Thank you for all the comments, suggestions, errors etc.
Barry, I noticed I didn't reply to the Soukry question - I had a look, but was unable to find anything but it was only a brief scan.
Unfortunaetly, there have been a spate of deaths both in the family & close friends, so this is causing a few setbacks, but I am now in the UK for a while & hope to complete the Indy 500 once & for all in this time. I will then be doing European F2 championship drivers & I've started to collate data for this.
If all goes well, I will then expand to CART, the IRL & the GP2 series, but this will not be, I would imagine until early 2007. I can probably do the last three quite quickly as most of them are covered elsewhere. That's the plan so far.....................
Anyway, latest updates are now up for your perusal after a gap of a few months - mainly a update but of course with many 2005 seats up for grabs there will be a few more in the running before I leave - but I hope to find some more obscure info in the meantime. Be aware there are two updates - one from Nov & one from Jan.
THANKS
