I don't know where I should open that thread, I think it's TNF. The former F1-driver Satoru Nakajima has an owen racing team in the F-Nippon, the Nakajima Racing team. I hope to geht more infos about the team, the persons behind the and perhaps a few pictures (Barilla in the Nakajima Lola Honda, Nakano, Takagi, Firman, Lotterer). The official site is in Japanese, and I don't know the language very well...

http://fndc.hp.infos...o.jp/fndce.html is fellow TNFer Tooru Kitajima's website, here you should find all that you need, and it's in English, too! Note also that Nakajima ran an F3 team in the years 1989, 1992, 1994, 1996-99 and perhaps also later - you may want to check Tooru's F3 database as well.
