I built questions around certain years and forget to edit majority of them into question numbers. Now editing time is over.

Must have been the lack of numbering that lead to me only getting 3.

I only scored 2 but it was a good quiz. The best part is I only got question 1 correct because I found that fact when I did the race write up

Thanks Angel I knew I had read it somewhere recently and was the only reason I got it, got the 6 wheeler and a 50/50 guess on the Schumacher question gave me 3.
