Name the driver

[FB]

Resurrecting an old thread - who's this?

 

[ExtremeNinja]

No idea, but wow! Is that what early Karts looked like?

 

[teabagyokel]

Is that Mike Hawthorn?

 

[Road of Bones]

My first thought was Mike Hawthorne too, but the cars behind him don't look old enough for his childhood...(I could be entirely mistaken though!)

 

[Viscount]

Ronnie Peterson.

 

[FB]

Well done Viscount, it is Ronnie from 1962.

 

[Viscount]

Took ages to work that out! Finally realised from the tyres he was karting on ice so figured it must be a Scandinavian driver.

Anyway, here you go:

 

[Mephistopheles]

Bruce McLaren?

 

[Viscount]

Nope.

 

[teabagyokel]

Jochen Mass?

 

[gethinceri]

Jochen Mass?

Before he discovered pies?

 

[teabagyokel]

Before he discovered pies?

Complete stab in the dark, geth, I assure you!

 

[Viscount]

Not Jochen Mass.

 

[Mephistopheles]

Jochen Rindt?

 

[Mephistopheles]

Just staying with the Jochen theme there.

 

[FB]

Is that Helmut Marko?

 

[GermanF1]

Gilles Villeneuve?

 

[Viscount]

Is that Helmut Marko?

Yes, it's Helmut Marko polishing his helmet before a race in 1972.

Well done.

 

[FB]

Okay, who's this chappy?

 

[teabagyokel]

Jochen Mass

(I know)
