After the A4 and A5, the Arrows team finally hoped to be able to secure a turbo engine for the 1983 season. Instead it had to fall back on the naturally outdated Ford Cosworth. The 1983 A6 was a very conventional single-seater, designed by Peter Wass to make the most of the fairly limited power of the engine. The car managed to snatch some decent results, especially with Marc Surer, who got four points. The A6 was used, in a slightly modified form, also for part of the 1984 season. Thierry Boutsen, Alan Jones and Chico Serra also drove the car.

SPARK-MODEL

In the history of static modeling, Spark has truly revolutionized the market. The brand was created by Hugues Ripert, whose father André had been one of the main contenders of the artisanal modeling scene in the 70s and 80s. After working for Vitesse, Quartzo and Ixo, Ripert jr did not choose the diecast technique but opted for resin, with production in China but development and conception strictly in the European tradition. In practice the idea was to offer special models built in small series (what were later called "resincast"). The first Sparks were released in 2000, with a quality-price ratio unapproachable for most industrial and artisanal producers. Today Spark continues to churn out dozens of new products a year, having also expanded its production to other scales, such as 1:18 but also 1:64. There are numerous numbered and limited series for the various national distributors and for private customers such as teams, sponsors, drivers and so on.
