Detailed description:
Cosworth began life in a small workshop in London in 1958 when it was founded by Mike Costin and Keith Duckworth. However, it did not stay small for long. Things quickly grew and a move to larger premises in north London were soon required, where work began on the development of the Ford 105E engine. Cosworth actually achieved its first victory when Jim Clark took a win in the Formula Junior category in his Lotus 18 at Goodwood in 1960. What originally began as a racing engine workshop grew into one of the most successful engine manufacturers in history, with driver and manufacturer titles in Formula 1, IRL, Champ Car, WRC and MotoGP. The growth and development of Cosworth to become a group of companies has created a new dimension of market opportunities outside of the motorsport world which originally nurtured the business founded over 50 years ago. Cosworth's Northampton facility is, and always has been, a recognised centre of excellence for automotive engineering in the UK and maintains close ties with the local community as well as colleges and universities.
Cosworth Group is headquartered in Northampton. The site consists of office and factory space that house some of the most technologically advanced design, manufacture and test equipment that the engineering world has to offer.
