To "Kevin Kalkhoven" and "Gerald Forsythe". Not a lot more in the news where I read it from, I would post the link but it's in Spanish..

I thought that Audi owned Cosworth?

thats been reasonably well published in the UK.

Forsythe has had a team in CART for several years - no doubt hes bought cosworth to protect supply of engines to CART. CART only uses ford / cossie engines....

I have read that these two guys actually own the CART series. So I guess Cosworth is in the hands of those whos best interest is to keep it going!

ps

it doesnt realy make sense that the engine would be called a ford cosworth if it was owned by audi....

VW/Audi bought some part of Cosworth, probably more to do with manufacturing. Possibly the Worcester site?
Will check with my ex-boss 2moro. He usually knows about these things.
