Name that driver

[FB]

Just realised it was my turn to post another pic. Whos' this chubby old chap?

 

[Pyrope]

James Hunt's old McLaren sparring partner Jochen Mass?

 

[FB]

Well done Pyrope, over to you.

 

[Pyrope]

Right, in celebration of the world's finest shipping cable company's return to F1, who is this sporting their brand...

 

[gethinceri]

That is the splendidly attired Emmanuel de Graffenried (Toulo, as he was known).

 

[Pyrope]

Indeedy, the good Baron himself.

 

[gethinceri]

Who this guy?

 

[Pyrope]

Looks a bit like a badly coiffed AdC, but I have a feeling it's not...

 

[gethinceri]

Your feeling is correct,your answer is not I'm afraid.

 

[FB]

Think we need a clue Gethin...

 

[gethinceri]

Ooh, that makes me feel good.
Rally driver turned Endurance racer.
You'd need to be an F1 nerd to find his contribution to that class as a driver.

Two clues, reckon you'll need more though!!

 

[FB]

Is it former Renault team manager Gerard Larousse?

 

[gethinceri]

Very well done, a tough one eh?

 

[FB]

Indeed so, and to be honest the clue didn't help very much. I knew I recognised him and it sort of just came to me...

 

[Pyrope]

Ack, I knew I knew the face, just couldn't get a name to appear in my brain! Ouch, that was hard.

 

[FB]

Who's this feller?

 

[teabagyokel]

Jacques Villeneuve Senior?

 

[FB]

How peculiar, that was the first driver I thought of posting a pic of but sorry TBY JV snr it's not.

 

[Brogan]

I know who it is

But only because I looked at the file properties

 

[Pyrope]

Ha!

Got to say that last time I saw him interviewed in a magazine he's certainly filled out a bit since those days...

Sorry FB, once Brogan dangled that temptation I just couldn't help myself!
