Racing history
After using the 861 for the first race in Brazil, the 871 made its debut in Brundle's hands at the San Marino Grand Prix where he qualified 15th and scored 2 points for finishing 5th.[3] This happened to be the only time that Zakspeed would ever score a point during their time in Formula One.
The 871 was replaced for the 1988 season by the team's last turbo car, the Zakspeed 881 which would be again powered by the team's own turbocharged engine.
