Bill Nabham doing some testing with the new setup on the BMW.
Check out this traction limited run. The sound is awesome!

How reliable is a 4 rotor engine....that is if it's not pushed to the max and just has conservative mods and tuning?

guy this is the first ever run for that new setup....the car now has a new PRO RWD chassis and a different turbo setup so they are still setting up the chassis for that 1200+ hp....
Jambo is a huge even in Oz and this car was completed days before the event so shake down runs was limited because of time...as crispeed stated earlier this 4 rotor engine was in a 3/4 chassis older style BMW that ran low 7's with a huge single thumper but with that old chassis the full potential of the motor couldnt be reached...did u guys remember when this car first came out at the auto saloon? it had 6-7 TV screens, full system, leather and everything u'll find inside of a show car...people always bashed the pink bimmer but when bill ran that 7.2 the world stood in shock...good luck to the QSR team & mazsport

That was awsome! Would love to see a run with the car hooking properly. Someone has a big bag of dough!

Do we know any technical specs regarding this car? What EMS system is he running? Is he using a distributor or a CAS? It looks to be fuel injected but I really couldnt tell.

Thanks
Chris
