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.
