Its possible I'm remembering this incorrectly (or I'm going mad) but I've got a memory from the mid/late 90s of an incident in Monaco where one of the yellow liveried Forti cars spun at the corner before the tunnel, the car then rolled backwards, partially in between two barriers, the car then beached and the marshalls had a bit of a struggle to free it.
Does anyone remember this?

And at some Kart circuit ooop north. It must have been very underwhelming to discover that you F1 experience is in a Forti at a Kart circuit...........That car (or one very similar to it) ended up at Aintree Racing Drivers School as the Formula One Experience!

Pardon me, Sir; I'm not sure that I care for the cut of your jib.

I think you're thinking of an incident involving Ricardo Rosset in the Tyrrell.

The Forti incident is one of my earliest F1 memories; from my recollection, Badoer's car was left abandoned just before the entrance of the tunnel.

Ive often thought of doing it, mainly because the alternative down at the AGS school is so far away it means 3 days off work. Anyone done the 3 sisters Forti experience? I udnerstand they used to run at Rockingham, shame that stopped.

From what I have heard and read you really are better off spending the extra time/money on the AGS experience. It's something you'll probarely only do once so you want to do it properly. The AGS school has a Jordan, Arrows and a Prost and a proper car circuit so I think it's a no brainer.Ive often thought of doing it, mainly because the alternative down at the AGS school is so far away it means 3 days off work.
