Neptune should be qualifying in the top 10 on the grid
Chris,

It would appear that a number of F3 were converted to Atlantic and perhaps the other way around. I know on Modus, the tubs certainly look to be the same except that the tankage was greater on the Atlantics, but that was just a matter fo putting a 2nd bladder into the LH sponsoon. A lot of the suspension looks the same except at the lower rear under the FT box, where the parallel lower arms replace the reversed wishbones that F3s used. Of course the brakes and g'box are different and I wouldn't be surprised if the Fatl nose was a bit wider to shield the wider front rubber. If you've got the bits, pretty easy to change.

So, what I'm asking is, while you're uncovering FAtl facts, please don't just discard the F3 info, since the cars are based on same tubs etc for the most part. If you don't want to mix them in your files, how about separating them into their own folders and make them available to those of us w/ the lesser formula.
