    My other passion (hence my avatar):

    From my home town (Bourne, Lincolnshire), Hall & Hall have built a completely new chassis and engine of the original 1950's BRM v16 (that's a supercharged 1.5 litre v16), to be launched at the Goodwood Revival, next weekend.

    Way too complex a design, so massively unreliable at the time, but always regarded as one of the best sounding F1 engines ever. I always wondered if, with modern materials and engineering, it could be made more reliable without impacting the essence of the original.
