Arrows just simply announced their return for 2003
The 2002 season was obviously a bizarre year for Orange Arrows, or better said for Tom Walkinshaw. Prost retired after the 2001 season and Walkinshaw with his buddy Nickerson were after the assets of the team to form a “new” team named Phoenix Grand Prix. During the year it became clear that Orange Arrows was […]

MICHAEL SCHUMACHER ENTRA NELLA STORIA
Io me la ricordo molto bene quella notte fra il 7 e l’8 ottobre. Credo che molti di noi non dormirono per quanto agitati e tesi.

Could March F1 have survived in 1993?
Somehow, around this time the topic March F1, Jan Lammers and Henny Vollenberg seems to become a topic again to discuss. There is always the what if question we can’t answer. If the needed funds were arranged in the winter of 1992/1993 would stay survived? Henny Vollenberg went beyond anything to save the team. Jan […]
The lucky ones rumoured to drive for March in 1993
Henny Vollenberg saved the March team when he purchased it in 1992.

It is April 2000, when I walked with my father into the local computer store. To collect our new computer, a Pentium 3 with 128MB, a Radeon ATI 256 graphics card and an IDE disk with 40GB!
