Title: Barrett's #86 - Solved - Renault 4CV/ BMS Barquette 1952
Post by: barrett on November 29, 2010, 08:07:54 PM
What's this? I don't know who built it, so tell me who is driving it here and what it was based on for a point. A second point if you can prove the name of the builder

4CV based yes, but not '54 and like I said, I'm not sure of the make.

A clue - this is a famous race, and this car came first!

I can confirm that hondast is right about this being a BMS.

Thanks a lot, but my point was kind of undeserved - hondast has already given an answer, and after all I was not able to guess in this section :) I think it just would be fair to not award it to me this time... I stepped in just because you wrote you wasn't sure about the name.

If I gave you a point it was by accident... I think I gave them both to hondast!
