Although we’ll have to wait for Austria to know more, I think it will give us a significant increase in performance." Those were Jean-Pierre Jarier's words after testing the Lister at Dijon earlier this month.<BR> <BR> For whatever reason, Francois Lafon didn't drive the 2000 championship winner at Dijon, and he didn't get to drive it at the A1-Ring until Saturday morning's first Qualifying session.<BR> <BR> The car was pulled up after 8 laps of the A1-Ring race, with Jarier smelling something burning. The team felt that this a piece of rubber on the exhaust - it fired up and ran perfectly after the race.<BR> <BR> Now it seems that Lafon and Jarier will go back to the ART Viper for the balance of the season.<BR> <BR> <BR> </FONT></TD></TR> </TABLE><BR> </CENTER> <BR><CENTER><font size="1" color="#808080" face="Tahoma">Copyright ©2000-©2023 TotalMotorSport</font></CENTER> </td> </tr> </table> </body>
