Kevin Kalkhoven, former co-owner of Cosworth, the KV Racing Team and the Champ Car World Series, among others, died on 4 January 2022 at the age of 77. Cosworth reports this on the official website of the company.
Kalkhoven was an influential man in motorsports. In 2003, he became co-owner of the Champ Car World Series, which merged with the Indy Racing League in 2008 to become the IndyCar Series. With his own team PKV Racing, later known as KV Racing Technology, he achieved five wins including the Indy 500 in 2013.
Cosworth commemorates motorsport magnate Kalkhoven
In 2004, Kalkhoven took over Cosworth, a British engine manufacturer that will be familiar to many Formula 1 fans. The manufacturer has long been present in the premier class of motorsport, supplying many teams with engines, including Lotus, McLaren, Toro Rosso and Williams.
Cosworth is therefore deeply affected by the loss of Kalkhoven. "We were incredibly saddened to learn of Kevin's passing following a recent illness. Since his involvement with Cosworth in 2004, he was a key source of inspiration for the company," reads part of the statement.
