BMW engine in the Benetton. In real life, 1986 season, it was NOT reliable. But when it did not explode, points scored. Won 1986 Mexico Grand Prix with Gerhard Berger driving. Car (not engine) designed by Rory Byrne, who helped Michael Schumacher to five straight Driver Championships at Ferrari, 2000-2004. I tip my cap to josevillarroel7630 for posting, "The Benetton (actually BMW) engine should have exploded before the end of the lap." As wrote earlier, engine had reliability issues.
This engine did not race it was for qualifying only all teams engine lasted around a few laps. But know on mention the Porsche can am that had 1200 HP and did full faces
I believe there were two versions of the BMW engine. You are correct one for qualifying. That is most powerful engine in F1 history. The other version with maybe one-third less horsepower used in race.
Indycar is heavier but has more downforce and no turbo-lag, so it probably has the legs on the Bennetton through high-speed corners and coming off turns. The Bennetton has the horses to beat the indycar in a straight line, though. In terms of which can win in a 200-mile race...Indycar for sure. Much more reliable than the BMW engine. It was so crazy powerful it would either do amazing or blow itself up, usually the latter.
@@schkann1384not when raving it was not. It was for qualifying only and all team engines would last a few laps. Name me a race where this 1350hp engine won? It didn’t lol
@@amjan The IR-27 should hopefully be faster, but I don't understand the link between higher speeds and better racing, atleast on road courses. Also the modern indycars are some of the fastest oval cars ever.
That Benetton engine should have exploded before the end of the lap 😅
yeah that thing is definetly not made to go full throttle for that long. but in a game you can just lap the thing forever lol
@schkann1384 true it is hehehe. A good show, though.
@@schkann1384granted, that kind of power was qualifying specs but they could last a couple of laps in Hockenheim or Monza...
With Old Hockenheim or Monza Specs, The Qualify engine Will survive some laps.
@diogotenangamer I doubt it. As JohnChester commented here, the BMW engine equipped in the Benetton wasn't reliable.

Thanks for the comment and for watching the video my friend.
First win of Berger and Benetton. And 1997 last win of Berger and Benetton.

1400 HP out of a 1.5 liters inline 4, thats INSANITY
Yet, it was true. I was at the track to witness it.
Request F1 2026 VS IndyCar In Long Beach
I can’t believe the acceleration the Indycar has despite half the power and 200 kg more weight.
For real, I didn't think it would even be close.
80's turbo lag for you.

where did you download the Benetton car mod?
I would to see the most powerful F1 cars from the 80's
Now do the same F1 vs an Indy car prepped for oval on the superspeedway
The Benetton wouldn’t last long in qualifying trim
Its written Indianapolis but you were in Daytona my friend. No one noticed?
There is no mention of Indianapolis in this video.
did it realy have an enline 4
Yes. Benneton B186 en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Benetton_B186 BMW M12 Engine en.wikipedia.org/wiki/BMW_M12
yepz and it was the most powerful in its time.
@@schkann1384not when raving it was not. It was for qualifying only and all team engines would last a few laps. Name me a race where this 1350hp engine won? It didn’t lol
Benetton Wins! 😂
Pointless, an old F1 car from the 80's cmon like what do we expect, more HP does not mean better,
This engine didn’t even race lol all teams engine blew up after a few laps in qualifying. This car didn’t have 1350hp in race mode 😂
Always thought the F1 was the ultimate peak in top speed...nope it is Indy. 😊
Where did you get that idea?
So a near 40 year old F1 car beats a current Indycar! That should be cause for embarrassment...
So the biggest race on the f1 calendar had 0 passing! That should be cause for embarrassment...
The IndyCar was faster in the the road course section, not the oval one.
Agree. I love IndyCar, but that's unacceptable. An Indycar (CART) from 25 years ago would crash the Benetton.
@@amjan The IR-27 should hopefully be faster, but I don't understand the link between higher speeds and better racing, atleast on road courses. Also the modern indycars are some of the fastest oval cars ever.
Lets compare this on a real road course like road Atlanta and have a look
