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.
