Cosworth, the pioneering high-performance technology and engineering company, will celebrate its unsurpassed motorsport engineering legacy at the 2025 Goodwood Revival. Cosworth will play a pivotal role as a partner to the event, held at the Goodwood Motor Circuit near Chichester from Friday 12 to Sunday 14 September.
Cosworth, which was founded in 1958 by a couple of young engineering mavericks, Mike Costin and Keith Duckworth, hence the name ‘Cosworth’, will mark its pioneering achievements and transformative effect on global motorsport and automotive engineering through a series of special activations at the Goodwood Revival.
Key historic racing cars, including Lotus 18 and Lotus 49 will participate in Goodwood’s tribute to Scottish driver Jim Clark, on the occasion of the 60th anniversary of his most successful season. Clark won the Formula 1 Drivers’ World Championship in 1963 and 1965, also winning the Formula 2 World Championship, Indy 500 and Tasman Series in the same year, before his untimely death in 1968 at the age of 32.
Visitors to the Revival will have a unique opportunity to examine Cosworth engines that transformed global motorsport in detail at the Earls Court Motor Show. Engines on display in the ‘Double Four Valve’ Café will include the Cosworth DFV. Introduced in 1967, the 3.0-litre 90-degree V8 DFV (Double Four Valve) won first time out at the Dutch Grand Prix in 1967, where it powered Jim Clark’s Lotus 49 to victory.
From there, the Cosworth DFV went on to become the most successful Formula 1 engine of all time, utterly dominating the sport from 1967 to 1983. During that time, it won 155 Grand Prix races, secured 12 World Drivers’ Titles and delivered 10 Constructors’ Championships.
Cosworth will also display an SCA power unit, the first engine to feature a Cosworth-designed alloy cylinder head, based on a Ford Cortina 116E block. Introduced in 1964, the four-cylinder engine dominated Formula 2 racing for the next two years. A Cosworth FVA (Four Valve Type A) engine will also be shown. The revolutionary 1.6-litre, 4-cylinder, 16-valve unit introduced in 1966 also achieved exceptional success in Formula 2, dominating the sport until the early 1970s, and served as a vital test bed for the DFV.
Florian Kamelger, CEO of Cosworth “When it comes to celebrating Cosworth’s unequalled global motorsport and road car engineering heritage, there is simply nowhere better than the Goodwood Revival – a wonderful event and a true highlight of the global classic and historic motorsport season.”
“Cosworth was forged in motorsport. Our founders, Keith Duckworth and Mike Costin, knew that there was no more challenging environment on the planet to prove oneself, one's company, and one's products. They shared a passion for precision that still drives everyone at Cosworth today. We are delighted to be able to share that passion and our heritage with motor racing enthusiasts at Goodwood Revival this weekend.”
The Duke of Richmond and Gordon, who hosts the Goodwood Revival each year, commented: “It is a great pleasure to welcome Cosworth, a company that has contributed so much to global motorsport through the engineering genius of founders Keith Duckworth and Mike Costin and their successors, as a partner to the Goodwood Revival. Having the British-based company join us this year is particularly poignant as we celebrate the life of double Formula 1 Champion and current Goodwood lap record holder, Jim Clark.
“No commemoration of the iconic Scottish driver would be complete without the presence of Cosworth, a brand that had such a profound effect on his career. A Cosworth-tuned engine powered Jim Clark to his first-ever win at Goodwood Motor Circuit with victory in the Chichester Cup on Easter Monday 1960 in a works Lotus Formula Junior car. And when Cosworth’s DFV, the most successful engine in the history of Formula One, won first time out at the Dutch Grand Prix in 1967 in a Lotus 49, once again it was Jim Clark at the wheel.”
