Jaguar launch: Cosworth promise gains
Cosworth Racing will continue to develop its CR-3 V10 engine for next year's Formula 1 World Championship with Jaguar, and boss Nick Hayes says there is a lot of scope for improvement over its 2001 powerplant
The engine is regarded as one of the strongest in the Grand Prix paddock, and the emphasis will be placed on improving its all-round abilities rather than an outright bid to increase power to enhance the Big Cat's chances.
"I'm confident that, with the right development, the Cosworth CR-3 V10 engine will make significant further gains in 2002," said Hayes. "For example, the block and heads incorporate new design features, and we will introduce further modifications throughout the coming season. We are looking to improve not only ultimate power but also power-curve width, driveability and packaging.
"Indeed, despite the fact that CR-3 is an evolution of CR-2, we have nonetheless significantly lowered its centre of gravity without having had to resort to a wider V-angle or compromise its excellent packaging qualities."
Cosworth will also supply the Arrows team in a customer capacity this season.
