Does Honda :
-rent the mexican track before official practice to get the car better prepared to the altitude than opponents ?
-send a Japanese team in Mexico one month before to practice ?
-Honda reproduced oxygen rarefied conditions in the motor testing department in Japan ?
What is the true from false of these statements ?

it will not be a problem if the price was in cash .But the prize is a free ticket for the GP de France at Magny Cours ...
there was 30 questions to answer , and I confess I needed help for 4 questions, where I couldn t find the answer in my books, mags, or immediate memory .So I try to find a way to find them .
and for the question above, it is rather difficult to see what could be the most realistic (??)
and Atlas Bulletin Board is one of the most valuable source..
anyway, if I won the prize , that s courteous to let you know .

Second prize is presumably two tickets. I think in this case assistance isn't morally objectionable; I can think of a few worse things in racing than attend an F1 race at Magny-Cours, but most of them involve British F3. ;P

Ah! Two things to say here. I'm an eejit. And it was very late at night.
PS. I've edited the post. Do you think anyone will notice?

Wasn't he the team mate of Richie Ginthum at Honda ?

During most of the season following a disastrous Monaco debut the Honda RA272 was extremely quick but prone to losing power as the races wore on and the engines heated up. Paradoxically in Mexico where all the other runners traditionally lost power due to the high altitude (c7000 feet) the Hondas were not so badly affected and apparently did not lose power or heat up.
No doubt others better qualified will know why.

Goodyear's first F1 win. They did pretty well the next two seasons, as well.

His son drove Indy last sunday:
"Lap 2: YELLOW. Teammates#92 Buckner and #91 Chesson make contact in Turn 2. #92 Buckner does a full-spin and collects #91 Chesson. Both cars make contact with the SAFER Barrier. There is moderate damage to the front and left-rear of #92 Buckner. There is moderate front-end damage to #91 Chesson. Both drivers climb from their car without assistance."
