Jim Clark e o Lotus 49 com o motor Ford Cosworth DFV.
Como não poderia deixar de ser foi dele a primeira vitória deste grande motor. No GP da Holanda e Zandvoot 1967.
Grahan Hil e o Lotus 49 Campeão do Mundo de Formula Um 1968.
“Sem duvida alguma eu sabia que era o futuro. Percebi na organização da Cosworth, na vinculação com a Ford e nas modernas técnicas de fabricação que isto era um vislumbre dele. A situação tinha se tornado muito complicada e isto significava o início.E o começo do futuro em que o motor era o chassi.” Dan Gurney.
Outro “pulo do gato” do mestre Chapman, o motor teria de fazer parte da estrutura do chassi na traseira do carro, saindo dele apoio para suspensão e cambio. Era o começo de uma nova era como disse Gurney.
Ao final de 1965 Colin Chapman precisava de um motor para fazer frente a seus adversários, Ferrari, BRM, Maserati e o Weslake que estava por vir. Chapman e Keith Duckworth resolveram projetar e construir um motor para nova Formula de 3 litros. A eles se juntou Mike Costin que já trabalhava na Lotus e começaram a empreitada. A decisão foi por um motor V8 por ter um menor numero de peças assim sendo menos vulnerável a quebras e ter menos atrito entre as partes, podendo assim gerar mais potencia.
O V8 a 90º tinha 2.993 c , quatro válvulas por cilindro e desenvolvia no começo de 1967 410 HP a 10.000 rpm chegando mais tarde a 470 HP a 10.750 rpm.
Em busca de investidores para empreitada Chapman encontrou a Ford que depois de rejeitada pela Ferrari procurava um grande motor para se firmar no cenário automobilístico mundial. Nascia o Ford Cosworth DFV.
Nessa época cada motor custava US $ 12.000.
O Ford Cosworth DFV e suas atualizações teve de 1967 a 1983 “apenas” 155 vitórias na Formula Um, fazendo após sua estreia sete campeões do mundo de 1968/74. E depois sendo campeão mais cinco vezes.
Ah! Cosworth é a junção dos nomes COStin e DuckWORTH.
Todas vitórias desse incrível motor.
