Once again this specification surprises me.
I understood that the 1997 GTR had a destroke engine in order to have larger air restrictors. The capacity of the BMW was then 5995 cc.
Meanwhile, on the GT, the BMW retained the 6064 cc engine (seemignly for easier homologation, as it was already passed by previous versions),
What is your view on this particular #028R?

Thanks in advance.
