...and for those of you who have not read this in 'Autosport', the complete press text:

"Ex Formula 1 driver Ricardo Rosset is planning a return to competition in Europe later this year, in the Footwork Arrows he raced in 1996.

The Brazilian made his racing comeback in his domestic GT3 championship last year, finishing runner up in a Ford GT. Now he is eager to return to the cockpit of a F1 car, most likely in the EuroBOSS series, and has bought a Footwork FA17 from a Norwegian owner.

He will entrust preparation to single seater powerhouse Fortec Motorsport, running under the team AJS banner. Fortec owner Richard Dutton used to manage Rosset and ran him to his only British Formula 3 win in 1994.

Dutton said: "He's going to come over once a year to run it in whatever category he can. After not driving for 10 years he surprised himself last year in the GT3 series with how competitive he was, so he's bought the car and he's going to drop it off with us. It will be great fun to work with Ricardo again."

He got nowhere near being competitive let alone winning a race!!

I was being polite.......his engine let go before he could "get up to speed"

His friend however made some cracking F1 car noises as he walked around the track, steering his imaginary car, changing gear.........

Jo was a lovely bloke though.

cannot see Fortec getting the arows a17 working
easy for them to strip rebuild the f1 car but it has semi auto gearbox
so they will need input from F1 perosnel who know the car or throw away the original kit and fit modern system

MMMMMM........

I understood from Roger that 4 cars will be at Dijon tomorrow, I will go and hope to bring back photos and videos.

[Thundersports]

Tony Hansford will be there with his H-engineering Arrows A21.
(Providing they got through the blockade at Calais ok)

[benjabulle]

Short news from Dijon : the Arrows is here, With the Zakspeed and a WSR, other teams couldn't cross the channel due to a strike, they Went to Donington instead.After 2 sessions, not many laps for Tony, the same for the Zakspeed, hopefully the weather is fine. More later.

I should have said the weather WAS fine, it began to rain before the evening first session so back to home for me

First photos :

Hi benjabulle,

Thanks for photos and video.
