* Comet Shoemaker-Levy 9 ( formally designated D / 1993 F2, nicknamed String of Pearls for its appearance ) was a comet that broke apart and collided with Jupiter in July 1994, providing the first direct observation of an extraterrestrial collision of solar system objects ..

He was quickly promoted to the F1 team and drove for March in both F1 and F2 in 1972.

Although the F2 cars were good ( and Lauda's test-driving skills impressed March principal Robin Herd ), March's 1972 F1 season was catastrophic and Lauda, in despair and deep debt, briefly contemplated suicide but finally took out yet another bank loan to buy his way into the BRM team in 1973.

For instance, the Frenchman Jean-Pierre Beltoise is driving a BRM in the game, although in fact he drove a Formula 2 Matra ( at that time it was not unknown to see an F2 machine entered in an F1 Grand Prix ) on three occasions in 1967, and never drove a BRM before 1972.

Physics settings in the original package allowed a very rough simulation of 1967 F2 and F3, but the appearance of the cars was unchanged and the physics were less accurate than their F1 counterpart.

Leasat F1's launch was cancelled just prior to lift-off and F2 became the first into orbit on August 30, 1984 aboard Discovery on shuttle mission STS-41-D. F1 was launched successfully on November 8, 1984 aboard STS-51-A followed on April 12, 1985 by Leasat F3 on STS-51-D. F3's launch was declared a failure when the satellite failed to start its manoeuvre to geostationary orbit once released from Discovery.

Tuscaloosa City was struck by an F2 Tornado in January 1997 which resulted in the death of one person.

On May 1, 2001, Glenville, Minnesota was subject to an F2 Tornado at or about 7: 00 PM CST.

On May 4, 2003, a " high end " F2 tornado that was part of the May 2003 tornado outbreak sequence struck the downtown square, William Jewell campus, and businesses and residences to the east on County Road H. Numerous buildings and homes were heavily damaged or completely destroyed.

On May 27, 2001, Manalapan was struck by a tornado rated at F2 on the Fujita scale, causing over $ 1 million in damage.

On November 2, 1967, the Last Chance Motel was destroyed by a cone-shaped F2 tornado.

Although Utah as a whole only averages 2 – 3 tornadoes per year, Manti was hit directly by an F2 tornado on September 8, 2002.

The tornado was initially ranked an F0, but strengthened to an F2 at the intersection of highways 8 and 27 on the west side of town.

The Cortina engine was also the basis for the FVA, an F2 engine introduced in 1966, and developed under the same contract as the DFV, for the new 1. 6-litre engine rules.

It was produced until October 1973 and was replaced by the quite similar Nikon F2.

The Nikon F was succeeded in 1972 by the Nikon F2 series after a production total of 862, 600 bodies.

) Europe was now the largest growing market for windsurfers, and the sub-licensed companies-Tabur, F2, Mistral-wanted to find a way to remove or reduce their royalty payments to Windsurfing International.

Prior to the double cohort in 2003, F1 and F2 formed both halves of the Ontario Grade 7-9 curriculum ; M3 was equivalent to Grade 10, and so forth.

In the 1960s, the Formula One German Grand Prix was often held concurrently with a Formula Two race on the same circuit, allowing BMW F2 cars to take part.

In 1967, BMW entered Hubert Hahne in a Lola F2 chassis powered by an enlarged BMW engine which meant that it conformed with the Formula One regulations, while David Hobbs was entered by Lola in the same combination with the standard smaller BMW engine.

BMW then entered three of its own 269 F2 chassis for the 1969 race, for the trio of Hahne, Gerhard Mitter and Dieter Quester, but Mitter was fatally injured in a practice accident and the remainder of the team withdrew from the race.

Formula Two, abbreviated to F2, is a type of open wheel formula racing.

However, after the death of the initial F2 series in 1955 and its resurrection the following year, BMW's management decided not to participate in expensive open wheel racing.

The 1. 5 L formula was short-lived, with Formula Junior effectively replacing first F3 and then F2 until 1963 — but the 1961 1. 5 L Formula One was effectively a continuation of this Formula Two.

Formula Junior was introduced in 1959, an attempt to be all things to all people ( both a training formula replacing F3 and a high-level international category below F1 replacing F2 ), and it was soon realised that there was a need to split it into two new formulae ; F2 and F3 were reintroduced for the 1964 season, with F3 requiring one-litre production-based engines ( very similar to FJ in fact ) with very restricted tuning, and F2 also having a 1. 0 L engine size, but permitting pure-bred racing engines.

Patrick Depailler took the F2 championship in an Elf-sponsored March-BMW, the marque's last title for several years as the Elf sponsorship programme and ( in 1976 ) the arrival of Renault engines turned the formula into a French benefit.

At one point the use of 4. 2 L TVR engines cars in F3000 chassis was discussed as a possible British F2, but this did not materialise.

Track F1 is used by trains to Greenbelt while Branch Avenue-bound trains use track F2.

The US market made use of the F2 2. 2 L engine, with the base engine produced 120 hp ( 89 kW ), but a 145 hp ( 108 kW ) turbocharged version was available.

Discussions took place with Lancia over the supply of a turbocharged engine, but the team decided to use a turbocharged version of the Hart F2 engine.

March undertook to buy a quantity of BMW engines each year in exchange for ' works ' units for their own team ; the BMW unit was standard-issue for the 732 F2 car and to use up the rest of the units March also manufactured a 2-litre prototype until 1975.

Reference: F1, F2 These current domain amplifiers are only suitable for use with certain unique types of speakers.

At the moment both camouflaged F2 and " Félin " uniforms are worn and the desert " Daguet " pattern is still in use in desert area.

1979 marked the end of Sauber's first foray into sports car building-and the start of preparing chassis for Lola F2 cars.

Indeed, the F2 chassis was so much like the GP design that the uncompleted GP / 4 machine was converted and became F2 / 3, although this machine was no more successful than its siblings.

While the F2 engine might have been overwhelmed by the chassis ' bulk, tweaks made by Peter Whitehead to the unit in his car showed that the design had tuning potential.

Peter Whitehead led the way by removing the engine from F2 / 5 and installing it into a Cooper T24 chassis, which he ran in the 1953 British Grand Prix.

The car was fairly unsuccessful in F2, and Merzario decided to return to running March chassis for 1981.

In 1983 they debuted in Formula One, using their 201 F2 chassis, driven by Stefan Johansson, and again employing a Honda engine-this time helping Honda to make a low-key debut with their 1. 5-litre turbocharged version of the F2 engine.

By the mid-sixties the company had moved on up into car racing with Formula 3 ( winning several championships in 1968 ) and Formula 2 chassis, the F2 being good enough to take the 1970 F2 championship in the hands of Clay Regazzoni.

The team constructed ten F1 chassis that year, in addition to F2, F3, Formula Ford and Can-Am chassis.

The 721X was deemed to be a disaster and abandoned, but the team saw a way out ; customer Mike Beuttler and his backers ordered an F1 car, and the team produced the 721G in nine days ( the ' G ' standing for ' Guinness Book Of Records ' as the car was built so quickly ) by fitting a Cosworth DFV and larger fuel tanks to the 722 F2 chassis ( not as desperate an experiment as it may have sounded -- John Cannon commissioned a Formula 5000 car which was built to a very similar scheme ).

The 721G set the trend for future March F1 cars, which for the rest of the 1970s were essentially scaled-up F2 chassis.

For the 1970 F2 season, BMW debuted the 270 chassis, and campaigned with Jo Siffert, Hubert Hahne, Dieter Quester, and Jacky Ickx.

Lister's magic did not extend to single-seater racing, however ; his F2 car, with Coventry-Climax power, MG gearbox, and ( new to Lister ) multi-tube chassis, proved a failure.
