The BRM V16 produced an engine sound that stands on all ever engine sounds.OO7 wrote: ↑07 Nov 2020, 16:42I was pretty happy to learn that as well!

Honda GP engines ran smaller pistons, & actually won FIM World Championships...Tommy Cookers wrote: ↑07 Nov 2020, 16:15three V16 B.R.M. 1950 F1 cars are to be made from the original drawings still kept by the Owen family

FIM stands for motocross world championship and not formula one. As far as I know, and I stand to be corrected. The smallest diameter pistons Honda ever used in their F1 engines were those used on the RA272E 1.5-LITRE V12 of 1965 having a diameter of 58.1mm and paired with a stroke of 47mm for a cylinder capacity of 124.583cc. On the other hand. The BRM type 15 1.5-LITRE V16 of 1951 used 49.5mm pistons paired with a stroke of 48.3mm for a cylinder capacity of 92.967cc.J.A.W. wrote: ↑08 Nov 2020, 00:12Honda GP engines ran smaller pistons, & actually won FIM World Championships...Tommy Cookers wrote: ↑07 Nov 2020, 16:15three V16 B.R.M. 1950 F1 cars are to be made from the original drawings still kept by the Owen family

You are totally mistaken. i did no such thing. the time and date are factual.Tommy Cookers wrote: ↑11 Nov 2020, 18:48what a lot of smartarses !!!J.A.W. wrote: ↑08 Nov 2020, 00:12Honda GP engines ran smaller pistons, & actually won FIM World Championships...Tommy Cookers wrote: ↑07 Nov 2020, 16:15three V16 B.R.M. 1950 F1 cars are to be made from the original drawings still kept by the Owen family

the smallest GP motorcycle pistons were of course the (50cc) Suzuki twin's 32.5 mm
unless we count the never-raced 50cc GP Suzuki 3 cylinder's 28 mm
or the never-raced 50cc Fitz-Ray 4 cylinder's 25.15 mm
(Honda have never used pistons smaller than the 33 mm of the 1962 RC112/1963 RC113)
