No future

In 1969, Cosworth developed its own Formula One four-wheel drive chassis, but this project, entrusted to the talented Robin Herd (ex-McLaren and soon founder of March), crouched on the picture above, never went further than private testing.

It was the designer Mike Costin himself (the “Cos” of Cosworth, founded with Keith Duckworth) who first took the wheel of the single-seater (picture below), although the Australian Frank Gardner also later tested the strange looking race car.
