Hey 24.126.206.159 - do you have a source for the "von?" Google turns up zero hits for "Andreas Nikolaus von Lauda" so for now I'm going to delete it. Rdsmith4 12:27, 20 Jul 2004 (UTC)

[edit] Fan Car

This one crops up a lot. The Fan car was not banned. Ecclestone merely withdrew it, to save everyone the expense and bother of banning it. Plus that meant that Lauda and Brabham kept the 10 points from Anderstorp. The regulations were then changed before the 1979 season which closed the loop hole Gordon Murray had exploited. I'd suggest maybe re editing the article to read (the fan car) "Was withdrown befour it could be banned". Djarra 18:04, 12 July 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Arrow Emblem Grand Prix no Taka

Does anyone remember details about Niki Lauda's appearance on Toei's 1997 anime "Arrow Emblem Grand Prix no Taka"?

The protagonist, Takaya Torodoki/Tony Bronson, gets injured in a car race accident and Niki Lauda goes to visit Takaya in order to encourage him to keep racing, with his own experience.

I think Niki Lauda (whose character's name has been changed in some translations of the anime) was pictured with his face bandaged in the anime.

[edit] DNP / WD

The reason WD isn't on the template is that we can't be can't be consistent about withdrawals across the board. Some guys withdrew from GPs and it was covered up as mechanical failure etc, or vice versa - the point being we can't guarantee in all cases that "WD" is the correct term to use, so we don't use it, even in cases like this one where we know that Lauda pulled out of his own accord. At least I believe that to be the reasoning behind it. Anyway, like the reasons for an absence, the actual reasons for not practicing / not starting / not qualifying or for retiring are beyond the scope of the table, and are best explained in the article body. So we just have DNP, DNS, DNQ and Ret. Like for the 2005 United States Grand Prix, the term used for the guys who pulled out is "DNS" not, "WD". Bretonbanquet 17:50, 14 September 2006 (UTC)
