Buenos días
Bien, aprovecho estas palabras de Xug para poder hacer aunque sólo sea una referencia. Creo que se la merece. El homenaje y el recuerdo, sin empañarlo de tristeza por todo lo que nos dejó por delante.
Keith Duckworth murió la pasada noche del 18 de diciembre de 2005.
Talking about creating the company, Duckworth famously said: "We thought it must be possible to make an interesting living messing about with racing cars and engines. That was the total objective behind the formation of Cosworth."
Their original 3-litre V8 engine, the DFV, won at the hands of Jim Clark in a Lotus at the 1967 Dutch Grand Prix. It was the start of an unprecedented run of success for the DFV and its derivatives, which won a total of 154 Grands Prix.
Bernard Ferguson, director comercial de Cosworth, comentó al respecto:
"We are shocked and saddened to learn of Keith's untimely death. Everyone here at Cosworth sends their deepest condolences to his wife Jill and their children.
"He was a true innovator and a legend in his lifetime. Keith's name will live on as an integral part of both the Cosworth name and its culture."

Así es, su nombre siempre pervivirá en "nuestra cultura" y seguirá entre nosotros.
