The Secret Cosworth DFV Deal that Changed Formula 1

Описание: In 1966, Keith Duckworth designed an engine with nothing but pencil and paper that would dominate Formula 1 for nearly two decades. The Cosworth DFV won 155 races, powered multiple world champions, and changed motorsport forever. This is the complete story of how one engine, designed in less than a year, became the most successful Formula 1 powerplant in history.

What You'll Learn:

●How the 1966 F1 rule change from 1.5L to 3.0L engines created opportunity
●Keith Duckworth's engineering genius and his relationship with Colin Chapman
●How Ford's Walter Hayes funded and democratized F1 with one decision
●Why the DFV dominated for 18 years (1967-1985) with a 59% win rate
●The four critical advantages: reliability, weight, ease of maintenance, and cost
●How selling the DFV for just £7,500 created a level playing field in F1
●The rise of turbocharged engines that finally ended the DFV's reign

The Cosworth DFV proved that simplified designs, weight savings, and high-revving engineering could outperform brute displacement. It powered teams like Lotus, McLaren, Williams, Tyrrell, Brabham, and dozens more—making Formula 1 accessible to privateer teams for the first time.
