Formula One
Ford was heavily involved in Formula One for many years, and supplied engines to a large number of constructors from 1967 until 2004. These engines were designed and manufactured by Cosworth, the racing division of which was owned by Ford from 1998 to 2004. Ford entered Formula One as a constructor in 2000 under the Jaguar Racing name, after buying out the Stewart Grand Prix team it had become increasingly involved in. The team achieved little success, and after a turbulent five seasons, Ford pulled out of F1 after the 2004 season, selling both Jaguar Racing (which became Red Bull Racing) and Cosworth.[1]
