Pre-GP Quiz 2017 British Grand Prix quiz

[racecub]

Sorry if this quizz is a little early. I'm away all next week then straight down to Silverstone, so I thought it best to get it posted.
The theme of the quizz is 'The British GP' It's my first quizz , so if you all score ten out of ten, or zero out of ten, I'll realise I pitched it wrong.
So here we go. Good luck.

Question1:

Which four tracks have hosted a British GP? Quarter of a point for each one.

Ok, so NO-ONE should score zero!

Aintree, Brands Hatch, Brooklands, Silverstone

3.75, we need half points for all of us who are 1 out on numerical guesses... every time!

 

[racecub]

Yes it did cross my mind to do that....but I thought this would be easy.
Perhaps because I knew the answers.
And because on other quizzes, I do very, very badly.
But I will beat that in mind .....if I'm ever allowed to do another quizz.

 

[teabagyokel]

Of course you're allowed to do more quizzes; everyone is allowed to do quizzes at any time.

When I left the moderating team, this was the quality control flowchart:

I presume it has not yet been withdrawn, cider_and_toast.

 

[cider_and_toast]

That's the policy as far as I understand it.

For further advice see the teabagyokel guide to the quiz thread pinned to the top of this forum racecub

I need to give myself a bloody good slap as I missed the Austrian GP quiz. Forgot I had that one. I will fix that ASAP.

 

[racecub]

Yep, thanks cider_and_toast , I saw teabagyokel 's guide, it was very helpful, as were you answering questions. I liked doing the quizz so will definately be up for another one in the future.

 

[cider_and_toast]

You're more than welcome racecub, the more the merrier.
