The fourth BRM V16 chassis was first unveiled by the Duke of Richmond at the Goodwood Revival in 2021. The culmination of years of effort by the Owen family to reignite the famous British Racing Motors brand, this car was originally meant to be finished back in the 1950s, as one of three P15 cars that were never finished. Now, as the first of the three to come to life, it brings the screaming sound of the V16 engine back to life for all to hear.
The V16 will be raced at the Revival by Rob Hall, who oversaw the build of this latest V16 at Hall & Hall in the run up to its debut at the Revival in 2021. Speaking of the return to Goodwood, John Owen BRM director and son of Sir Alfred Owen, who took over BRM from founder Raymond Mays, said: “We have been very clear from the start of the project that the final three MK1 P15's are to be built so that they can be seen and be heard.”
“They form an incredibly important part of British Motor Racing and British engineering history and it is vital that this is not forgotten. What better way to demonstrate this to the next generation by actually racing?”
