Auto Ariel

Auto Ariel is one of the car manufacturing companies in Fatal Racing.

Description
"Ariel is the only surviving French major company. Their reputation is for fun cars, and their designers are renowned for their inventive flair. Although the cars are not very reliable they continue to sell in great numbers throughout Europe. They have not penetrated other territories too deeply but their market share in South America and Asia is growing steadily. Their greatest competitor is the Italian firm DeSilva, a traditional friendly rivalry which seems to have fanned itself over the yers into a full-blown all-out war".

AI
AI drivers - HAL and SAL - tend to be quite challenging for player, as they are aggressive and often focused on damaging other cars rather than performing good lap times. Since Fouette 270zx isn't durable, this often ends with few fatalities per race. On the other hand, the car is straightforward to handle and thus Auto Ariel drivers sometimes achieve podium if they did not have much trouble. HAL and SAL are typically placed between 6 and 12 position by the end of the cup, which corresponds well to the average character of their car.

Trivia
