USGPE, three other teams seeking Cosworth engines for 2010
Four teams have reportedly paid the necessary deposit to reserve a supply of Cosworth’s customer formula one engine for 2010.
Accompanying the sport’s lower-cost future, the independent British company is set to return to F1 next year at the initiative of the FIA, guaranteeing a low-cost engine amid quit threats of engine makers that are currently involved.
Peter Windsor, the British journalist behind the USGPE (formerly USF1) team, confirmed at Monaco that accompanying a team’s official 2010 entry must be an arrangement for an engine supplier.
He said USF1 has indeed done a deal with Cosworth, and Germany’s Auto Motor und Sport claims that the arrangement must have involved the transfer of €2.5 million.
The publication said three other potential 2010 entrants have also paid the Cosworth deposit: including probably Campos Racing and Joan Villadelprat’s Epsilon Euskadi.
“It is true that we are trying (to set up a F1 team),” Villadelprat confirmed to the Spanish newspaper El Pais.
