I eliminated a webpage with no relation with the original team. The website was about two guys who painted their go carts with the old team colors. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 65.8.17.192 (talk) 02:44, 25 April 2009 (UTC)

I added "In its checkered history, Arrows set the unenviable record of 356 races without a win through the 2001 season." Haven't done the math thru their folding up. Maybe someone can...? Trekphiler 06:39, 8 December 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Arrows Grand Prix International section

So far, so good. Thank you for starting the article on this interesting team.

In the Arrows Grand Prix International section, however, I became a bit confused. I initially came to the page looking for information about the team's history. So when it was stated that Patrese was banned from racing in America in 1978, but then that he scored the team's first pole position in 1981, I became a little confused. I don't know the answer, so if someone who is more knowledgeable about this topic could clarify this a little further in the article it would be very helpful.

otherwise, great work.

Patrese was only banned from the very next race, the 1978 US Grand Prix. I've clarified the text. Thanks for picking that up. DH85868993 (talk) 03:31, 5 February 2008 (UTC)

Wow, I'm surprised at the turnaround. Again, great work. Thanks for the clarification. Sometimes those things seem obvious when you know the topic.  :-)

[edit] Super Aguri connection

I found the confirmation of some information I was searching for on the Super Aguri F1 article.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Super_Aguri

2006 In 2006, the cars were powered by Honda engines (RA806E 2.4 V8), and used Bridgestone tyres. The chassis, SA05, was based on the 2002 Arrows A23, bought from ex-Minardi principal Paul Stoddart who purchased them when the Arrows team went into receivership.

I'll try to come back to work this into the Arrows article somehow. I think it is very relevant, especially to connect the team to a potentially current squad. Feel free to use this information as you like, of course. I will be more than happy to see someone else incorporate this into the Arrows article.

It's already sort of covered in the "Further use of Arrows chassis" section at the bottom of the article (although admittedly it doesn't specifically mention the A23). Perhaps that section needs to be moved above the results table to make it more visible. DH85868993 (talk) 04:44, 5 February 2008 (UTC)
