Good article on the Brabham BT49, however the information surrounding the BMW M10/12 derived turbo engine is not entirely correct. At the end of it's development for formula 1 use, the M12 did produce approximately 1500bhp in qualifying form. However, this level of output was not reached until 1986/7. Those who worked on the car would be able to give more accurate figures, but my best estimate is that in 1981/2 the engine produced in the 650bhp region in race trim and perhaps 820-850bhp in qualifying. The turbo cars of the era were significantly faster than their (mainly) Cosworth (500-540bhp) powered rivals, but the power gap was not 1000bhp in qualifying.

I've had a stab at a template for racing cars (see template:Racing car) to summarise the usual data. I've used the F1 templates as a starting point and applied it to the Brabham BT46 article. If anyone's got an interest in this, please have a look at the template and modify or suggest changes as appropriate. After a few people have had a go at it and we have something we're happy with we could start to use it more widely. Note that it's not meant to be specific to F1, by the way.
