Cosworth was split up about 6 years ago, cosworth engineering was sold to audi and ford kept cosworth racing.

Also i work for ford and cosworth racing WILL be sold, Jaguar F1 will be sold, dont know about WRC. And the RS fiesta will NOT be made, dont know about focus cosworth.

Ford aint decided on WRC yet, looking at the world touring car championship. M-Sport have put together the additional funding needed to run in the WRC next season but do not have the funds to develop the new focus as well as running the old one. Rick
