Errata
BRM H16 was 3.0 litres naturally aspirated (thanks Greg) and yes id did
self destruct due to use of gears to connect the two cranks. Was there a
1.5 litre supercharged BRM engine?
Alfa did use swing axles according to John H (pre WWII Alfa's). My limited
references deal only with post war Alfas.
And finally, it is amazing what people think I said about the Porsche 911.
Notwithstanding Ryan's astute reference to the winningest Porsche engined
Formula One car, the McLaren TAG turbo V6, I stand by my assertion that
Porsche cannot win Formula One. Why stop there. I challenge Porsche to try
and win Formula One and prove me a blithering idiot knowing nothing about
whereof I speak. Their CART effort was a joke. Their first attempt at
Formula One, likewise.
Even Mazda and Toyota have won at Le Mans. Endurance racing is not about
fast cars, just durable ones that aren't too slow.
