Honda-Greek conection?

[Mr.S]

I keep hearing something about a project called Athena from Honda, does anyone know what it is?

[enemy-ace]

It's a new front suspension system designed by the Honda engineers for BAR. Villeneuve has given it good reviews thus far, but it won't be run on this years chassis. Another reason why JV would be foolish to leave BAR just yet. Yes Jordan are getting Honda works engines but they are not getting Honda's engineers.
Here's hoping JV gives BAR at least another year.

[Mr.S]

Thanxs, I had heard plans for the suspension but hadn't actually put it to gether with project Athena.

I really think that JV never had plans to drive for another team other then BAR next year. He was just doing it to motivate the team, and it worked. The car will be amazing next year and the engine even better he knows it too. Beyond that it's hard to say what will happen.

if the car will do as much progress next year as it did this year then it will realy be very stupid for jv to leave, to arelativley new team renault that is hard for me to believe will be competitive out the box
