[vlc]

Didn't Minardi buy all the Arrows 2-seater F1 cars?

There was a big auction of the TWR assets, there were several posts on PH about it at the time.

One mechanic was running Nick Crossley's Footwork in EuroBOSS, but the cars been sold now

Ascari bought the AX3 3 seater F1 car and renamed it Ascari!

Indy Car team owner bought the engine dept with Eddie Cheever. Cheever then sold his half to Menard and the company is known as "Menard Engine Developements". I am not sure what they do now, but they built and designed the Chevrolet gen 3 engine. However Cosworth then sold GM their design the Gen 4 (known as Chevworth!). I saw an advert in Autosport MED were recruiting more staff.

I think Tom Walkinshaw is still chairman of Gloucester Rugby Club.

TWR were supposed to developing the new Rover 25/45 range. Rover lost out when TWR went bust.
