	Rory Byrne Profile (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-06)
		Rory joined up with Ferrari in time for the 1997 season but his 1st car would be the 1998 Ferrari, which took Michael Schumacher so close to the driver's title.
		Rory achieved his aim in 2000 as his F1-2000 stormed the season and took all the honours as Ferrari achieved double success with Michael Schumacher winning the drivers title and Ferrari scoring a record breaking 170 points to claim the constructor's title.

		Ferrari's chief designer, the South African born, 59-year-old Rory Byrne, probably will not know what happened in the race debut of his latest creation, the Ferrari 2003GA, at the Spanish GP, May 4th, until after you do.
		It is, says Rory, without a doubt the best car that he has ever produced, something he has said every year since 1981, when he designed his first Formula One car for Toleman.
		While Rory enjoys a well earned break in Mauritius, his thoughts as he lies on the beach will probably already be on next year's car, which he will begin working on in May or June provided he knows what the future rules are likely to be.

		Rory possesses a natural competitiveness, combined with a level of commitment and enthusiasm, sustained in the face of what must often have seemed impossible difficulties, over nearly 30 years.
		Credit is due to those that gave Rory the opportunities along the way, to reveal the in-built talents that the years at Benetton (n?e Toleman) have amply demonstrated.
		Rory, having worked with Ayrton Senna in his early days in Formula 1 and Michael Schumacher almost throughout his time in the formula, rates highly the contribution of the driver to the overall process of honing the car.
