Key dates of the F1

[Peloton25]

From the new book I've purchased on BMW Touring-Car Racing and Sports Cars:

Late July 1990 was the first discussion between Gordon Murray and Paul Rosche on the potential for BMW to build the engine for the McLaren F1. Their impromptu meeting occurred during the week of the Hockenheim round of the F1 Championship that year, with the actual race held on the 29th.

The book also mentions the first test-rig run of the S70/2 engine took place in Munich, December 1991. No specific date provided.

It goes on to mention that the first complete engine was delivered to Woking the following May, but we've already included that one.
