O.K Fongu! Here's a tidbit for you. Minardi was almost prevented from taking part in the 95 French Grand Prix by legal action taken by then Benetton team Chief Flavio Briatore for alleged non payment of leasing fees in 93-94 for the Cosworth Ford HB engine. Briatore had financial interests in the engine supplying company to which the debt was owed. It was speculated at the time that this action was taken because Minardi was then currently suing Mugen Honda for welching on a deal to supply its V-10's to power their car, instead Mugen signed a deal with the Ligier squad. Minardi was foreced to make extensive modifications to their cars in 95 to enable them to run a V8 instead of the Mugen V10.
Briatore apparently hoped Minardi would drop their court case in exchange for him doing the same. (Don't know why he would be concerned about Ligier though. More politics?)
The Minardi transporter and mobile home were actually locked up by authorities for Thursday practice, and only a ruling by a local judge allowed Minardi to race that weekend.
Seems Flav was playing hardcore politics even in 95!

well ligier was owned and run by twr, who were also a big part of benetton at the time, i think. At the end of the year (96) i think twr moved to arrows only. Basically Flavio ran benetton and had a big stake in ligier - which accounts for why the two cars look the same 
Correct me if i'm wrong by the way!

Greg - we got them and they're good. but it'll take a while before anything official comes from the depths of the 95 mod management board :p
i'll have a better look soon, but we might release them as an add on, as not even CSM can compress them.
Does anyone have thousands of really hi res awesome photos (in digital format) from 1995?

I think the visor is white And i think it must be transparent. For me, the texture isn't found.

Guys, having seen the Forti, may I make a suggestion? Make the sidepods a bit thinner in depth. They had one of the thinnest pods in F1 in 1995, and I have a pic if you need further proof.
