🗣️'It handles great, the brakes are great and the engine is nearly there.' The new BRM V16 retired from its race debut at the Goodwood Revival but driver Rob Hall believes it can compete at the front ⬇️
Historic ace Hall qualified chassis IV in 12th place for the Goodwood Trophy for Grand Prix and Voiturette cars raced between 1930 and 1951, despite a fuel-system issue.
“It wasn’t pulling 100% cleanly from the start and then, after about five laps, the oil temperature was getting high,” explained Hall.Despite the retirement, Hall believes the car can compete with the frontrunning ERAs. “The ERAs have been raced and developed since new, apart from during the Second World War, and they’re simpler. But they’re beatable.”
