Hack description

By default, Ayrton Senna's name in the game is written under his initials for his full name, "A.S.D.S" (Ayrton Senna da Silva), possibly to skirt the licensing issues surrounding him; this makes this game, along with F-1 Grand Prix Part III, as one of two (to my knowledge) games based on the 1993 F1 season to feature the 1988 and 1990-91 World Champion (although Senna is a hidden driver you have to create in a specific way in F1 GP Part 3, in process also revealing another secret driver in Nelson Piquet). This patch makes Senna's name appear more explicitly and more in line of other drivers within the game's interface screens.

This patch should work properly with MrRichard999's English translation patch.

Version 1.0a update: Bundled a fix to Jean Alesi's in-race name (during conditions such as the game notifies that a rival racer has retired, etc) after a typo by the game's original developers was discovered there ("J.ARESI").

Thank you !	FSH17	2020-11-25	Version 1.0a
This patch works perfectly with MrRichard999's English translation patch so at last we have F1 Circus games in ENglish ! No bug so far. My dream is to have an English translation pour F1 Circus '92 on PC Engine but thi patch and the Super F1 Circus 3 are a great way to discover this so particular game series.
