CAN-AM
SPIRIT OF THE CLASS
The 1986 F1 season saw engine manufacturers master all the intricacies of the complex 1.5 litre turbocharged regulations and dominate the grid with the most powerful engines the sport has ever seen. Too powerful to be accurately measured by the dynamometers of the day, it was thought that 1500 bhp was being regularly achieved in qualifying trim!

-
Bodywork and motor pod fixing screws may be left loose to allow the body and pod to move but must be secured in a way that prevents them from falling out.
