No news in this case means bad news?  There have been only minor
changes on the website since Issue 99.  There were some updates to
the News & Rumour sections with issues 100-102 being produced in the
HTML files but these do not carry the copywrite permission included
with the distributed copies of the News and as a result I am not
prepared to copy them to Fido.
I will continue to poke around - perhaps there is another freely
distributable resource that I can find.  Anyone else have any ideas?
There is some stuff to chew over I guess:
BAT, Villenenue and Tyrrel ... nine years maximum of tobacco
advertising in the EU... SPA (Belgium) race on..off...on...??
ditto French GP... Goodyear leaves F-1...Is F-1 a spent force?...
...Imperial Tobacco in Canada announcing that their sponsorship of
all [cultural] events will end in 1998 [Player's Racing -
ie. Forsythe/Moore/Carpentier/Godin et al]... As BAT owns 42% of
IMASCO [Imperial Tobacco - Players] what is the connection between
Forsythe and Tyrell in the future - is the CART series the "farm
team" ...J.J.Lehto to Hogan Racing... What about Paul Tracy...
...Can anyone explain what is happening with the Daytona 24/Sebring
12 races [I believe that there has been some change between IMSA(?)
and SCCA and one of the other governing bodies which has squeezed
out someone called Evans but I can't figure it all out] ....
...There has been some talk about the revitalizing of the CanAm
series that may be tied into the above... anyone? [I was at the
first CanAm race here in Edmonton in 1968 - don't think that there
is/was a sound to compare with the first lap of that race - 25-30
7 litre v8's flat out down the main straight...and I know that that
is not coming back...(Monaco was like a tunnel full of chainsaws by
comparison - memorable but much different)...]
...Is the IRL a spent force? ...Has AJ hired a furriner?...

assistant: -On 12-08-97, Ian Campbell was conversing with All
discussing F-1 News Update:
I can't explain it all, but IMSA went away earlier this year, bought by
(I think) Andy Evans and renamed Professional Sports Car Association or
something similar.  Latest I heard, this group is being sold by Evans
because some other people in the auto racing field do not feel Evans is
doing a good job in his direction of road racing.  Rumor is that Bill
France, Jr. and Roger Penske were involved.

assistant: Hello Martin:
 Do you think that Tracy can learn the discipline that Barry Green will
 expect - Villeneuve and Green seemed to be a good fit but Villenueve is
 much more cerebral and contained than Tracy - or has his time at Penske
 and Newman/Haas doomed him?  Certainly he cannot continue to be as hard
 on the iron as he has been.  Most of the talk around and about has
 focused around Penske's "blunder" and Tracy's ego/temper/weight(!!).  I
 think that someone with a clearer vision is operating here...
 What is even more interesting is the connection between Green and Forsythe
 through their sponsors - Kool is a Brown & Williamson brand and B&W is the
 American operation of B.A.T. Industries PLC, just as Players is a brand
 of Imasco and Imasco is the Canadian affiliate of B.A.T. In effect a single
 primary sponsor with a four car team and -imagine that- no American driver.
 Does Green have an Indy Lights or F Atlantic team and who is on the farm?
 Kool/Toyota are the joint sponsors of the F Atlantic series are they not?
 Pollock of BAT F-1 represents Franchitti - what about the others?  Wouldn't
 surprise me to find a few more on the management roster.

I have no clue how Tracy will do with Team Kool Green, we'll have to see if
his performance improves with the new ride.
I haven't followed the Indy Lights series recently, but I read on the web
that Team Kool Green has fielded three cars this season for Chris Simmons,
Mark Hotchkis and Naoki Hattori. I don't believe the team fields any car in
the Atlantic Championship, but Kool is indeed the co-title sponsor of the
series.

assistant: Hi All,
            Senna's Death Trial - The Verdict
16 December 1997 - The six people on trial for the death of
Brazilian driver Ayrton Senna have all been found not guilty of
his death. They are: Frank Williams, Patrick Head and Adrian
Newey (the two technicians of the Williams team who had designed
and carried out the modifications to the steering column),
Roland Bruynseraede (the FIA inspector who had approved the
Imola track for racing), Federico Bendinelli and Giorgio Poggi
(members of the management of the Imola circuit).
Three years after the death of Senna the trial is over. The
trial ran from February and has generated lots of attention and
harsh controversy, including a threat from members of FIA to
exclude the Italian circuits from hosting F1 GPs and all other
types of motor racing competitions over which FIA have control.

Well we got the NASCAR_CONTEST echo backboned in record time.  So now all
you have to do is send your ALLFIX or AREAFIX or whatever in to your FEED
now to turn it on.  It may take a few days for all the HUBS to get it
turned on but it should be available real soon as it was added to the
backbone today.  Soon as it gets turned on I will start posting the rules
for the contest and we will have a short discussion on whether any of the
rules need to be changed before the contest starts.  Also, I have a .wcx
program I wrote for Wildcat 4.20 so your users can join the contest from
the main menu.  I would like to add a little more to the program if anyone
else is a Wildcat 4.20 sysop more prolific in .wcx programming than I am.
But it will be available to all Wildcat sysops and I will send it out over
the new Wildcat FDN also.  So get ready the contest starts in February with
the first race at Daytona. :)

Write your reply.

assistant: Hello Ian,
let me first thank you for posting the
again.
Now some news I've come accross:
Meanwhile, the D.A. has dropped the case.
There was a test drive in the old year already. The car was presented in
carbon fibre black, with no red colour- which is a shame of its own: No
Ferrari was ever seen on a track in another colour than red!
After 4 laps, statics influenced the electronics of the gear box. At a
speed of more than 200 km/h, it shifted into reverse gear. The result was
of course a serious damage that stopped the testing session.
The official launch was some days ago. The car doesn't look much different
on the first view, which may be a result of using the old rear wings (will
be changed). The side boxes are much smaller now, with much smaller inlets
for the coolers.
The model now is called F300.
And Minardi has announced young argentinian Esteban Tuero as their second
driver
Im looking forward to the races,
Ralf

Write your reply.

assistant: Ah, you forget the US GP in 1964. The NART team year. And I assume you
mean no factory F1 Ferrari. In the old days Ferraris were regularly
campaigned in all sorts of private colors by private entrants, either in
sports cars or in old GP equipment,( before the commendetore had the
financial clout to destroy older equipment rather than sell it off).
And if Moss hadn't had his grand shunt in '62 the deal had already been
done to have Rob Walker enter private Ferraris for Sterling, in Walker
team colors. Just think of how that might have changed the history of GP
racing in the mid to late 60's.
All in all it's always been my observation that Ferrari "tradition" is
somthing that Enzo sold to the public, not somthing that he took any
real notice of himself.
