BMW V12 LMR.... Whatever happened?
I've never heard a conclusive answer to why the V12s were pulled from competition. But I _have_ heard that the Joest boys got quite a scare when they saw one of these Bavarian beauties being pushed down pit road at Sebring this year (was just a museum exhibition, though).
Was it only to make room for the M3 GTR effort? I know Hans Stuck was _really_ dissapointed at not being able to compete in the top class last year. BMW has automatic invites to LeMans from their GT class win at Road Atlanta last year, right? Wouldn't it be incredible revenge to bring the V12 back to LeMans with no warning, and give Audi a _real_ run for their money? I know it won't happen, but it's a nice thought. |
