SOLVED: si_217 - Enders-Engelhardt - BMW-Busch-Monocoque
« on: February 19, 2022, 01:43:52 PM »
Here again is a sidecar-racer, and a real beautiful one at that.
Who was the driver? What were his greatest successes? With which passenger did he have them? He worked with a designer who designed a new chassis and fundamentally reworked the engine. What's his name? What kind of chassis did he build? What decisive change did he make to the engine?
For these few questions there is a whole point.  :bow:
Ein Henschel zieht am Berg und ein Mercedes
an den Türen. (and an attempt of a translation):
A Henschel in rushing up the hill, wheras in a Mercedes wind is rushing through the doors. c/o norberthanke

But it is a whole point  ;)
Who recognises the vehicle will probably be able to answer all the questions. There is bound to be new and interesting informations for some of us.
It is possible that another 'sichel-bee' will jump out of it.

Yes. LOcked for you. Please go on with the efforts and there was another special feature on the engine.

In 1973 Enders/Engelhardt made history with this special kneeler,  immaculately prepared by Dieter Busch. They took seven victories at seven GP starts. This was the fifth world champion title for Enders. In 1974 he won the World Championship title again. Only two points ahead of Schwärzel/Kleis on a two-stroke König. The BMW-boxer engines were technically exhausted. Enders glorifying career ended after the '74 season.

Completely new crankshaft with center bearing for more rigidity at higher revs

Thank you for this complete answer. You'll get one point and a 'sichel-bee'.

Thanks for the point, and especially for my next mostly beloved "sichel-bee"!
