Born in 1974 for Group 5, the 2.1 Turbo RSR changed racing. Its 500 hp flat-six was fast and brutal. As Porsche’s first turbo at Le Mans, it paved the way for the 917 and the 911 Turbo road car.

"Too busy to leave the shop for one short walk around town, huh?" Roscoe murmured, a hint of a smile on his face. Zinnia acknowledged his comment with a chuckle and a nod as she went from one plant to another, assessing each one with a careful hand and attentive eye.
"I can't leave, Ross. You know that," she responded, parting the leaves of a begonia plant, peering between the stems to check the soil. "Especially since I'm the only one working here at the moment. I have no idea where Cornelius wandered off too. He was supposed to be back twenty minutes ago."
Roscoe softly snorted, taking a long drag on his cigarette. "Cornelius isn't what I'd call a reputable employee," he huffed, casting Zinnia a sideways glance. "I can't understand why you don't fire him."
Grabbing a watering can, Zinnia began to give the begonia a plentiful amount of fresh water. "He's family," she stated slowly. "The only family I've got left."
Roscoe sighed softly. "That's what you always say." He crossed his arms, leaning against a faded doorframe. "He spends more time with those two oddball professors than he does with you at your shop."
Zinnia remained frozen in her spot, the stream of water now drowning the begonia. Roscoe was right. Her twin brother seemed to spend quite a bit of time with Nicolette and Wentworth. Not that there was anything wrong with that, she forced herself to think. She knew both professors! Not too well, admittedly, but well enough to... to... Zinnia furrowed her eyebrows as she tried to recall something about Nicolette or Wentworth, besides the fact that they both worked together at the local college in the heart of town. She shook her head, then looked at Roscoe with a smile, though it now felt forced.
"I'll talk with him," she chirped, "and get everything sorted out."
"Okay," Roscoe mumbled, nodding slowly. He tilted his head at Zinnia, his voice soft. "Well. I better get going then. I've got other deliveries to attend too."
Zinnia gazed at him. Memories flashed through her mind of her and Roscoe, dancing together under low lights, going on long midnight strolls, giggling and talking together about the future into the wee morning hours....
She shook her head. Those moments were practically from a different lifetime. She and Roscoe were better as friends.
She cleared her throat, surprised to see that the once dry soil of the begonia was now flooded. She set down the empty watering can and wiped her hands dry along her skirt.
"Be careful, Ross. I can't run this shop without my delivery driver!" she chuckled, half joking and half serious. Her words elicited a small huff of laughter from Roscoe, and he shook his head, grinning.
"Yeah. And I'll look both ways before crossing the street, I promise," he turned to leave, flicking one antenna in her direction. The two gazed at each other for a few seconds before Roscoe finally left the floral shop with a wave and a wink. Zinnia watched him go, standing alone in the silence of the shop. She sighed and glanced at the clock on the wall.
Forty minutes now that her brother was gone.
She resumed her tasks around the small store, flitting from one plant to the other, but not entirely focused on the chores at hand. After a few more minutes, and unable to quell the cacophony of thoughts in her head any longer, she strode to the front door, flipped the "Open" sign to "Closed," and hurried out of the building, forgetting to lock up. Cornelius was probably hanging around those two professors, she figured. Two folks who she didn't know much about in the first place. But that would change today.

Ignore the livery. Or don’t ignore it. Like with every other Jägermeister racing car, it might be hard to actually walk past this orange beast without giving the standout paint job at least one glance. It was designed to attract attention, just how Günter Mast — the man that gave his OK to race cars with the famous stag on the bonnet — intended. The truth of the matter is, however, that this particular car’s convoluted history is as complicated as the story of the BMW M1 itself. Therefore this car is not what it seems to be, as the orange Jägermeister livery stems from the imagination of the man that rebuilt the car, the legendary M1 whisperer Fritz Wagner. And if you ask anyone at Jägermeister headquarters about the car, they will potentially reply with a polite letter from their legal department. To paraphrase Samuel Beckett: there’s nothing funnier than tragedy. And so, the story of the BMW M1 could be perceived as one of the automotive world’s funniest. The car was originally designed with the ambition to create the greatest, mid-engined racing car of all time. One that would beat Porsche’s dominating 935 in the all-important Group 5. A masterpiece made of speed and German reliability which, in reality, became a car that had to be reverse engineered to be sold for the road. All because of changes in racing rules and homologation, which stipulated how many cars had to be produced before a particular model was allowed to hit the track. The production number of 400 cars — which seems so minuscule by today’s standards — turned out to be the first problem on a long list of unfolding disasters.
In essence, the life of this beautiful, light, well-made machine that had been designed by Giorgetto Giugiaro, who reworked Paul Bracq’s original prototype, was plagued by bad luck and bad decisions. The fact that Lamborghini — who were supposed to produce it at their factory — went bust because of copyright fraud and embezzlement of funds didn’t help. However, it was the rushed solution to disperse production all over Europe that was the final nail in the coffin. Marchese built the car's tube frame, TIR molded the fiberglass, Italdesign mated the two and installed the interior, then the M1 was shipped from Italy to Stuttgart, where Baur would install the BMW hardware, after which in Munich BMW Motorsports would do the final touches and quality control. It made the M1 almost a quarter more expensive than any equivalent Ferrari or Lambo sold at the time. Case closed.
British generals in the second world war would often joke that Germans were not very good when it came to Plan B. This might be true. In the end, even if BMW’s head of Motorsport Jochen Neerpasch, the brilliant man that he is, thought of a way to market the M1 with the Procar series, in which F1 drivers like Niki Lauda, Clay Regazzoni, and Nelson Piquet would race the cars against privateers, as a prelude to the weekend's Formula 1 race, too few examples were made for the car to ever officially leave Group 4 as was originally intended. Later on, those teams who managed to finally race in Group 5, years after BMW abandoned the programme in order to enter to F1, found the M1 simply uncompetitive. Even the twin-turbocharged models built by Schnitzer, which developed 800 hp and more from their straight six engines, were plagued by problems. his finally brings us to this particular, rather unusual example. It was allegedly built for the famous Walter Brun racing team, who later on won the Group C World Championship with a Jägermeister-liveried Porsche 956. Brun’s friendship with Paul Rosche, the man who turbocharged the BMW 2002, gave rise to the idea of installing the M88 turbo engine originally planned for the March Group-5 car into a modified M1 Procar chassis wrapped into Group 5 bodywork. However, the car was never raced. Why? Even at BMW no one knows. Particularly good news considering that back in the day, when this 1090 kg machine was put on a dyno, it put out 1000 hp and 930 NM of Torque. A reading obtained just before the machine broke while the car apparently still wanted to keep going. Now in the hands of a new owner who intends to race it regularly, it will have plenty of opportunity to shine. And so a new chapter unfolds…
