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MC Lola didn't even last a race, with the cars being withdrawn prior to qualifing at the AGP due to a lack of funds to pay for the engines.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

    • A few small updates since the previous post and lessons. I decided to do a little interior light upgrade on the 110. I quite like the iilumo items, even if they're a bit of a premium over other brands. You'll also note the Stedi Fogs, that will go into the S15 fog lights as I needed to match the bulbs since I got the new ones earlier. I hope they fit as the body is quite a bit longer than your normal bulb.  Annoyingly, I managed to trip the fuse, which normally wouldn't be an issue until I located the fuse. I can't say I've ever come across this. I had lucked out that someone nearby had a spare, but oddly enough Toyota dealerships seem to keep this in stock. I ordered some to keep in my stash and as luck would have it, someone else nearby tripped the same fuse so I passed on the favour.  I also did a little service on the 110 ahead of some additional work coming up. It's been annoying that Goleby's stopped carrying this particular HKS filter for the 110, so now I need to keep them on order from Japan. I also took the opportunity to install a bash plate and number plate riser. The plate riser is such a cheap but nice fix to help really tidy up the car. I'm tempted to now also replace my headlights, on this car. Both items were from Project Aero.    I also needed to replace the rear tyres on the 110, and after trying to get it aligned learnt that I need to replace some bushes in the front end, so that's next.  Closing out this update with a nicer picture as always! 
    • Yeah mate, never miss it.
    • Any going to watch World Time Attack at SMSP this year?
    • Appreciate the correction on the "ground", that will make a huge difference to looking at this. That makes complete sense about AF70/AF71 which is what I had come down to being the issue, one of these. I'll have another look in the ignition wiring when I get a chance next week. I'll also make up a jumper wire for running that AF73 test.  ECU is fine, relay itself is fine, pump harness is fine and the pump itself is fine. I am going to upgrade the Walbro 255 anyway with a DW300 I have since I need to replace the fuel sender and I'm going to upgrade the FPR with my chasebays kit ready for new plenum/injectors/dbw, but I'll get this working first. That's why this is so frustrating.
