There is a problem with both venues on the March 9th date. South Africa has it it's current political unrest, which makes it undesireable. Argentina on the other hand, is still officially at war with Britian. This poses certain political problems with the British teams: Tyrrell, Williams, McLaren, Brabham, Lotus, etc. which is quite a few of the participants! In view of the observations of the Curacao F3000 event, it seems unlikely that F1 will race there. Most of the observations being that the F3000 cars were too powerful for the current circuit. Of course, FISA will change some thing some where along the line... Rich Lantz rll9466@wucec2.UUCP 6060 Pershing Ave #204 St. Louis, MO 63112 (314) 725-3061
