Minardi PS04

Information

PS04A, actually Arrows A23 chassis, which the 'A' means. After Arrows folded in 2002, all A23 chassis were bought by Minardi. Later they arranged a test at Mugello to compare A23s and their own PS03s, which showed A23s were better. During the test, the A23s were renamed as PS04 and had PS04A plaques and Minardi livery, but technically unchanged. In the end, Minardi decided that they could not use a pure Arrows chassis to compete in the Championship, so they developed PS04B based on A23 to race in season 2004.
