Blockbuster Thread II

Interesting guess TBY but wrong I'm afraid. I will give you a hint it is someone deeply involved in F1 today but not a driver.

 

[cider_and_toast]

Hmmmm. Germanic sounding name, Deeply involved in F1 but not a driver.

Wouldn't be Max Mosley by any chance ??

 

[FB]

You're too good C_A_T, it was indeed Max Rufus Mosley.

 

[cider_and_toast]

Nice easy one for someone.

Which D is to Switzerland as N is to Luxembourg?

C_A_T

 

[teabagyokel]

Dijon (Swiss GP 1982 - despite being in France - motorsports still banned in Switz. since Le Mans '55) and Nurburgring (Luxembourg GP 1997/8 despite being in Germany)

A special mention too for Imola (San Marino 1981-2006)

 

[teabagyokel]

Which F was banned for the 1952 and '53 seasons?

 

[cider_and_toast]

Which F was banned for the 1952 and '53 seasons?

Fu.....er no wait perhaps not.

TBY is it Formula 1 as both seasons were run under F2 regs?

 

[teabagyokel]

Yes, Fat Bloke, you are right, it is Formula 1! Both seasons were run under F2 rules in order that Ferrari didn't steamroller the opposition after Alfa's withdrawal.

It worked in so much as it attracted many entrants to challenge the red machines, but Ferrari still steamrollered the opposition!

I wrote this question very quickly!

 

[FB]

Which S is the only Grand Prix where Michael Schumacher was on the podium with Prost & Senna. And for a bonus point (sorry ate all the cookies - you don't get a body like mine without working at it ) what year was it.

 

[teabagyokel]

I'm going to guess Spain, and it must have been 1993!

 

[FB]

Twas indeed, over to you TBY.

 

[teabagyokel]

• Adelaide
• Aida
• Suzuka
• Hungaroring
• Magny-Cours
• Suzuka

Which S completes this list?

 

[cider_and_toast]

I have no idea why but in the absence of any other guesses I am going to say Spa??

 

[FB]

In case C_A_T is wrong, the only other S I can think of is Silverstone.

 

[teabagyokel]

It was Spa. Anyone want to guess at the connection?

 

[cider_and_toast]

Is it anything to do with Damon Hill? Don't know why but I know he was the last guy to win in Adelaide and he took his last win in Spa.

 

[teabagyokel]

They're the circuits that Michael Schumacher won the world title at:

Adelaide 94, Aida 95, Suzuka 2000, Hungaoring 01, Magny-Cours 02, Suzuka 03 and Spa 04.

So, you're right, c_a_t, Over to you!

 

[cider_and_toast]

Thanks TBY although since I didn't get the connection I feel I've won this by default.

Ok. Which "M" completes this list of drivers and bonus point for the connection:

Jim Clark
Graham Hill
Mario Andretti
Jochen Rindt
Emerson Fittipaldi
Jim Crawford
Nigel Mansell
????????????
Nelson Piquet

 

[FB]

I think the connection is somethng to do with Lotus, but not sure what. Is it Roberto Moreno?
