The economy of racing. You of course know how to make a small fortune in racing? Start with a large fortune...So you want to go racing with an exotic Formula car, a Formula 1 Ferrari would be nice! Cost, mega bucks. Older F-1 cars with Cosworth Ford V8's are reasonable...that is until you get to engine rebuilds, $60,000.00 for an engine rebuild. That's out of my budget.

While at Miller I came across a possible solution. How about a 1987 March 87-B Formula 3000 but without the Cosworth and in its place a Near stock BMW V-12 production car engine. The BMW V-12 is a little bit longer than the Cosworth V-8, like 14 inches. At least the chassis needed to be lengthened that much. The stock BMW V-12 puts out about 300 horses and the rebuilds only cost $6,000.00.

One advantage of using the long BMW V-12 is that it made the car more stable and less twitchy and evil to drive.
