JULY 3, 1995
Howdy Partner
At the announcement of the factory, Partner F1 said that two engineer from the MGN racing engines company - ThierryÊWalgrave and Norbert Gerard - have been hired to design a new V8 engine and that a British designer will be hired to build a chassis. Belgian Eric Van de Poele has been named as the team's test driver.
Although the project sounds as fanciful as last week's Vanwall revival, the plans should not be dismissed out of hand as the chairman of the Yakoviev aerospace company was present for the launch.
