Arrows A8

Automobiles

The Arrows A8 was a Formula One car designed by Dave Wass, which the Arrows team raced in the 1985 and 1986 seasons. It had a carbon-composite tub with the turbocharged BMW M12 engine behind it, maintained by Heini Mader, and five cars were built for 1985. Its best result came at the 1985 San Marino Grand Prix, where Thierry Boutsen finished third on the road and was moved up to second when the winner Alain Prost was disqualified for being underweight. The A8 scored 14 points in 1985, placing Arrows eighth in the Constructors' Championship. The team kept it for 1986 after the new A9 failed, and Christian Danner's single point in Austria left Arrows tenth.
