BMW silhouette hillclimb racer

Found a story on this car in the latest Racecar Engineering

Judd V8 from an LMP2 car- sounds like an F1 car.
Carbon brakes, sophisticated roll cage/tube frame, Audi R15 gearbox, weight-optimized suspension tuned for mechanical grip, 780kg with 5liters of fuel.

enjoy.
