Gabriele Rafanelli has been evaluating the A410, and is likely to continue to do so at Valencia in February. That should be a true test of the car’s potential, and fits in with Klaas Zwart’s plans to have the cars run by (outside) professional teams. Ascari will therefore become more of a manufacturer than a race team.<BR> <BR> Former Team Manager Michael Phillips has accordingly left Ascari, but hopes are high that cars will be run in Europe and North America in 2001. <BR> <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>
