Cosworth

Cosworth is a high-performance engineering company founded in 1958 in London. They specialise in engines and electronics for motorsports, and possibly most notably in Formula One. They are based Northampton, England; have North America facilities in Torrance (California), Indianapolis (Indiana) and Mooresville (North Carolina), and an Indian facility in Pune.
The name "Cosworth" comes from the founders, Mike Costin and Keith Duckworth.
In a partnership with Ford, they started supplying engines in Formula One in 1963, but the first win was not achieved until 1967, with Jim Clark winning the Dutch Grand Prix for Lotus.
In 1969, they attempted to make their own four-wheel-drive car, but this project failed.
By the mid-70's, they nearly supplied engines to the whole field (notable exceptions being Ferrari and BRM), and achieved considerable success.
After falling behind in the 80's (the turbo era), they made their way back to success, and powered the Jaguar cars in the early 2000s when Ford took over Stewart Grand Prix. They left the sport in 2006.
In 2010, they returned, powering Williams, Lotus, HRT and Virgin. In 2011, Lotus left for Renault power, and in 2012, Williams did likewise.
They supplied the Marussia in 2013, before they would not supply any team in 2014.
