 The Scholar 983S and 983SR Sports 1000 racing car powered by BMW

The BMW K100 8 valve engine complete with its own sequential 5 speed gearbox is the basis for this brand new racing formula. The entire inlet and exhaust tract remains standard and no modifications are allowed to the basic engine.

This all alloy 4-cylinder water-cooled engine developed in the early 1980's supplies a healthy 90 BHP @ 8,000 RPM. With a maximum rev limit of some 8,600 RPM and gearing to suit, the right car powered by this engine will be capable of some seriously quick lap times.

They have that car; designed and built in house using many innovative features and all the experience they have gained over the years from running a successful racing team.

The Scholar 983S

The engine in the Scholar 983S is traditionally mounted in the front of the car.

This car is a pre-production prototype, built as a development of the existing Scholar 983F project.

Once they have gained some valuable racing mileage with this car in the Sports 1000 series the intention is to offer production models of this car in various stages of build.

Production

Their intention is to offer the production Scholar 983S and 983SR in several forms, from a basic Bronze welded tubular space frame chassis, through a rolling chassis option complete with all wishbones and suspension components, to a fully panelled racing sports car without engine/gearbox.
