yes!
I believe they print run was over 10,000 copies! So it's highly likely that some copies still exist! |

It is possible you can have a look at the technical details of the McLaren and Brabham cars used that year, which should be in the book.
I am interested in knowing what make of gearbox, spark plugs, fuels and Lubricants that the MP4/2 and BT53 used. I have some gaps there on my website. Thanks! |

Hi ersorniloc,
I've dug out my 1983-85 Automobile Sport and found the following: McLaren MP4/2 - McLaren/Hewland 5 speed Gearbox, SEP carbon fibre brake discs with McLaren calipers. Brabham BT53 - Brabham/Weissmann/Hewland 6 speed G'Box, Heatco carbon fibre discs, Girling calipers. There doesn't seem to be much more in there, so the rest is up to the Autocourse lot! Best of luck. |

I am still looking for race winners in:
French Formula 3 (Pre 1992) Italian Formula 3 (Pre 1992) British Formula 3 (Pre 1979) Formula Atlantic (1974 - 1991) As for the F1 section, I am missing some technical data of winning F1 cars. 1984 is still a problem as don't have the tech data for the champions, which I have for most other years (or at least the last 30). |
