The engine was a BMW M12 from 4-cylinder in-line with an output of approx delivered @ 10,700 rpm. Racing history The BMW 269 made its first appearance in Formula 2 during the 1969 Madrid Grand Prix, where, however, due to technical problems, it was not used by Hubert Hahne who had ...

Formula Two Cars
In science, a formula is a concise way of expressing information symbolically, as in a mathematical formula or a ''chemical formula''. The informal use of the term ''formula'' in science refers to the general construct of a relationship between given quantities. The plural of ''formula'' can be either ''formulas'' (from the most common English plural noun form) or, under the influence of scientific Latin, ''formulae'' (from the original Latin). In mathematics In mathematics, a formula generally refers to an identity which equates one mathematical expression to another, with the most important ones being mathematical theorems. Syntactically, a formula (often referred to as a ''well-formed formula'') is an entity which is constructed using the symbols and formation rules of a given logical language. For example, determining the volume of a sphere requires a significant amount of integral calculus or its geometrical analogue, the method of exhaustion. However, having done th ...

Inline-four Engine
A straight-four engine (also called an inline-four) is a four-cylinder piston engine where cylinders are arranged in a line along a common crankshaft. The vast majority of automotive four-cylinder engines use a straight-four layout (with the exceptions of the flat-four engines produced by Subaru and Porsche) and the layout is also very common in motorcycles and other machinery. Therefore the term "four-cylinder engine" is usually synonymous with straight-four engines. When a straight-four engine is installed at an inclined angle (instead of with the cylinders oriented vertically), it is sometimes called a slant-four. Between 2005 and 2008, the proportion of new vehicles sold in the United States with four-cylinder engines rose from 30% to 47%. By the 2020 model year, the share for light-duty vehicles had risen to 59%. Design A four-stroke straight-four engine always has a cylinder on its power stroke, unlike engines with fewer cylinders where there is no power stroke occu ...

Open-wheel Car
An open-wheel single-seater (often known as formula car) is a car with the wheels outside the car's main body, and usually having only one seat. Open-wheel cars contrast with street cars, sports cars, stock cars, and touring cars, which have their wheels below the body or inside fenders. Open-wheel cars are built both for road racing and oval track racing. Street-legal open-wheel cars, such as the Ariel Atom, are scarce as they are often impractical for everyday use. History American racecar driver and constructor Ray Harroun was an early pioneer of the concept of a lightweight single-seater, open-wheel "monoposto" racecar. After working as a mechanic in the automotive industry, Harroun began competitive professional racing in 1906, winning the AAA National Championship in 1910. He was then hired by the Marmon Motor Car Company as chief engineer, charged with building a racecar intended to race at the first Indianapolis 500, which he went on to win. He developed a revolutionary ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Lola T102
The Lola T102, also known as the BMW T102, is a Formula 2 car, designed, developed and built by Lola Cars, under the leadership and guidance of Eric Broadley. It competed between 1968 and 1969. It entered and competed in one Formula One Grand Prix; the 1968 German Grand Prix; where German driver Hubert Hahne finished in tenth place. Design The BMW T102 was built entirely by Lola but exclusively for BMW; hence the type designation BMW T102. The design came from the British racing car designer Len Terry. The T102 had Lola's then-typical bathtub monocoque. The body ran slim along with the cockpit and only got wider in the rear section to accommodate the engine. This was a design by Austrian BMW engineer Ludwig Apfelbeck. The 2-litre engine had four cylinders, each with four valves. When the engine had to be reduced to a displacement of 1.6 litres, problems arose with the valve control and BMW used a new unit. 1968 German Grand Prix At the 1968 German Grand Prix, Hubert Hahne set the ...
