. After that it was a case of barging into the next board meeting which took place, throwing pictures on the table and demanding carte blanche to build whatever they damn well pleased. Ford's SVO department was born and shortly after, the global rubber shortage. First up was the Sierra Cosworth.

  • Cosworth is a high-performance engineering company founded in 1958 in London. They specialise in engines and electronics for motorsports, and possibly most notably in Formula One. They are based Northampton, England; have North America facilities in Torrance (California), Indianapolis (Indiana) and Mooresville (North Carolina), and an Indian facity in Pune. The name "Cosworth" comes from the founders, Mike Costin and Keith Duckworth. In 1969, they attempted to make their own four-wheel-drive car, but this project failed.
  • 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. The end of the 2006 F1 season marked the end of Cosworth's remarkable 43 year association with the series, as no team opted to use Cosworth for 2007. Cosworth returned to Formula One in 2010 as an engine supplier to Williams and three new teams (Hispania Racing F1 Team, Lotus Racing and Virgin Racing), with first units shipped in January. Cosworth's 176 wins make it one of the most successful engine manufacturers to race in F1, second only to Ferrari in victories.
