This car was constructed by March Engineering in Bicester, England but the body was designed and built by McLaren. The car had a BMW M12/14 engine and was campaigned as a two-car effort in the IMSA GTP class in 1985 and 1986. The drivers were David Hobbs, John Andretti, Davy Jones and John Watson |
Whilst not strictly being a works-built BMW racing car, the F1 GTR was powered by a V12 6000cc BMW engine designated 'type S70/2' which was designed and manufactured exclusively for the supercar. BELOW: The revised 1997 'long-tail' car |
