Ask The Apex

[RasputinLives]

The thirty year run may be coming to an end but it hasn't really been that illustrious, has it?

When I think back of Japanese drivers, none of them really provide fond memories.

I think its the engines that have been the real impact. Lets remember at one point if you didn't have a honda you didn't win.

 

[Galahad]

Not to mention Toyota, Yamaha and Subaru.

Oh.

Was Riccardo Paletti the last driver to race wearing glasses?

 

[tooncheese]

Sebastian Bourdais?

 

[gethinceri]

JV did, not sure about Bourdais.

 

[landogeorgelewis1]

Are you kidding? Of course Bourdais wore specs. You could clearly see them through his crash helmet .

 

[gethinceri]

No, only seen him in the car in the garage with specs on, not on the track.

 

[Slyboogy]

There was a race think Malaysia 2009 where he complained he couldn't see as his glasses kept fogging up.

 

[gethinceri]

Are you sure it wasn't Japan?

 

[FB]

Proof positive that HammydiRestarules and tooncheese are correct.

 

[gethinceri]

No, FB, that is not proof of him racing in glasses.

 

[landogeorgelewis1]

Only one way to find out!

I'm gonna find him on twitter and ask him if he does .

Will get back with an answer for you if I get a reply.

 

[gethinceri]

Go for it, it will be interesting to find out. I don't actually think he sat in the car in glasses then took them off before hitting the pit lane and track.

 

[FB]

I can't post the image but I'm sure you can see his bins in this link gethinceri

[landogeorgelewis1]

Might not get a reply he hasn't been on twitter since 22nd October .

 

[gethinceri]

Sorry FB, i can't see them. I concede that he did wear them for racing though, as post 1565 states, I was unsure. However, everyone else wins, they were right.

 

[landogeorgelewis1]

gethinceri, tooncheese, Slyboogy and FB,

Sebastain Bourdais has replied and he definitely wears glasses on when driving racing cars .


Kayleigh Gardner ‏@87Kiddo
@BourdaisOnTrack Hey Seb me and a few friends are having a debate, do you wear glasses on when driving the racing cars?
