jan bot should be qualifying in the top 10 on the grid
Yesterday was a good day
We knew the car was in the hands of Richsport or Rich motorsport in 2001-2008 in hungary. The car was yellow at the time and the driver was Miklós Polyá. Before they sold the car they respraied it in the current BMW Motorsport colours. There is a photo dokumentation of the respray on their website which still works, allthough the team itself seems to have stopped.

Polyá competed in several hillclimbs and at least one race at the hongaring.
After some searching on the name Polyá and BMW we found this great site:
http://www.euromontagna.com/makes.ph...ke=BMW&type=M3
Here we found our chassis number with a picture of a car!

So chassis FI-005-91 competed, in the hands of Andreas Kövesdan, at two hungaryan hillclimbs. Kövesdan was a hungaryan BMW dealer.
The car was white at that time.
Some more searching for Polyá also reveiled this site of fönix racing in hungary:

If you scroll down to 1997 and 1998 you can see a picture of Miklos Polyá driving a white M3 with purple interior. There was allready some RS sponsoring on the car, which was on our car when it was yellow.

So.
We now know the following periods of this car:
1992: Andreas Kövesdan, 2 hillclimbs in Hungary. Car was white.
1997>1998: Miklós Polyá, also hillclimbs, Fönix racing. Car was white, beginning to turn yellow.
2001>2008: Miklós Polyá, hillclimbs, hungaring, car was yellow and resprayed before selling in BMW Motorsport colours.

There are some black spots in the history and a big question is if the car was on its first outing in 1992 or that it had a life before this.

We will try to contact mister Kövesdan and hear if he knows a bit more about the car.
