Brrrrrrrrr including an interior that makes you vomit!

BTW the BT52 in your signature... these cars are pretty expensive to race so they haven't been in action for 2 decades I think, at least not with the correct M12/13 engine. Because BMW celebrates the fact that this car won the F1 world title exactly 30 years ago, with Nelson Piquet behind the wheel, BMW decided it was time to make this car drive again for a few events. Last week, Nelson Piquet drove it on the Goodwood Festival Of Speed, and in August his former team mate Marc Surer will drive it at the Oldtimer Grand Prix at the Nurburgring. I'll make sure to be there!

I have an interview with Alex von Falkenhausen on tape (!!) where he guesstimates that the engine threw out over 1400 HP even. Their rolling road only went to abt 1300 HP so they were not sure, but it was more than that!

And finally... I am that old that I saw Nelson and the BT52 in action back in the day... great memories!





Oh well, another topic ruined by me...
