Seems Forsythe & Kalkhoven have put Cosworth up for sale...

Motoring company Cosworth puts itself on sale (http://www.telegraph.co.uk/finance/newsbysector/transport/9614006/Motoring-company-Cosworth-puts-itself-on-sale.html)

Things just keep getting betterer and betterer:rolleyes:

Were they planning to make the new engines? With a near spec engine, seems kind of pointless to do all the R&D to sell to 2 teams for like 20 engines a year.

Ford should start buying things back. Ditch F-1. Sell a Cosworth Turbo Focus and a NA Fiesta SVT ! :) Throw Ken Block in 'em and run a bunch of "don't do this at home" commercials!:thumbup: Give away free DC shoes and Monster Energy drinks with each purchase! Then start a spec Ford 2-class race series!

They diversified into aviation parts a few years back. You will more likely see them bought by Rolls Royce or GE or supplier of either of those two.

The racing gods show no mercy.
I saw over at smack that Lola is gone too. :(

Imagine a world where idiot grandsons with money to burn invest in engine companies and innovative chassis makers instead of racing leagues.

Multimatic and Haas Auto just concluded a deal to keep some of Lola going.
