Keith Duckworth Obituary 4
Keith Duckworth: Obituary Cosworth is sorry to record that its founder, Keith Duckworth, died on Monday, 19 December 2005. He was 72 years old. Along with his life-long colleague and friend, Mike Costin, he had set up Cosworth Engineering in 1958, and guided it to world –wide fame in the field of high-performance automotive engineering. It was Keith who personally designed the legendary Cosworth DFV V8 Formula One engine which, with 155 GP victories, is the most successful engine ever to be used in the sport. David Keith Duckworth was born in Blackburn, Lancashire, on 10 August 1933, into a family with roots in the cotton weaving industry. Having spent eight years at Giggleswick School, he then studied engineering at London’s Imperial College where, as he always cheerfully admitted : ‘I just scraped through with a pass. No way was I going to get honours….’ After completing his studies in 1957, and already known as a deep and analytical thinker, he accepted a development post at Lotus to work on their new gearbox, where he met Mike Costin, and forged a life-long friendship with the man who was to become his partner. After only one year, and determined to work for himself, he moved out of Lotus. Along with Costin, they then set up Cosworth Engineering, which originally had an authorised capital of just £100. Working alone at first (Costin’s contract at Lotus could not be broken until 1962), and using borrowed premises in Kensington, he set out on a career defined by a famous assumption that: ‘It must be possible to make an interesting living, messing about with racing cars and engines ….’ After moving to the Railway Tavern, Friern Barnet, in 1959, and taking on his first staff, Keith developed Cosworth’s first Ford-based Formula Junior engine, which soon set new high standards, and won hundreds of races. -
20 7584 7403 E-Mail [email protected] 1958 Brm Type 25
14 QUEENS GATE PLACE MEWS, LONDON, SW7 5BQ PHONE +44 (0)20 7584 3503 FAX +44 (0)20 7584 7403 E-MAIL [email protected] 1958 BRM TYPE 25 Chassis Number: 258 Described by Sir Stirling Moss as the ‘best-handling and most competitive front-engined Grand Prix car that I ever had the privilege of driving’, the BRM P25 nally gave the British Formula One cognoscenti a rst glimpse of British single seater victory with this very car. The fact that 258 remains at all as the sole surviving example of a P25 is something to be celebrated indeed. Like the ten other factory team cars that were to be dismantled to free up components for the new rear-engined Project 48s in the winter of 1959, 258 was only saved thanks to a directive from BRM head oce in Staordshire on the express wishes of long term patron and Chairman, Sir Alfred Owen who ordered, ‘ensure that you save the Dutch Grand Prix winner’. Founded in 1945, as an all-British industrial cooperative aimed at achieving global recognition through success in grand prix racing, BRM (British Racing Motors) unleashed its rst Project 15 cars in 1949. Although the company struggled with production and development issues, the BRMs showed huge potential and power, embarrassing the competition on occasion. The project was sold in 1952, when the technical regulations for the World Championship changed. Requiring a new 2.5 litre unsupercharged power unit, BRM - now owned by the Owen Organisation -developed a very simple, light, ingenious and potent 4-cylinder engine known as Project 25. -
2016 - 4Th Special Evening: December 29Th - Goodwood Themed Special Night (Same As 3Rd Evening) "Just 4 Fun", Does NOT Count Towards the Yearly Championship
2016 - 4th Special Evening: December 29th - Goodwood themed Special Night (same as 3rd evening) "just 4 fun", does NOT count towards the yearly championship. Report: Turnout was much better this time, with 10 members keen to race. Using our formula of highest placed championship position paired with lowest, and so on, the 5 teams were set as follows; Peter & Tim (P/T) Keith & Dave (K/D) Jim & Sandy (J/S) Wes & Chris (W/C) Steve & Will (S/W) Peter preferred not to use the white lane, because of potential damage caused by running the barrier, so we set up for 18 minute stints on the other 5 lanes. Thankfully Peter's team were on Black lane first and he showed us all what he was prepared to let the black car suffer when "running the barrier"! This meant that fastest lap was set on the black lane in every session. Session 1 Black lane - P/T 85.8 laps (Fastest lap 10.98, Peter) Blue lane - W/C 88 laps Green lane - J/S 87.1 laps Red lane - S/W 86.8 laps Yellow lane - K/D 82.1 laps Session 2 Black lane - S/W 93.3 laps (Fastest lap 10.88, Will) (180.1) Blue lane - J/S 90.2 laps (177.3) Green lane - K/D 86.8 laps (168.9) Red lane - W/C 90.6 laps (178.6) Yellow lane - P/T 86.3 laps (172.1) Session 3 Black lane - W/C 97.5 laps (Fastest lap 10.34, Chris) (276.1) Blue lane - K/D 92.5 laps (261.4) Green lane - P/T 91.5 laps (263.6) Red lane - J/S 92.7 laps (270) Yellow lane - S/W 93.2 laps (273.3) Session 4 Black lane - J/S 96.5 laps (Fastest lap 9.98, Jim) (366.5) Blue lane - P/T 96.1 laps (359.7) Green lane - S/W 96.8 laps (370.1) Red lane - K/D 90.3 laps (351.7) Yellow lane - W/C 98.8 laps (374.9) Session 5 Black lane - K/D 95.7 laps (Fastest lap 9.96, Keith) (447.4) Blue lane - S/W 100.7 laps (470.8) Green lane - W/C 104 laps (478.9) Red lane - P/T 96 laps (455.7) Yellow lane - J/S 100.2 laps (466.7) So the final result meant that the Hayling Hoonigans pairing of Wes & Chris have a 100% win- ning record at our Special nights when teamed together. -

A Multiple Winner in Historic Racing from 1978 BRM P25 Chassis Number: 255/R
! A Multiple Winner in Historic Racing from 1978 BRM P25 Chassis Number: 255/R • Officially backed by BRM and parent company Rubery Owen, the reconstruction of BRM’s iconic P25 front engine Grand Prix car was started in the 1960s, some time before those made by Tom Wheatcroft. • Built using a combination of original parts and parts supplied by BRM, with chassis work and assembly by the original BRM staff in Bourne, the home of BRM. • Raced with many victories in historic racing from 1978, and winner of the 1980 French Grand Prix support race which led to the formation of the HGPCA. • Maintained by BRM experts Hall & Hall and fitted with a new Hall & Hall BRM 2.5 litre engine, producing a very impressive 285hp. • A very competitive, and in the right hands potentially race winning, front engined Grand Prix car with eligibility for the HGPCA and Goodwood. Arguably the fastest of the front-engined Grand Prix cars. Few names in Formula 1 history evoke the same feeling of history, nostalgia and excitement as BRM. The brainchild of two men, Raymond Mays and Peter Berthon, British Racing Motors or BRM became what was effectively seen as the British national Formula 1 outfit in the post-War era. BRM arrived on the Grand Prix scene with one of the most ambitious Grand Prix car designs of all time. As the dust settled in 1947, Mays and Berthon planned to build an outstanding Grand Prix machine to take on the likes of Alfa Romeo and Mercedes-Benz. This resulted in what was to be a highly advanced design and extensive engineering exercise. -
Tyrrell 010/2 Description AB
! 1980 Tyrrell 010 Chassis No: 010/2 • A competitive and useable ground effect entry to the flourishing FIA Historic Formula One Championship, with a sister 010 taking eight wins so far this season. • Historian Allen Brown has confirmed that this car was the replacement 010/2 for Daly at the US GP in 1980. Driven in 1981 by Ricardo Zunino and Eddie Cheever, with a 4th place at the British Grand Prix for Cheever, before being sold by Tyrrell as a complete entity to Roy Lane. • HSCC Historic Formula 1 Champion with Richard Peacock in 1989. • In the current ownership for the last 20 years, with minimal use. The Tyrrell Racing Organisation is a name that rings out with some of the all time Formula 1 greats, with three Formula 1 World Championships and one Constructors Championship to its name. It’s founder, Ken Tyrrell first came into racing in 1958 when he ran three Formula 3 cars for himself and a couple of local stars. Ken soon realised that he was not destined to be a racing driver and stood down from driving duties in 1959, instead to focus on running a Formula Junior team from a woodshed owned by his family business, Tyrrell Brothers. Tyrrell ran a variety of cars in the lower formulas through the 1960s, giving drivers like John Surtees, Jacky Ickx and most notably Jackie Stewart their single seater debuts. In 1968, Tyrrell’s involvement with Matra in Formula 2 was stepped up to the main stage of Formula 1, where Ken ran Matra International, a joint venture between Tyrrell and Matra.
