BMW M1 7.0 - 1983

Mick`s last creation reflected a shift in the fashion in the Donington GT away from saloon-bodied monsters towards GT cars , such as BMW M1s / Lotus Esprits , or at least clones of them. The 1983 and final 1984 seasons Hill ran a BMW M1 clone on a 1975 Lola T400 F5000 chassis with the 7-litre Can Am engine. Now alternating the races with Kevin Riley the team had to settle for second best to the other BMW M1 clone of Jeff Wilson which used a Chevron chassis. There were some very rapid Esprit clones in the class below as the Donington GT reached its pinnacle. 1984 proved to be Mick`s last season racing with the M1 in Donington GT and 4 races in Thundersports.
