I believe the language barrier was a major stumbling block. Tora learned the hard way that English really is the language of Formula 1. It caused a lot of problems with his mechanics because they basically had to set up his car through an interpreter, meaning they often couldn't give Tora what he wanted. A great shame because he was definitely a blue chipper in my eyes.
I'm not afraid to say that with a proper package, Tora Takagi could do similarly well to Taku Sato, if not better. Even Schumacher would struggle to pump up a satisfying time in such a junky bathtub.
In fact Takagi did an amazing job in 1998, driving the Tyrrell. He more than once qualified within the "top" 15 while his teammate Ricardo Rosset didn't even manage to qualify for the race.
Great thanks

In 1999 there was no such regulation. It was introduced in 2001 if I remember correctly.

The engine was based on a Yamaha engine but Brian Hart was the designer I think

A major waste of money, Arrows would probably have lasted a bit longer in F1 if they didn't invest in engines

Brian Hart designed the engine, and Arrows (being run by Tom Walkinshaw) bought Hart's company. :)
