assistant: Hello F1 Fans,
this time it is Formula One Qualifying, thoughts and comments (F1 QTC)...
As we all kwnow, one of the most important things for a F1 driver's career
is to be faster than his teammate.
Let's take a look on this year's qualifying sheets (after Canada's Qual.):
Arrows:   Hill 7 - Diniz 0
Williams: Villeneuve 6 - Frentzen 1
Ferrari:  Schumacher 7 - Irvine 0
Benetton: Alesi 4 - Berger 2
          Alesi 1 - Wurz* 1             *replaced Berger at GP Canada
McLaren:  Hakkinen 2 - Coulthard 5
Jordan:   Schumacher II 3 - Fisichella 4
Prost:    Panis 7 - Nakano 0
Sauber:   Herbert 2 - Morbidelli* 0     *repalced Larini from GP Spain on
          Herbert 5 - Larini 0
Tyrrell:  Verstappen 3 - Salo 4
Minardi:  Katayama 1 - Trulli 6
Stewart:  Barrichello 7 - Magnussen 0
Frentzen is weaker then most have thought- or is Villeneve just that
strong?
I wonder if Berger will retire next year, though he finished 2nd in
Argentina.
Nakano is still at Prost even with his poor results not only in
qualifiying. It's definetly an advantage to be the son- in - law of Mr.
Honda, who supplies the Mugen/Honda engines!
Magnussen, who dominated the F3000 and proved to be quick in his two
McLaren drives, still has his problems.
Enjoy the races,
Ralf

        According to Gale Force F1 and the Journal de Montreal, Panis has
sustained multiple fractures to both his legs and will likely miss the rest
of this season. He is in stable condition and will be spending a few more
days at Sacre-Coeur Hospital before he can be relocated to a European
hospital.

Write your reply.

assistant: It looked worse than it actually is: last information is that Panis just
broke his legs. F1 cars with their fiber carbon chassis provide a lot of
safety these days.
The problem was that Panis' got under the tyre stack with his front car
and pusched them away. Ironically, his crash would have been milder if
threre were no tyres at all, because he would have just slid along the
wall then.
His accident will force Panis to take a break for 3- 4 weeks, so he won't
be able to start at his home Grand Prix at Magny Cours in a fourtnight.
That's a pity because Panis and the whole Prost team have invested so much
time and energy into promising track times there.
I wonder who will replace Panis there, as Prost's test driver Franck
Lagroce hasn't got the requiered FIA racing license (yet).
Enjoy the races,
Ralf

My result posting was not quite correct this time. The classification was
OK, but time differences were wrong. Also there are indeed less drivers

I couldn't see the official FIA rating this time due to after race
interwievs and my TV station broadcasted their own (wrong) classification
later.

Write your reply.

assistant: Hello F1 fans,
Another injury in Formula One:
Gianni Morbidelli (Sauber-Petronas) crashed into a concrete wall at a
speed of 240 km/h while practicing at Magny Cours (France) on Thursday.
With a broken arm, won't start at the French GP next weekend (29th) and
will be replaced by young German driver Joerg Mueller.
Moreover, FIA officials found some cracks in Morbidelli's carbon fibre
monocoque cockpit. These over $ 100.000 expensive car parts were thought
to be undestoyable as they were tested at speeds up to 300 km/h.
Drivers' organisation's chairman Michael Schumacher is very concerned
about these new facts, especially because also Panis' cockpit broke during
his accident at the Canadian GP last weekend.

assistant: Hi Roy
I was reading through some old mail and you have probably got a answer
to this, but I'll go ahead anyway :)
I'm on a CASCAR crew in Ontario and we run a FORD. Cascar late models
are a fiberglass bodied tube chassis racecar with a stock type front
clip, usually from a camaro. Each brand of car has that manfacturers
engine which in the case of the Avenger, is a 360 V8. This year Chrysler
Canada is sponsering the Cascar Super Series again and is giving a
Exte4nded cab dually to the points leader.
Cascar has a East and a West series. In the East the biggest track we
race on is a  5/8 oval down to a 1/4. As far as I know the road course
has been dropped and there are no dirt track events that I know of.
Cascar also races in Calgary on a weekly basis.
Hope this clears some things up for you.

You know, there was a time when if one got an "advantage" over the other,
they'd improve their own cars.. like when Chevy got the 18 degree heads and
Fords were slammed to the back of the bus... then Robert Yates came along and
gave Ford teams the "Yates" head..  and the momentum shifted the other way..
Lessee here.. if the Ford and Chevrolets both have 358 CI engines with 14:1

better economy out of the engine without blowing it up.. as opposed to crying
to NASCAR about the Chevies and their better economy...
