This Footwork–Arrows car had a disastrious 1991 season. Firstly it couldn’t fit its engine, the Porsche 3512 3.5 V12, but even when it did it was heavy, slow, and unreliable. By mid-season the team redesigned the chassis to fit a Hart-prepared Cosworth-Ford DFR V8 engine, but that only led to a season high 10th-place finish in the Japanese Grand Prix.
First seen in sim racing with F1GP (1992).

iGP have updated iGP Manager with some new features, race simulation updates, staff updates and improvements to both the Web and client user interfaces. Check out the changelog below:
New! Pit crew
The Pit Crew determines the speed and reliability of your pit stops, making them a vital part of a race event.
New features include:
Variable pit stop times in races based on your crew’s abilities, influencing the speed and reliability of pit stops.
Pit Crew Training, a new area of the training page, alongside driver training
New skills and dynamics to manage such as pit crew atrophy, performance variance and morale.Racing revamp
Improved the situation of cars ‘bouncing’ when trying to overtake.
Greatly increased the chances of overtake between cars that have a significant difference of speed (due to car design + driver, difference of tyre pace (compound/wear) or push level management pace advantage.
Increased dirty air, in order to reduce the chance of creation of long train during the race. Now cars breaking up from the group will have a chance to open some gap.
Increased the car max speed to 370 KPH.
Slipstream rework: higher impact at closer distance.
Improved chances to block a car using PL3 (this is well balanced, do not expect being able to block a car if your pace is much slower).Fixes and improvements
