assistant: Some news from around here...........
Ten cylinders and Nicola Larini for Sauber!
(si/flue/rmd) Formula-1-Teams Sauber and Ferrari have both together
announced their contract on Friday afternoon:
Sauber will use Ferarri based V10 engines in 1997 and 1998. The deal will
cost $ 20 Mio. for Sauber- or better: for Petronas.
Ferrari openes a new department in Maranello to work together with Saubers
engine developing team Sauber Petronas Engineering Ltd., directed by
(former) Ferrari-Ingeneer Osamu Goto (Jap/48).
Moreover, Sauber announced 32 old Nicola Larini (I) to partner Johnny
Herbert.
Nicola Larini drove his first F1 race in 1987 for Coloni and 39 further
Grand Prix for Osella, Ligier und Lamborghini until the end of 1991.
As Ferrari test driver (since 1991) he replaced Ivan Capelli twice in 1992
and Jean Alesi in Imola 1994 (2nd place!). In the last two years he
started for Alfa Romeo in DTM and ITC (=touringcars).
Meanwhile...
Tyrrell contracted 24- year-old Jos Verstappen (Netherlands) as teammate
of their Finnish driver Mika Salo, replacing Ukyo Katayama.
Verstappen had his F1 debut in 1994 with Benetton. In the following 31 GPs
he drove for Simtek und Arrows.
New testdriver for Tyrrell will be Toranosuke Takagi (Jap).
Almost all F1 seats are taken now:
Ligier should give Shinji Nakano (Jap) a chance, Grandsigneur Nigel
Mansell is still roumoured to comeback with Jordan.
Minardi - like TWR-Arrows and Ligier on Bridgestone tires - will start
with Giancarlo Fisichella (I) and Tarso Marques (Br), Lola will most
likely will with Tom Kristensen (Denmark) and former Sauber test driver
Norberto Fontana (Arg).
Enjoy the races,
Ralf

Hi Ronald, This message was received by me the other day and I just
wanted to make a comment on this "Jeff Blueridge" individual who has
the mind of a three year old who readdressed this message and added
all his simple profanity. Don't know if he even exists but some action

assistant: Hi Alan,
This is in fact the front part of the full Grand Prix course,
using the same pit lane and first series of curves.  The GP
course continues on where the stock cars made the right hander
back to the front stretch.
The full GP course is 3.6 miles long, and the very farthest
point (the Spoon Curve) is a LONG way from the pits.  When
Road America tried to get a WC race, NASCAR always used the
excuse RA was too long, at 4 miles, and I believe they feel
the same about Suzuka.
BTW, I don't think Suzuka's short course "wanted" to be an
oval nearly as much as the NASCAR boys wished that they could
make it one!! <g>

assistant: If Ferrari is indeed going to supply engines to Sauber, I wonder in
what form they will be. I saw one report that stated that rather than
supplying complete ready-to-race engines, Ferrari will supply in the
engines in kit form with semi-machined castings. Sauber will be respon-
sible for finish machining and final assembly of the engines which they
could do themselves or farm it out to someone like Heini Mader who has
built Cosworth DFV's and BMW M12/13's for several F/1 teams in the past.
It would be interesting to see if indepedant engine tuners could build
better Ferrari engines than the works could build.

I haven't heard/seen anyone on TV refer to NASCAR that way, yet.  If I
ever did, I would stop watching, or at least press the mute button.
Comments like that show their lack of respect and general bias.  And
I'm not a NASCAR fan -- I watch, maybe, 1-2 races a year, and not the
whole way through.
I have to put up with bias in the BBC broadcasts of F1; aka the Damon

assistant: Dick rambled on and on to Alan about NASCAR in Japan on 01 Dec 96
:10:00...
I've talked with a fellow who's been to a couple Selects recently and
he tried to find out where this balloting was - end result was that
he never found it.  Field was inverted anyway, and you may be right
that it's done automatically nowadays.
Just think of what good PR that NASCAR will get out of it.  I also
like to think NASCAR plays above the board as well, though they've
made moves in recent years that have left me scratching my head and
wondering....
I believe the Japanese promoters footed the bill to bring everything
over.  Can't imagine what with the tremendous transportation costs,
putting up and feeding all the crew members and VIPs, and with a
pretty lightly attended race that the promoters made any money on the
venture.
We'll just have to wait and see if they make any changes next year.
Perhaps if that oval track being built north of Tokyo comes to
fruition...
... The nicer I am, the more they think I'm lying.
