^^^^ my point exactly- these racer teams have given F1 a very rich ,colourful and interesting history and the sport will be the poorer for losing all of them (if it gets to that stage)

If it does go to Merc F1 then its just another 'privateer' name going

Remeber Benetton, Minardi, Arrows,BAR,Brabham,BRM, Cooper,Jordan,Ligier,March,Matra,Prost,Sauber,Stewart,Tyrell?????

Also Shadow, Wolf, Penske (I think they had an F1) Jaguar, Lotus and Alfa Romeo. Benetton was actually something else before it became Benetton. As were some of the others. I am sure there were others that have dropped out as well just in my time of watching F1.

Benneton was Toleman before, there's also Simtek Mastercard Lola, Forti, Brabham, Hesken (iirc), Dome, Gurney, etc. etc.

Simtek & Lola were two separate teams.

Simtek's driving force was Nick Wirth (Now allegedly designing Le Mans cars for Honda) & they breifly spluttered into life in the early 90's before going profoundly broke.

Eric Broadley was the owner of the famous Lola name, but their F1 drive (The last of several) was an even more abject failure. The arrangements they had in place with Mastercard failed to generate any real revenue & the cars themselves were hopeless. The disappeared after only one or two races.

Hesken was actually Heskett, as in son of rajab. Cars wre occassionally good, but the parties have been recorded as being epic.

I puposely left out Jag, Alfa, Lotus becaus of their factory links- just listed some of the 'privateer' teams

I missed a , there, it should have been Simtek, Mastercard Lola. :)

MC Lola didn't even last a race, with the cars being withdrawn prior to qualifing at the AGP due to a lack of funds to pay for the engines.

I couldn't remember if it was Hesken or Heskett, thanks for that.

not the mose interesting qualifying i've ever watched but it should still be a top race... Webber made it into the top ten, but i get the impression that he's light... Ralf is being penalised for an engine change, so everyone moves up a spot

    • That sounds like no chance of even importing one for road registering then Now I see why Duncan wants to check LHD rules for Targa...   I wonder how "bolt in" the AWD would be if you got one imported from the US and swapped it to an AUD one
    • Not to mention they drive like a bucket of bolts! yuck!
    • Ha ha ha, that's fair mate! We have the crackhead dogs now. Mainly because the missus wants the crazy dogs while she still has the energy and capacity to be able to keep up with them! Ha ha our current two are both Working GSD, there brothers and sisters (from the same litters) are in Police, Corrective Services, and I believe one did end up in defence force too. They're wild and fun, yet right now, both curled up asleep on the lounge room floor while we watch some TV. Mal is very likely the next dog (unless I get my couch potato guardian dog 😛 )   What are your Kitties names? Are you planning some house work, like those high kitty shelves, built in scratching post, and some cat passages from one room to another room?
    • Maine Coone, did look at but to big and fluffy As for performance dogs, we had Mals at work, performance dogs are fun to watch, but, way to much work for this old rooster
