Tony, The AI cars *do* sound like "Buzzin' Hornets" (I'm not sure I'd recognize a "Bitten Hero" if I heard one).

Hi Eldred, This has probably been answered, but I'm only seeing about a half of the posts lately .... Anyway, Jordan has used "Bitten Hero" in place of Benson and Henges throughout the year at tracks where the tobacoo ban is in effect (just like "Buzzin' Hornets" was used last year). This was not a special tribute caused by the events of 9/11. In 2000, the Jordan featured a hornet painted on its nose, while this year they changed that to a shark, hence the different phrase. The reason that some teams were allowed to have tobacco sponsorship displayed at the U.S. Grand Prix (for example, McLaren with West) and some teams weren't (no Marlboro for Ferrari, no Lucky Strike for BAR, no Benson and Henges for Jordan) has to do with some arcane U.S. law stating that a tobacco company can only sponsor cars in one racing series. So those sponsors not on display had been previously on cars in CART, Nascar, etc. Dave Ewing -- ***************************************************** David A.

That's why I couldn't figure it out. I knew about "Buzzin' Hornets" before in countries banning tobacco ads, but I hadn't noticed that they'd changed that substitute wording this year... Since the McLaren's still had "West" on the car, that's what made me discount a tobacco ad ban... Ok, thanks.
