History

Six March 86G's were build for the BMW factory in 1986 using BMW's turbo 2.0 liter F1 engine. Only two BMW powered running examples remain. This is the #19 car of David Hobbs and John Watson. It ran eight races in the IMSA series with a best finish of 4th at Portland. The effort was cancelled at the end of that season.Performance Data
