Does anyone have any pictures or know of a website (apart from redshoes) of Mansell in a Mondeo in 93 or 98.. I have some in 98 but can't find any in 93, if you have any personal pictures you have taken and can download them I would really appreciate it..

Matt Neal drove for the works Mazda factory team in 1994. However, he had a huge accident at Silverstone which didn't help the cash-strapped team and after the British GP support race Mazda pulled the plug on the operation-Mattie and David Leslie were left in the cold.

Glad you like my site. The pictures are availiable for anyone to use as long it is for their own personal use. If anyone wants larger pictures for wallpaper, e-mail me.
The picture of 'Matt in the Mazda' was taken at the 'World Cup' meeting at Donington Park in 1994.
Unfortunatley this was it's only meeting, it would have been nice to see more of it. Matts only works drive was for Mazda during 1994 when his was a team mate to David Leslie.
The main problem with the team was that it tried to run two cars on the same budget that it competed with in 1993 when they ran the 'Rhubarb and Custard' machine for Patrick Watts.
I will be updating my site soon in preparation for when the season starts.
Peter.S

You can't totally blame Mazda's BTCC pullout on Matt Neal's single crash. The parent company wasn't in terribly good financial shape by 93 and '94. Didn't Ford take partial ownership at about then?? When times aren't good, time to cut back on expenses. Ditto for Honda's pullout in F1. Now that their financial outlook is more stable, you can see them return to F1. Ditto for Toyota--their financial outlook is better.
If you keep on spending when you have no money like Nissan did with LeMans, you're just going to go broke faster?
