RE: OT - Insanity test
Yes, now I recall. Seems the Porsche TAG McClaren was the most reliable of the bunch, and the BMW inline 4 in the Brabham was the most powerfull. Hard to imagine all that power in 1.5 liters.

Re: OT - Insanity test
Those were turbo V-6's in the early '80's. 1500hp in qualifying trim tuned down to 1000 in race trim Amazing. Michael Schumacher drove one as a publicity thing a couple of years ago and was scared of the power and the way it is so different than his modern ride.
