'''Cosmo Autosport''' are a British sim-racing team, led by [[Joshua Anderson]]. They currently compete in the [[World Sport Series]], [[International Touring Cup]] and [[Formula Challenge]] series in [[GPVWC]]. The team are possibly well known for their exciting car liveries and team mascot, but more likely for bringing new or unknown promising talent in GPVWC a chance to shine, and also giving existing talent a new background to enjoy themselves within.

Cosmo's GPVWC debut would come in the [[2014 World Sport Series season|2014 WSS season]], where they would take car numbers 38 and 39. They would field GPVWC newcomer [[Rob Mason]] and [[TSA|TheSixthAxis Racing]] stalwart [[Cameron Brewster]], the latter driving for a team other than a TSA-associated one for the first time in his career. The team's debut at Bahrain went exceedingly well, with Mason having finished 20th and 14th - scoring points in his debut round - and Brewster finishing 13th and 4th. In doing so, the team gained their first points, and first top-5 in their history - and Brewster also gave the team their first laps in the lead, having taken the lead on lap 1 of race 2 and holding it until lap 3.

Strong, surprising finishes would be the theme of the team's season - Brewster went on to score points in all but two of the races he participated in, including the team's first podium in Spain (Brewster finished 2nd in race 2) and Mason continued to perform well and score occasional points, both drivers having never experienced WSS before. Brewster eventually finished 10th in the Drivers' Championship, and Mason's points would aid Cosmo to 9th in the Teams' championship.

Cosmo also made the grid for the [[2014 International Touring Cup season|2014 ITC season]], where they would field a BMW 1-series. Their drivers, in a significant departure from their usual ethos, were [[David Nannen]] and Superleague veteran [[Tom van der Voort]]. The season was to be a disaster for the team, with Nannen having consistent issues with the car in Bahrain to begin with. Nannen left the team, still on good terms with the team however, after the first round. He would soon be replaced by newcomer [[Max Spooner]], the team returning to their idea of new talent. However, after taking part in the round at Pukekohe, Spooner would fail to show for any further rounds, and was eventualy replaced by another new driver, [[Thomas Hinss]]. Hinss would drive for the team until Laguna Seca, where he would leave the team of his own accord to pursue a FWD seat at [[Nijo Racing]].

This led to the signing of [[Todor Pangev]], who would drive at the USA round (missing the first race), but would not show up for the Japanese round. For the final round at Interlagos, Pangev was replaced with Spaniard [[Tomeu Cabrer]], again new to GPVWC. The team finished almost last in the Teams' championship, having scored only 4 points, all by van der Voort. The team had a total of 8 drivers during the season ([[Matthew Allington]] stood in for van der Voort at the Czech round of the championship and team boss Anderson had a stint at Adelaide, where neither car showed up after van der Voort reported his absence in advance, but Anderson was unable to find a reserve in time).

Cosmo would apply for the [[2014 Formula Challenge season|2014 FC season]], but ultimately be unsuccessful. However, they would get their chance, taking the vacancy left when [[Airastream Motorsport]] withdrew from the series. Inheriting the #7 and #8 cars, the team quickly snapped up [[Scott Sovik]] as a reserve driver and Sueprleague reserve driver [[Ben Horrill]] and newcomer [[Richard Coxon]] in the race seats, Coxon making his GPVWC debut after much success in historics. The team would score some solid points in what was to be a learning season for them, with Coxon learing to drive the modern open-wheelers and Horrill experiencing an extended FC seat for the first time, having completed a brief stint for [[nFinity eSports Racing]] in 2013.

The team saw considerable success, with four 6th places - two by Horrill and one by Coxon. The other 6th was taken by TouringProSeries legend [[Tim Heinemann]], making a one-off appearance for the team on his GPWVC debut. Ironically, Anderson was completely unaware of the German's previous success when he hired Heinemann and was rather shocked to find out how well he'd done in TPS. Heinemann would later see drives for [[Aurora Motorsports]] and Supercup outfit [[Edonis Engineering]]. The team finished 18th in the Teams' championship. Having only done 3/4 of the season however, it remained to be seen how they would fare in a full season.

Cosmo were granted entry into the [[2015 Formula Challenge season]], and signed the returning Coxon alongside ex-[[Enterprise GP|EGP]] driver [[Hansko Mebius]]. They were initially to take car numbers #18 and #19 before [[2015 Career Ladder numbering system|the introduction of a Ladder-wide numbering system]], and eventually picked car numbers #TBA and #TBA.
