Designed by Tony Rudd for the new 3 litre Grand Prix formula, BRM started the season with an enlarged version of the older engine, in a P261 chassis twhile the ambitous H16 engine was in developement he new cars coming in for the final 3 races of the season,
The H16 engine was virtually two 1.5 litre V8's with the V flatened out, one laid above the other and the two crankshafts geared together, to develope 400bhp at 11000 revs.
The H16 proved rather unreliable, but this is the most successful of the P83 H16 chassis', this car made 16 Grand Prix, finishing in 7, and scoring points for driver Mike Spence on four occassions.
1966 5th Canada, Italy and Mexico
