Arrows in action at Spa-Franchorchamps?

LucaBadoer · 25 Aug 2002, 14:11 (Ref:365598)

Have the said whether or not they'll be racing at Spa?

*formula3* · 25 Aug 2002, 14:13 (Ref:365600)

well, i don´t know, they were in talk with Craig Pollock and i hope he will travell with arrows to Spa

kdr · 25 Aug 2002, 14:34 (Ref:365604)

they do one, skip one, do one, skip one...till their problem is resolved.

steve nielsen · 25 Aug 2002, 14:45 (Ref:365606)

they won't go until the team is sold, the trucks have to leave Leafield by tuesday or they won't make it in time, so whe'll see............

I just hope that when the team is sold TW will be history!

bart_jacobs · 25 Aug 2002, 15:55 (Ref:365617)

I hope they will be their ! I payed for 22 cars,and i will see 22 cars !I just hope they leave Verstappen at home,or I will see way to many Jos the Boss flags...

If they do race at Spa. Who will be in the cars?

Pollock said he would get rid of Bernoldi if he takes control. Can a team change both drivers in a season?

*formula3* · 25 Aug 2002, 18:02 (Ref:365649)

yes, they can change, i think it´s possible to have 3 different drivers in car1 and two different in car2 or the other way around, i cant remember
however , I hope that Craig Pollock will take over arrows, i don´t care about the drivers...

Nicholas · 25 Aug 2002, 18:12 (Ref:365658)

I believe a certain hex may be to blame...

The usual idiot decisions we have been acustomed to with Pollock, the last thing they need is to drop Bernoldi who has proven to be a useful driver and he pays them for the privlege, you sense JV is going to fall for the old story Pollock told him in 98 again, its a bit like going back to an Ex partner who says this time will be different when it never is..

Common guys, be fair, I put a hex on TW's hair and his libido;

I never pointed the bone at Arrows

Nevertheless, it will be interesting to see who will drive if and when Arrows is finally sold. Let's keep this topic on the back burner.

well apparantly they haven't left the factory and they don't know whether or not they'll be competing this year....

Looks like another teams gone to me.

I hope thats the racing track and not the local corner shop . ( uk joke )

Super Tourer · 28 Aug 2002, 11:39 (Ref:367340)

Latest I heard is they are not competing. TW is still claiming force majeure with the FIA.

Reason they are unable to race - they haven't paid cossie for the engines, if they did find the money to pay them the fear is that other creditors will swoop in with winding up orders to try and get something out of it.

On top of this they cannot risk any damage to cars or equipment whilst a sale is on-going, as it would dimish their asset value.

The feeling is that Arrows may eventually end up in receivership, possibly in early September. This would put an administrator in charge and relieve TW of control, which may bang some head's together and push any serious parties into making a sale happen or forget it - in which case I guess it would be liquidated a la Prost.

From Autosport.com

Team's transporters have left for Belgium

Arrows has announced that it will race in this weekend's Belgian Grand Prix after finalising a deal with an 'American investor' to buy the team.

Pollock it is then....

**Peter Mallett** · 28 Aug 2002, 11:46 (Ref:367343)

Pollock's Canadian isn't he?

Super Tourer · 28 Aug 2002, 11:53 (Ref:367352)

OK fair play Peter!

But isn't he the front for the Seagram drinks magnate - who is American?

Sato san · 28 Aug 2002, 11:54 (Ref:367356)

Pollock ???.....No.....he's English i think , even though he lived in Switzerland .

**Peter Mallett** · 28 Aug 2002, 11:58 (Ref:367359)

C'm on guys, this is important. Is he English or American.

BTW. Who's buying Arrows then?

Kex · 28 Aug 2002, 11:58 (Ref:367360)

For some odd reason I thought he was from Scotland. Or at least descended from there.

**Peter Mallett** · 28 Aug 2002, 11:59 (Ref:367362)

Well Scottish then? Any more nationalities?

DNQ · 28 Aug 2002, 12:06 (Ref:367370)

I thought he was from Somalia.

Super Tourer · 28 Aug 2002, 12:31 (Ref:367388)

I guess we need to speculate on driver now.....
