Just about all of them do.  Audi is almost unique in having its racing
engines prepared in house.  The part of the world I live in (Northamptonshire)
seems to specialise - not only are we the original home of Costin &
Duckworth, but we have Mercedes' racing engine preparation in a tiny
village six miles west of me (Ilmor at Brixworth) and an awful lot
of the rally teams just to the south and west.
