ah the 1980's - they need to relax the regs in F1 to make it a bit more interesting

i'll post some vids from some turbo f1 cars at the Goodwood festival when i get a chance

I took this pic at the BMW museum at Spartenburg, in South Carolina. It was funny, looking at the block, seeing where the the old alternator mounts and other stuff from the stock 2002 1.6L had been machined off... What alot of people don't realise is that these blocks had done at least 100,000km in a normal BMW 2002 road car before they were made into a fire breathing monster... This is why they are classed as the most powerful production car engine ever produced.
