Hi mates. Sorry for delay.. hope everyone goes well.

+=1 conversion of another Group C beast - BRM P351 Gr.C 1991

*original model was updated with higher resolution skin.

The BRM P351 was originally a Group C sports-prototype built for the 1992 World Sportscar Championship season in an attempt to resurrect the British Racing Motors marque.

Failed to achieve its objectives, yet showed itself to be as fast as the Peugeot and Toyota works cars on the Mulsanne Straight at Le Mans. As so often happens to privateer teams with limited budgets, most of the testing was carried out in race conditions and it failed to impress.

The engine was designed by Graham Dale-Jones and built by Terry Hoyle's JHS company using a block derived from the Weslake V12 Grand Prix unit; it was branded as a 'BRM'. Claimed output was 626 hp (467 kW) at 11300 rpm, but it proved to be uncompetitive and unreliable.

A second chassis was planned to be completed in order to start the 1992 season but was never built.
