GPI suggested the British drivers might be arrested as spies... [0.5 :-) ] Argentian is still probably a much more stable location than South Africa. The weighty factor on South Africa's side is that the race there has become established over the years, and as always, FISA is till in need of some stability in schedules. >In view of the observations of the Curacao F3000 event, it seems unlikely that >F1 will race there.

No location was announced for the April open date; Curacao was my guess, since at that time it's still too cold to race in Europe (at least in Germany and Britain). Japan and New York were rejected by FISA... \tom haapanen watmath!watdcsu!haapanen Im all lost in the Supermarket I can no longer shop happily I came in here for that special offer Guaranteed personality (c) The Clash, 1979
