It's mid 1985 and we join 'Cosworth Engineering' the British racing engine manufacturer that was the last company to make a 'Formula 1' engine to the 3.0 litre naturally-aspirated rules against the increasing number of 1.5 litre turbocharged competitors. In August 1985, 'Cosworth' are attempting to fire-up their new V6 engine on their dynamometer in Northampton for the first time. The 'F1' engine has been designed and built to the highly powerful 1.5 litre turbocharged regulations in order to remain competitive. Now they have to get the engine started and it's proving to be problematic. Now with the might of two of motorsports technical giants (Ford and Cosworth) and an impressive number of skilled and dedicated engineers at hand, 'TURBO - Qualifying Boost' follows the development of the 'Ford Cosworth - GBA TEC' V6 Twin Turbo engine into becoming a 'Formula 1' engine.
