BRM V16

[kiwi285]

Unfortunately I was a year too late to see the car at Ardmore. Dad went along and for years afterwards talked about the noise that the car made. I believe that the commentators had to turn the mike off as the car went past for fear of destroying the system. Rear tires never lasted very long as they could be smoked at any time whilst the car was moving.

If only BRM has concentrated on more sensible engines (not an H16) they might have had more success. Certainly the V12's gave them wins both here in NZ and overseas.
