This video captures a thrilling Sunday race from Round 2 of the 2021 VARA B-Sedan & BSL Championship at Spring Mountain Motor Resort's "Mansell" layout. The driver, Pedro Guimaraes, piloting his #34 1969 BMW 1602 Race car, achieved a clean sweep with two wins over the weekend, now leading the championship. His personal best lap time of 2:51.8 was set on the second lap of this Sunday race.
The BMW 1602 is a B-Sedan-Lightweight class car, featuring a 2-liter engine with a 38/38DGV carburetor and 205/16/13 tires. Despite a small issue encountered halfway through the race, the driver persevered and engaged in a close battle with competitor Andy Anderson in the final laps.
The driver notes that breaking into the 2:40s would likely have required fresh tires. This race highlights the challenges and excitement of vintage racing, where simply finishing can be a victory. The event took place from April 9-11, 2021.
