Arrows A8-06

1986 Season

The 1986 FIA Formula One World Championship marked the 40th season of FIA Formula One motor racing, spanning sixteen races from Brazil on March 23 to Australia on October 26.

The Arrows A8-BMW F1 car with chassis no 06 is the only one built in 1986, just like the 1985 Arrows A8-05 supplied in B-spec. Chassis 06 is recognizable by its additional cockpit shield.

Initially used as a test car, chassis 06 was later entered in 6 races. Christian Danner drove it at the French Grand Prix at Paul Ricard after issues with his A8-02. A week later, Thierry Boutsen used it at the British Grand Prix at Brands Hatch.

Later in the season, the car raced at Monza and Estoril with Danner, and in the final two rounds in Mexico and Australia with Boutsen. Chassis A8-06, driven by Christian Danner and Thierry Boutsen, have been fully serviced by CRCS and is running in original specification.
