It's mid 1984 and we join 'Cosworth' the British racing engine manufacturer that is the last company to make a 'Formula 1' engine to the 3.0 litre naturally-aspirated rules against the 1.5 litre turbocharged competitors. In July 1984 at the British Grand Prix (Brands Hatch), 'Cosworth' and 'Ford' announce that have decided to join forces again and create a new 'F1' engine to the highly powerful 1.5 litre regulations in order to remain competitive. This is the start of that journey into the design, build and testing of a new engine unlike anything they have done before. (F1) 'TURBO - Once Around The Block' follows the development of the 'Ford Cosworth - GBA TEC' V6 Twin Turbo 'Formula 1' engine. Written by Britrick_c21 See less
