Summary

BMW M1  In this episode, I cover the BMW M1, a sports car developed in the late 1970s through a partnership between BMW and Lamborghini. The project started strong but due to finical issues with Lamborghini, the M1 was soon behind schedule and was never able to recover, killing its racing career before it even started. Today the M1 is considered one of the best cars of all time despite this failure and holds a special place in car enthusiast's hearts.  Sources: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/BMW_M1#:~:text=The%20BMW%20M1%20(model%20code,BMW%20from%201978%20to%201981.&text=The%20resulting%20car%20was%20sold,plug%2Din%20hybrid%20sports%20car. https://www.caranddriver.com/features/a15141546/the-m1-trilogy-the-history-of-the-m1-feature/ https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Silhouette_racing_car https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jochen_Neerpasch https://www.automobilemag.com/news/bmw-m1-history-design-specifications-photos/ https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-YDv1nhJrR8 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vXhmm8gy3EY https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/BMW_M1_Procar_Championship https://www.marketmotorsports.com/articles/bmw%20m1 https://www.enginelabs.com/engine-tech/fuel-systems/what-you-need-to-know-about-mechanical-fuel-injection/#:~:text=Mechanical%20fuel%20injection%20works%20with,position%20of%20the%20air%20valve. https://drivetribe.com/p/raging-bull-1987-lamborghini-lm002-Mnb0_QdWQO2LpByykioPOQ?iid=HrAOq6hwRXWlmcRNJLrLCQ  Music:  Too Cool by Kevin MacLeod Link: https://incompetech.filmmusic.io/song/4534-too-cool License: http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/ Heartbreaking by Kevin MacLeod Link: https://incompetech.filmmusic.io/song/3863-heartbreaking License: http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/ District Four by Kevin MacLeod Link: https://incompetech.filmmusic.io/song/3662-district-four License: http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/ Guiton Sketch by Kevin MacLeod Link: https://incompetech.filmmusic.io/song/3834-guiton-sketch License: http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/
