I'd love for the glory days of the 'worth to come back.
wont happen though
Why do you say that? :s
What makes you think that they will? I can't see a suddern turn around in fortunes for them.
A Ford powered F1 car hasnt won a constructors championship since 1981 and a drivers champion since 1995 (but that was schumacher) so we can safely say the last challenge they had was when Rosberg won the title in 1982.
As for "IRL" and "Cart"
Cart use V8 turbo lumps - exclusivly supplied by ford. Doesnt really give them any competition.
IRL uses 3 makes of engine - Toyota, Chevy, and Honda. The Chevy lumps are actually tuned by cosworth and are NA. So this I suppose means they have been keeping there finger on the pulse so to speak. But there not exactly doing great and honda are doing so much better.
Thats why I reckon cosworth still wont cut it in F1
