As a result of Jack Brabham's long-standing relationship withHonda,Judd was hired by them to develop an engine for the company's return toFormula Twoin association withRon Tauranac'sRaltteam.

After the demise of Formula Two at the end of the 1984 season, Judd continued to develop new engines for Honda. The first was the Judd AV, aturbochargedV8 enginebuilt for Honda'sCARTcampaign. It was first used on the CART circuit midway through the1986 season,fielded byGalles Racingand driverGeoff Brabham.It was initiallybadgedas theBrabham-Honda,and scored a fourth-place finish at the1986 Michigan 500.In1987,the engine was used for the first time at theIndianapolis 500.Brabham scored second-place finishes in 1987 atPoconoandRoad America,as well as a third at the season finale at Miami.

The engine became known for its reliability and superior fuel mileage (particularly in the 500-mile races). However, it was at a decided power disadvantage compared to the top engine of the time, theIlmor-Chevrolet.

In 1988,Truesportswith driverBobby Rahaltook over as the primary team, and the "Honda" name and support was dropped from the powerplant. During the1988 season,Rahal took advantage of the engine's reliability in the 500-mile races, finishing fourth atIndyand second at theMichigan 500.He then scored the first and only Indycar victory for the Judd engine, at the1988 Pocono 500.His ten top-10 finishes led to a third-place finish in the season points standings. Judd continued to build upgrades to the AV into the early 1990s, even after Honda had stopped badging the engines. When Honda moved into the newFormula 3000series, Judd again developed the company's engine. Based on the architecture of the AV, the new BV V8 was a naturally aspirated variant, and would eventually form the basis for the Judd CV Formula One engine.

After the company's departure from Formula One, Judd returned to Formula 3000 in 1995 with the development of the 3-litre KV V8 engine. Judd built the engines that every Formula 3000 team used, althoughZytekwas tasked with maintaining the over 80 engines after they were built. Judd stopped production of the KV and the Formula 3000 series ended in 2004; contrary to rumour, Zytek did not use the KV engine as a basis for theA1 Grand Prixunits in 2005, but used their own V8 designed by ex-Judd engineer Hiro Kaneda.

Formula One

In 1988, in conjunction withMarch Engineering,Judd made the move into the recently reintroduced normally aspirated variant ofFormula One,which would completely replace turbocharged cars in 1989. By using the existing BV V8 as the starting point for their new F1 engine, Judd saved cost while at the same time producing a customer engine that could compete on track and in the marketplace with theFord-CosworthV8s that were standard equipment for the (mostly smaller) teams competing to the new rules.

The first Formula One engine developed by Judd, the CV, was built to the 3.5-litre engine formula fornaturally aspirated engines.The engine shared many design features with the Judd BV engine, but was expanded to 3.5 litres. March Engineering was the first team who signed to use the Judd CV. Reigning World Constructors' championWilliamswas later forced also to turn to Judd, after they lost their supply of Honda engines for 1988. In addition,Ligieralso bought CVs for use in the 1988 season. Judd-powered cars finished in podium positions four times during their debut season, with Williams' lead driver,Nigel Mansell,scoring Judd's first podium when he finished second at the1988 British Grand Prix.

During the1988season, the 600 bhp (447 kW; 608 PS) JuddV8was commonly the fastest of the non-turbo engines, and the Marches ofIvan CapelliandMaurício Gugelminregularly recorded higher speeds through the speed trap than theCosworth DFR- andDFZ-powered cars with Gugelmin recording the fastest "atmo" speed trap of the season when he hit 312 km/h (194 mph) during qualifying for theGerman Grand PrixatHockenheim(though this was still considerably slower than the turbo-poweredMcLaren-Hondaswhich were timed at 333 km/h (207 mph)). At the1988 Japanese Grand PrixCapelli's Judd-poweredMarch 881became the first naturally-aspirated car to lead a lap of a Grand Prix since1983,when he briefly passed the McLaren of two-time World Drivers' championAlain Prostfor the lead on lap 16 of the 51 lap race.

For the 1989 season, Judd developed the all-new narrow-angle Judd EV, with a more compact 76-degreeVangle, rather than the more conventional 90 degrees of the Judd AV/BV/CV, and the Cosworth DFV series. Construction of the CV continued as a cheaper alternative for smaller teams.Team LotusandEuroBrunwere the only CV customers, with Lotus finishing sixth in the Constructors' Championship. EuroBrun was originally the only team to continue with the CV unit into 1990, butLifeeventually bought CV units to replace their failed in-houseW12 enginedesign.

The previous Judd CV was designed with a conventional 90-degree engine block. Following the 1988 season it was decided that a narrower vee-angle would be adopted to give a more compact engine; the original intent was a 75-degree vee, but limitations in Judd'sCNCequipment (it could only work in even-degree increments) meant that 76 degrees was used instead.

March Engineering upgraded their 1988 CV unit to an EV in 1989, whileBrabhamwas also supplied with the new engines. Brabham and March each scored one podium with the EV engine. Both teams continued with the EV in 1990, although March Engineering was renamedLeyton House Racing.Leyton House took the engine's only podium of the season, a second place at theFrench Grand Prix.For 1991, Team Lotus was the only team to use the older EV.

In the normally aspirated 3.5 litre formula, ten and twelve cylinder engines had proved to be more powerful than V8s. This prompted Judd to replace the CV and EV V8s with an all-new engine in 1991 for theBMS Scuderia Italiateam. The new 72-degree angleV10 enginewould carry the GV name. The engine was powerful, helping the team to a podium finish in theSan Marino Grand Prix.

Judd's agreement with Scuderia Italia ended following the 1991 season, leaving the GVs to be used by the Brabham team and newcomersAndrea Moda Formulain 1992. Neither team scored a point all season and Judd Engines pulled out of Formula One.

Yamaha partnership

Following Judd's withdrawal from Formula One in 1992, John Judd turned toYamahato continue production of his engines. Using the Judd GV V10 as a base, Yamaha developed an all-new cylinder head and branded the motor as the OX10, for use byTyrrell Racingin1993.Once again, Tyrrell were unable to score any points all season. An improved OX10B for1994boosted Tyrrell's performance, as the team scored a podium and finished sixth in the Constructors' Championship.

Rule changes in1995saw the OX10C (known by Judd as the HV) reduced to 3 litres, although the architecture of the engine was generally the same. Tyrrell's performance fell off again however, as the team scored five points and finished eighth in the championship.1996saw the same points total from Tyrrell, although the new Yamaha OX11 (Judd JV) engine was an all-new design. After 1996 Tyrrell switched to using Ford-branded engines.

An updated C-Spec version of the OX11 was used byArrowsin1997.Featuring a new bottom end, with changes consisting of a revised sump, crankshaft, oil pump and water pump; the OX11C had an extremely low centre of gravity (and a dry weight of 105 kg vs the Renault RS09's 121 kg) but was underpowered (708 bhp vs the RS09's 755 bhp) and most of all unreliable.

Consequently, a D-Spec was introduced for the fourth race, atImola,with significant improvements in the airflow management of the combustion chamber area, which permitted the OX11D to gain 20 hp, which along with superior Bridgestone tyres propelledDamon Hillto a second place at theHungaroring,the 11th race of a year that otherwise was pretty lacklustre withPedro Diniz's 5th place at theNürburgringas a last high point before Yamaha consequently pulled the plug on the failing project.

In 1991, theWorld Sportscar Championshipintroduced an engine formula nearly identical to Formula One. This was an attempt to decrease cost by allowing sportscar teams to purchase Formula One engines, while at the same time encouraging major sportscar manufacturers to enter Formula One. This allowed for Judd to offer their GV V10 to customers following modifications to meet the endurance requirements necessary in the World Sportscar Championship.

As financial troubles hit other teams, the Judd V10 became one of the few privately funded engines for the top C1 class.Mazdawas forced to turn to Judd to replace their outlawed rotary engines, although the GV10s would be rebadged as Mazda MV10s. Euro Racing, also purchased GV10s for theirLola T92/10s.Mazda finished third in the team's championship while Euro Racing took fifth.

The World Sportscar Championship was cancelled in 1993, quickly ending Judd's first brief involvement in sports car racing.

After engine involvement with Yamaha in Formula One, Judd returned once again to sports car racing. Believing that a large naturally aspirated engine would be fitting for use as a customer supply in theSports Racing World Cup,Judd resurrected the GV10 from a few years earlier. Expanded to four litres and upgraded with new technology, the new GV4 became a favorite choice for teams not running the dominantFerrari 333 SP,eventually winning the championship withRacing for Hollandin 2002 and 2003. In 2000 aDoranFerrari 333 SP-Judd hybrid appeared, the performance of the Judd engine being deemed superior to that of the six-year-old Italian unit, which was no longer supported by Ferrari.

The GV4s also became powerful enough to contest for overall wins in the24 Hours of Le Mans,withOrecaDallarasrunning the GV4 finishing fifth and sixth in2002as well as an overall victory for Doran Lista at theRolex 24 at Daytonathe same year. The engine's reliability record at Le Mans was still patchy and, while it could challenge for the pole inDomesand Dallaras, the engine RPMs had to be reduced to ensure it survived the race.

The 4.2-litre GV V10 engine was designed and developed for the 2013 season as a result of the remarkable success of the GV4 engine in the Boss series. Compared to the 4.0-litre GV V10 engine, the 4.2-litre GV V10 has been modernized; with lighter cylinder heads, twin-barrel throttles, and a lower centre of gravity. The engine is also 10 kg lighter than the 4-litre version. The engine made its race debut inApril 2013at theHockenheim circuitin Germany, scoring a double victory on its debut. The engine was expertly installed in the Benetton chassis by Kevin Mansell.

Further success has followed in the2014,2015and2016 seasons.

In 2001, theAutomobile Club de l'Ouest(ACO), organisers of the 24 Hours of Le Mans, announced new regulations forLe Mans Prototypes.The smaller LMP675 category would allow naturally aspirated V8 engines up to 3.4 litres. Using the design of the Formula 3000 KV V8, Judd expanded the engine to the maximum of 3.4 litres and reinforced it forendurance racing,creating the KV675.

In its debut year, the KV675 won the LMP675 championship in theAmerican Le Mans Seriesfor Dick Barbour Racing. However, factory-supported efforts byMGand then Zytek were the dominant efforts in LMP675, so the KV675 only won its class at the2004 24 Hours of Le Mans.It also won the LMP2 class championship in the ALMS in 2005. Both victories were for Intersport Racing, installed at the back of theirLolaB2K/40.

In 2002, Judd introduced a variant of the GV4 known as the GV5. The engine capacity increase to five litres was an attempt to reduce rpms, increase torque, and increase reliability. The GV5 quickly proved its superiority over the GV4, when it took second place in the teams' championship in theRolex Sports Car Seriesin its debut year with Doran.Pescarolo Sportlater went on to finish fourth at the 2004 24 Hours of Le Mans with a GV5. The following year, Pescarolo finished in second place at Le Mans and won the teams' championship in theLe Mans Endurance Series.

The GV5 received an upgrade in 2006, using lighter materials to decrease the weight of the unit by 20 kg.The GV5 S2 showed its performance by taking the Pescarolo to second place once again at Le Mans behindAudi's R10, as well as winning every event in the Le Mans Series season.

The engine was further upgraded in 2007, with an increase in displacement to 5.5 litres to produce more torque while attaining the maximum power at lowerrpmsand improving fuel consumption, as the Judd GV5.5 S2.

In an attempt to displace Ford and Cosworth as the only supplier of engines in theChamp Car World Series,Judd proposed a variant of the KV675 for use in the series through an agreement with MG, who would badge the engine. The deal did not come to fruition, but the development work performed based on the KV675 to adapt it to Champ Car was transferred to sports car racing. The improved engine, known asXV675,retained the 3.4-litre layout but included technology developed from the GV series of engines to increase revs and performance while reducing weight.

The XV675 debuted in 2004 with mixed success.Ray Mallock Ltd.earned the XV675 one of its few successes, winning the LMP2 class at the2005 24 Hours of Le Mans,but the team later switched to theAdvanced Engine Researchturbocharged LMP2 engine which had become dominant in the class. It was used until 2008.

On September 12, 2007, Engine Developments announced their plans for a replacement for the XV675, termed the DB. Although it retained the 3.4-litre engine capacity, the unit was entirely new. Judd planned to work closely with a top LMP2 team in order to get better testing out of the DB in 2008 before the engine was released to any customers.The engine is now found at the back of the numerous Lola B08/80 LMP2 cars in the LMS championship where it competes against the Zyteks and the rarePorsche RS Spyders.

Touring car racing

In 1997, Engine Developments was chosen byNissan Motorsto lead their engine development program on thePrimerafor theBritish Touring Car Championship.Nissan went on to win the constructors' championship in 1998 and 1999, withLaurent Aïellowinning the driver's title in 1999.

As part of MG's involvement with Judd elsewhere, the two worked together on MG's return to the British Touring Car Championship in 2004. Judd developed the K2000 engine for theMG ZS,withAnthony Reidfinishing fourth in the driver's championship in their debut year. However, MG's financial troubles forced the company to drop out of the championship soon after, leaving the K2000 open to customers. Des Wheatley installed the engine in anMG Metroand won the BritishRallycrossChampionship.
