  Bristol Taurus: Definition and Links by Encyclopedian.com
The Taurus was developed by adding cylinders to the existing Aqulia design, creating a design that produced just over 1,000 horsepower with very low weight.
Bristol had originally intended to use the Aquila and Perseus as two of its major designs in the 1930s, but the rapid increase in size and speed of aircraft in the 1930s demanded much larger engines than either of these.
Unlike the earlier engines, where the sleeve valve was a new and untried design, the Taurus was fairly well understood and was delivered running at almost the same power it ended with, at 1,015hp.

The 44-year-old Fenton, Mo., native has been coming to Bristol for over 20 years, starting in the early stages of his racing career when he was trying to make a name for himself and display his driving talent.

The key for Wallace at Bristol, it seems, is his ability to not only master the high-banked turns, but just skipping across Bristol's concrete racing surface, one that seems to give other drivers a much harder time.
