BMW M1 Turbo (the extraordinary case of the BMW M1 with 1000 hp)

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…

🪀📝for group 4 if you don't mind

i'd love to! group 4 are a joy. although i have to note that aside from okuda, i'm not the biggest expert on their characters, so i apologize in advance.

group 4 silly hcs and misc thoughts

they love buying matching socks with funky designs. i really have no explanation for this i just love the idea of them picking out the craziest ones together.

i think it's no surprise that they go to cafes and bakeries together a lot, but sometimes they'd visit the pricier ones to gaze upon the incredibly well made and beautiful sweets but never actually buys them.

but sometimes they do cave .

MISC THOUGHTS : i personally see group 4 as the most close knitted friend group aside from tgang within their class, at least within the duration of the series. there's just something about them that speaks of comfort and feeling like you belong, yk? i definitely can see that they would come to one another whenever they need anything.

Oooooh!!!! How about group 4 and the "I have food in my bag" prompt!!!!!!! 💖💖💖💖💖

YESSS anything for you Paige 💗💗💗 Someone else asked for the same prompt with Kanzaki + Kayano, so I just combined it with this one. Hope you enjoy! <3

Group 4 + “I have food in my bag”

…

"Shit, we're running late!" Sugino swore under his breath, adjusting his grip on his bag and quickening his pace.

It was already 8:17 and they were still ten minutes away from the base of the mountain. On top of that, there was still the long trek to get up to the classroom.

"Slow down, Sugino," Kayano whined from far behind. She dragged her schoolbag onto the sidewalk tiredly. "Some of us don't have long ass legs like you!"

"Do you have to drag your bag like that?" Nagisa questioned, wincing at the scraping sound it was making. "Isn't your laptop in there?"

"Actually, I forgot it at home today."

Sugino threw his hands up in the air, exasperated. "Well, aren't we all having a great, productive day so far?"

Somehow, by a universal phenomenon that had to be the opposite of a miracle, the three of them had woken up late. And experienced various degrees of a chaotic morning that stalled their time to get to class.

Sugino had to run two blocks to pick up his mother's dry-cleaning, before getting stopped by the local kids at the park who wanted some baseball tips. It was Saturday, so not many elementary-grade kids had to go to school.

Nagisa had an emergency, no-prior-notice tutoring session with an anxious Sakura.

And Kayano's agent had come randomly earlier, imploring her to pause her break and take a once-in-a-lifetime role offer. She declined, of course. Then she went on to binge three episodes of her current k-drama, which was recommended by Ritsu. Eventually, she realized what time it was and survival instinct kicked in.

Long story short, all three had run into each other at the same time, rushing down the street to get to school.

"It's not like this happens everyday, though," Nagisa tried to comfort him. "I'm sure Korosensei will understand."

"Yeah...true."

They reached a busy intersection and were forced to stop as the light was green. The hectic morning traffic rushed in front of them, and the familiar hum of cars flying by eased Sugino's tension a little.

He wasn't really sure why he felt so stressed. Nagisa was right. Korosensei was more than likely to understand and not mark them tardy, as this was a pretty rare occurrence. Besides, a certain redhead he knew was more often absent than not.

Speaking of him... Sugino's brows furrowed when he spotted a flash of familiar red across the street, near some bushes.

Standing beside him, Kayano squinted. "Is that who I think it is?"

"If it is him, I'm not surprised he's late too," Nagisa commented dryly, taking a swig of his water bottle.

"It's probably not him," Sugino decided, impatiently willing the light to turn red already. The sun was fully risen by now and beating over his head. He felt sweat droplets start to fall down his neck and his ire increased.

It was odd to say, but Sugino actually strongly valued routine. It didn't suit his lax, easygoing and fun appearance, but a rigid routine was built into him ever since he started playing baseball. He liked some sense of predictability in his daily life.

So today, where everything was going wrong somehow, was creating a heaviness in his chest.

Finally, the crosswalk sign flashed to indicate they could start walking. Sugino basically ran across the street in relief, choosing to ignore Kayano's insults targeted towards his longer legs.

“Hey, jerk! Wait for us!”

He laughed in response and bolted down the sidewalk, acting out of pure adrenaline and annoyance. He glanced back over his shoulder to see the other two walking normally after him.

Thud!

Suddenly, ran into something and fell onto the pavement. It wasn't hard per say, but it was definitely a body.

"Oof!" The person exclaimed, more in surprise than pain.

Sugino felt his face flush, already prepared to apologize. He already began spouting off before looking up.

"Sorry about that-wait, Kanzaki?" He did a double take, surprised to see one of his closest friends right across him.

She was down on the sidewalk, as well. Her bag fell near her, but nothing spilled out. Her raven locks were tied up into a makeshift bun and the look on her face was one of both surprise and annoyance.

"Good morning to you, too, Sugino-kun," She replied dryly, standing up and dusting off her skirt. She reached a hand out to him, which he took.

"Hehe, my bad," he laughed sheepishly. "So you're late today too?" His brain scrambled to find a reason for why Kanzaki of all people was late.

She gestured to behind her. "And those two."

Karma and Okuda were crouched by the bushes, both enraptured by a book in his hands.

His other two companions finally caught up. "Ahhh, Kanzaki-san!" Kayano squealed, tackling the other girl in a hug.

"Morning, Kayano-san," Kanzaki greeted warmly, grabbing Sugino's arm for support before she fell for a second time. Her other hand gently patted Kayano's head.

Okuda scrambled up at the noise, adjusting her skirt and glasses. "Ah, good morning guys!"

"OKUDA-SAN!" Kayano did the exact same and collided with her in a frightening hug.

"Wow, so the gang's all here," Karma laughed, throwing his arms around Sugino and Nagisa.

"What the hell are you guys doing out here?" Sugino asked, a smile on his face.

Even if his routine was gone and they were most definitely late for class, he couldn't really be mad surrounded by his best friends.

"We could ask you the same," Kanzaki retorted, amused. Sugino noticed her nails were painted a bright shade of purple, likely in part to annoy her parents.

"We' all woke up late," Nagisa deadpanned, deciding to simplify it. "What about you guys?"

"Had a fun idea." Karma pulled out the book he'd been holding and handed it to Nagisa. Sugino peered over his shoulder.

It was an encyclopedia for marine animals, specifically invertebrates. Sea stars, jellies, squids, clams, crabs, etc. Nagisa flipped over to the bookmarked page, which was filled with types of sea urchins. There was one name that was highlighted.

"Toxopneustes elegans," he read aloud. "Native to Japan, and highly venomous."

Sugino looked up at them with raised eyebrows. "What are you guys planning...?" He asked reluctantly.

Karma and Kanzaki both hummed and looked away innocently. Okuda fidgeted with her hands, not in a nervous way but in a "how do I explain this without looking fucking crazy" way.

"Well, I got this book as a gift yesterday. And last night I texted Karma-kun and Kanzaki-san about the interesting species of sea urchins I didn't even knew exist!"

She tugged on one of her braids, her tone shifting to a more guilty one. "And then they had the idea of extracting its poison to use on enemies and bullies."

"KARMA WHAT THE HELL!"

"Kanzaki?! You too?"

Karma scowled at their reactions. "Obviously, we'd dilute it and mix a small portion into something, so it wouldn't be that bad."

"STILL!"

Kanzaki looked away. "Some of the bullies at the arcade deserve it!"

"Oh my god." Nagisa facepalmed.

"First of all, that's insane," Sugino cried. "Second of all, where do you even get this urchin?"

Okuda let out a breath. "That's why we're late today. We were gonna go to this street market to get it. It's not as busy in the mornings..."

"Okuda, you endorse this?!"

She threw her hands up. "If it's in the name of science, I can't disagree!" She cried.

"This is about ethics!"

"Kayano, why aren't you saying anything?" Nagisa demanded.

She shrugged, leaning her head against Karma's arm. "Eh, it's not the worst fate someone can have. And maybe some people do deserve something like that..."

"Oh, so you're crazy too."

She sighed deeply and dramatically, hugging her stomach. "I'm crazy, and I'm starving. You can't ask for my opinions on morality when I'm running on low fuel!"

"And this..." Kanzaki swung her bag off her shoulder and reached inside. "Is why I always have food in my bag."

She pulled out a rolled up paper bag, crumpled from being stuffed inside and handed it to Kayano. The actress opened it up, her face lighting up at the sight of fresh gourmet pastries.

"Kanzaki, you're an angel," Kayano wept, digging into a croissant.

"It's for everyone, so make sure you share." The bag was passed around and everyone was eventually sitting on the sidewalk, enjoying them.

"Aww, thanks Kanzaki-san."

"Man, what would we do without you?"

The flaky dough instantly melted in Sugino's mouth. The combination of that and the buttery flavor almost sent him to heaven right there.

"Don't think this means you can still poison people with sea urchins though," he quickly added.

Kanzaki pouted while Karma huffed a sigh. "Fine," they conceded simultaneously.

Kayano was laying on the ground, her head resting on a bunched up sweater as she devoured her second cinnamon roll. She reached a hand over to them. "It's okay, I supported your plan."

Karma took it, amused. "Thanks, Kayano-chan. You really get me."

"Kanzaki, are these from that new fancy French place?" Nagisa asked, chewing on his cheese Danish. "The one that just opened up?"

"Yup." She was already done with her own, and was playing with the small flower buds that grew on the bush.

"Wow, we're so lucky to have a kind, generous rich friend like you," Sugino joked. "We get the high quality snacks."

"Hello? I'm here too," Karma spoke up.

Sugino smirked. "I said, a kind and generous rich friend."

"You know what, screw yo-"

Claudia Donovan vs. Samantha "Sam" Carter

Remember: don't vote on "who would win in a fight", but on "who, when given a task that fits her skillset and talents, would do that task better: more comprehensively, faster, with more pizzazz, with less collateral, etc."

Endorsements! "What is she good at?"

Claudia Donovan, Warehouse 13: She’s young and knows more/has invented more stuff than people 3x her age. She has an intuitive understanding of stuff. Like she will have her own warehouse aisle one day. Genius is insufficient.

Samantha "Sam" Carter, Stargate: She runs the Atlantis base in another galaxy and has to deal with Rodney McKay being a div and Ronon Dex and Teal'c wanting the ultimate show down. She actually got between the two of them to stop the fight (and they both tower over her 5 foot nine height) and when she had to, she could lead them into battle. (If anything, she got a bit nerfed after SG1 because the writers had McKay to be the brains but Sam is 100% better.)
