Name that car...

[FB]

It wouldn't be Cecotto in an Ensign as he didn't drive for them... Doh!

However, he did drive for Theodore who rebranded the Ensign's in the early 80's

FB hits the bar, but follows up on the rebound - it is indeed Johnny Cecotto's 1983 Theodore N183

 

[FB]

Okay, what car is this?

 

[Muddytalker]

That looks like a very beautiful Minardi, possibly from around 1990*, and I'm guessing the driver was Pier-luigi Martini?

* Just checked, they were using Pirellis until the end of 90, so '91?

 

[FB]

I'm going to have to push you for the model number Muddy

 

[Muddytalker]

M191?

 

[FB]

It's not the M191 but I'll give it to you - it was the M192, which I'm sure would have been your next guess!

Over to you Muddy.

 

[Muddytalker]

You can tell I'm busy at work today, no?

One for those that know their history, this one

 

[cider_and_toast]

I think it's a Mclaren M23?

I think it's a Mclaren M23?

Certainly looks like a McLaren (Marlboro branding is a bit of a giveaway), although I have no idea of the model

I think I agree with CAT, but I had to cheat to come up with that conclusion Was it not the one that Villeneuve (the decent driver, not the other young upstart) drove?

 

[Muddytalker]

Spot on CaT, and it is the one-off drive Gilles had for McLaren in '77, fat_jez

 

[cider_and_toast]

Ok then folks, I think this may be too easy but I'll see.

 

[fat jez]

Looks like a ground effect car and is that an Italian flag on the airbox?

 

[cider_and_toast]

Yes and no

 

[FB]

I think you may be trying to throw us a curved ball here CaT, that is either Hector Rebaque driving the HR100 he used to mess around at the back of the grid in OR Hector Rebaque driving one of the 2nd hand Lotus 79's he used to mess around at the back of the grid in.

 

[cider_and_toast]

Curve ball chucked and caught by FB. Tis' indeed a Rebaque HR100 (an almost carbon copy of the Lotus 79) that Hector tooled around in.

 

[fat jez]

that would explain why I thought the flag was Italian, given he's Mexican.

 

[FB]

Okay, this is a classic from the 70's but I'm going to be quite strict I want car maker, model and driver please.

 

[Muddytalker]

It looks like Super Swede Ronnie Peterson in a March, but I'm not sure on the year.

March 701?

 

[FB]

2 out of 3 Muddy but wrong model.
