1962 Brussels Grand Prix
The 1962 Brussels Grand Prix was a motor race run to Formula One rules, held on 1 April 1962 at Heysel Park, Belgium. The race was run in three heats of 22 laps each and the results were aggregated. The race was won by Belgian driver Willy Mairesse in a Ferrari 156. The course was somewhat altered over previous years, as part of the area that had held spectators was now in commercial use. This was the debut for BRM's new V8 engine, as well as the first race for the upgraded Coventry-Climax V8 used in Jim Clark's Lotus.[1]

gollark: Anyway, trouble is that from what I know of modding making glowier-than-15 things is very hard because the lighting system is evil.
gollark: You should try and use the oredict name, though.
gollark: From fusion reactors.
gollark: Yes.
