Fun fact: In the portuguese round, after the engine cover flew off, the team knew that as the car didn't exit the pitlane the FIA would consider that they hadn't taken part on the pre qualy session, which would result on a 200.000$ fine. The team knew that in order to avoid that fine, they just had to exit the pit lane. So, as they noticed that the pit lane on Estoril was downhill, they decided to push the car until it crossed the traffic light. Genius moment

There should be a wooden spoon championship for constructors like Life, Andrea Moda, MasterCard Lola, Forti and Hispania. 5 mini races at the abandoned Valencia circuit. Yuji Ide waves the chequered flag and Taki Inoue drives the safety car. Latifi hands out the trophies. The whole works.

To be fair, Latifi is a league ahead of all the other names mentioned. The standard is just so high these days that he looked weak in comparison, but he not only qualified for every one of his races, he actually scored points, which is more than hundreds of entrants have managed. I nominate in his place Claudio Langes, record holder of most attempts to pre-qualify for a race without succeeding.

Just a TLDR refresher for the brabham siblings: Geoff Brabham: 4-time IMSA Sportscar champion, and 24 hours of Le-Mans and Bathurst 1000 winner. David Brabham: Japan Super GT Champion, Bathurst 1000 winner, 4-time sebring 12 hour (class) winner, 5 time Le-Mans winner including one overall win. Gary Brabham: one sebring 12 hour win by virtue of being carried by his brother Geoff, did dirty stuff involving younglings and was disowned by his entire family.

A quick bit of "research" (read: Wikipedia) points out that his... let's call them "crimes", happened about 10 years after Life was no longer... y'know... alive. So I presume they had no clue.

A few other fun Life facts: - Its recorded top speed was ~140mph. - Its designer washed his hands of it because the carbon moulding had been done so poorly it visibly twisted and warped at speed. - its only timed lap around Imola was so slow it is feasibly possible someone could beat it on a bicycle. - One of its many breakdowns was due to the team not putting oil in it.

Here's a hot take, i believe the 1998 Prost AP01 to be the worst car package in F1 history. They had names like Jenkins and Barnard on the design team even if dudot was technical director for frenchie political reasons. They had a promising 1997 season thanks to being a knockoff Benetton with Bridgestone and a mugen, two solid drivers in Trulli and Panis and Alain Prost running it with the promise of support from Jacques Chirac. Peugeot spent 7 years building hand grenades that occasionally made decent power levels and drove Jordan's technical department to distraction and spent more time causing arguments than committing to a development plan and by the time Alain got them to do business with him they'd given up on being good at anything. Life had no weight of expectation on them, an ex Ferrari engine designer from duldrum era Ferrari and a chassis disowned by it's creator so their WOAT title was just handed to them. Prost had to fight like a fucking champion to wind up with the disappointing shitstorm that he got

Guaranteed support from government and state-owned companies made them complacent - why spent extra efforts to be good if you can finish the season pointless AND still got paid the same? 3.

I believe Prost said that his wage bills were the same as McLaren's with half the staff when he was shutting it all down in 2001, I don't know if anyone ever ran the numbers but it sounds about right.

For perspective, a 7m16s lap around the then 5.04km Imola circuit works out to just under 11.6 metres per second, or about 26mph (42kph). That's 2mph slower than Usain Bolt ran his Olympic 100m final, and less than one-fifth of the speed the frontrunners were pulling, Senna's pole lap *averaging* a little over 134mph. No wonder Giacomelli was terrified - in a car with abnormally low cockpit sides and a history of failing crash tests, that's like driving a mobility scooter in the fast lane of a motorway for three miles and praying nobody hits you...

I love stuff on Life Racing Engines! Great piece as always Josh! There's a fabulous pic floating around on the net at Portugal pre qualifying getting ready to roll out with 2 beautiful 3 inch strips of red duct tape (or "helicopter tape" for the UK conversion) holding the engine cover or bonnet down with all of their might. It is gorgeous. If only the USSR could have designed a slightly stronger adhesive that could withstand the immense pressures of a modern formula one car's aerodynamic strains.... or a mild sneeze from across the room.... Who knows? We might have seen a big red flag be placed on the sun by now as the Soviet money was supposed to also include USSR's secret advanced metals and composites to be used in their space exploration division. I pray this team will be on the entry list every year. Vita has even said in recent interviews you may NOT have seen the last of the name Life Racing Engines in Formula 1! He's even working on a HYPERCAR! Surely a threat to win Lemans 24 hours and many more endurance championships for years to come! Come on commies! The.world NEEDS this to happen! Pic-Life > Andretti-Cadillac any day of the week! And also FREE THE PHOENIX/D.A.R.T.-ARROWS/HARTs FROM MALAYSIAN CUSTOMS TYRANNY! Let the Phart-Hart TWRAP-04x3 Seaters race!

710HP for the 1990 Honda V10 is generous, a lot of power figures from this era are that are shared as fact these days are overstated by 30 - 70HP. A more likely figure is 680 - 690HP. Next year's V12 started around 715 and by the end of the year was putting out about 730HP.

oh and Andrea Moda basically trying to kill poor old Roberto Moreno and Perry McCarthy repeatedly because they couldnt afford to one run car let alone two, and therefore had to concentrate all the money they DIDNT have into the driver bringing in the most money.... which wasnt much to begin with.... because Andrea Moda. Very very sexy cars tho from them and Fondmetal.

VW also had a "W" engine (actually a VR) in its Pheaton. It leakes oil that murica would start to invade it. It needs 12 l of fresh oil every 15k km or 12 months. Internal recommandation is half the time for a longer life since this engine has terrible heat and load distribution. (Wich is also why its not a real W but a VR type.)

The engine always gets the stick but the chassis must have been an absolute dog because John Judd's engines were usually pretty decent little motors considering the budget and resources he was working with. I don't understand how the car didn't go appreciably faster in the one event where they had the Judd engine installed properly, except if the chassis was so borked that you could have put a Renault in there and gotten nowhere.

Wasnt the Life Garage in which they built the cars rented ? Wasnt the engine design something drawn in the early 80´s ? Didnt Gary Brabham came initial with Judd Engines, but they declined as the wanted to use there own engines ??? Why are no mentions about the asymmetrical air intake, which rendered 1/3 of the engine useless (it overheated like hell).

Regulations and standards were very relaxed back then. I like some aspects of this, but the Life car was pretty much like a different weaker category car.
