Super F1 Circus 2

This needs some investigation.
Discuss ideas and findings on the talk page.
Specifically: Is the Mika Hakkinen helmet graphic in-game?

Super F1 Circus 2 is the first in the series to adopt Mode 7 graphics. Oh, and they actually sneaked Ayrton Senna in somehow while other developers at the time (not even Sega ...twice!) couldn't.

Unused Team#

Various references to March (formerly Leyton House Racing)'s planned 1993 entry can be found in the ROM. The team was on the FIA entry list for the 1993 season, but never competed after various attempts to financially rescue the team fell through.

At 0x1002BF (team data, when you have chosen your team and going to select your teammate):

TEAM:
MARCH ENGINEERING

ENGINE:
ILMOR 2175A V10

CHASSIS:
MARCH CG921

DIRECTOR:
K.MARRABLE

At 0x1005F8 (chassis name):

MARCH CG921

At 0x110AFC (team name):

MARCH

At 0x100983 and 0x155597 (driver names):

J-M.GOUNON
J.LAMMERS

Notably, while all of the above is present, the team is missing from the drivers/teams list at 0x34D6.

Oddities#

Because names for menus and in-race are saved separately, Michele Alboreto's and Jean Alesi's names is written correctly in the former, but incorrectly ("M.ARBORETO" and "J. ARESI") in the latter.
