Equinox Channel 4: Turbo - Cosworth V6 Development
Discussion
Apologies if this is a multiple repost:
I've not watched these for about 30 years, but re-discovered them on YouTube last night:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1LkxGx5WJzA (part 1)
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7RCdRKkt4ds (part 2)
Interesting in part 1, at about 26' 40" where Duckworth is at his drawing board, musing on the idea of using a V6 with a large centrally mounted turbo, and using the pre-war concept of compounding some of the output back into the engine.
And in part 2, at about 10' 05", they use email...1980's style. Brilliant.
It's startling - and really enjoyable - to watch an engineering based documentary that hasn't been dumbed down into bite-sized 3 second shaky camera clips for today's scientifically clueless audience.

That's actually "chat" 1980's style: VAX/VMS Phone.http://odl.sysworks.biz/disk$cddoc03jul11/decw$boo...
It's a great documentary isn't it ? Test a brand new car by ragging it around an airfield for a bit, no H&S here...
