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).

Check out their news item:
Papyrus Design Group, a division of Sierra On-Line, recently extended its licensing agreement with CART (Championship Auto Racing Teams). Having secured the right to use the CART name and logos through the year 2003, Papyrus will develop a new CART sim (so far unnamed), scheduled for release in spring 1999.
Besides the recently released CART Racing (originally titled IndyCar Racing II), Papyrus has produced the NASCAR series and is currently at work on NASCAR Racing 3 and Grand Prix Legends.
The current CART Racing covers the same ground as the 1995 CART World Series Championship, using the same courses (in locales such as the United States, Canada, Brazil, and Japan), cars, drivers (such as Al Unser Jr., Bobby Rahal, and Paul Tracy), sponsors, and even billboards. The cars resemble actual CART racers, which have 850-horsepower engines and can attain speeds of more than 200 miles per hour.
To whet the road-hungry appetites of sim racers, Sierra is selling CART Racing for a suggested price of $29.95, and is even throwing in a $10 mail-in rebate with the games currently being shipped.
