BMW 320 Turbo Group 5
Brian Chatfield
Brian ran a dizzying number of Group 5 style BMWs over the years (I guess not all were true Gp5...but I maybe wrong) before switching to the dramatic TWR Jaguar XJR17 in 1993.
BELOW LEFT. .This one was was said to be an ex Ronnie Peterson works Gp5 car from the mid 1970s and the white and blue livery is similar to the works FIRST NATIONAL CITY cars of 1976/7,...and it seems to have blown the engine big time later in the race..
LOWER RIGHT . This one also appeared in Thundersaloon races with Andreas Halkiopoulos as co- driver.
Can anyone confirm how many different BMW Group 5 cars Brian ran?

May 1989 - alongside Sam Nelson's 6R4
