Single question quiz - winner poses the next question

[Jos the Boss]

Oh i hate guessing lotus' but is it the 49? I know that exist and for a guess I'm also going to say the 25!

 

[sportsman]

No, its not a Lotus.Its quite a rare car but not that rare.Think of "ski jumping" if you are English.

Dan Gurney in an Eagle at the 1967 Belgain Grand Prix. The only win for Eagle.

Bonus info, was the car model the AAR01?

 

[sportsman]

Spot on about Gurney and the race.
Bonus prize was that it was a Weslake engine.
Off you go.Your turn.

Another picture question, and related to sportsman's, what is going to happen to this guy in the race?

 

[tooncheese]

No takers?

Here are two small clues. It was a very embarrassing incident for the Canadian.

 

[FB]

Can I answer even though I had to resort to Wiki to find out what it was?

 

[tooncheese]

Well normal quizzes are done without googling, so in my opinion no. However its worth saying navigating wikipedia is a talent in itself. Thanks for being honest and not posting anyway .

 

[FB]

It's a stinker of a question

 

[sportsman]

It is a real teaser.But as no one else wants to try heres my shot.
Eagle at Canadian GP 1969.It think the driver (Pease?) was black flagged for being to slow.

Spot on, Al Pease was disqualifed for being too slow (The outdated Climax S4 played its part), despite a reasonable qualifying (not last). The relation to your question was that they were both eagle Mk1s. A sad end to a great team.

Your turn Sportsman

 

[sportsman]

Car Driver.Year.

 

[FB]

Carlos Reutemann, Ferrari 312B, 1977?

Edit 1978

 

[sportsman]

Hmmm just before I edited to black and white.
Spot on.It never raced but was tested much to Reutmann's disgust.He binned it

Edit.Its a 312 T6.
Close enough your turn

 

[FB]

Car, model and driver if you can.

 

[sportsman]

Nasty.That could be any one of three models.Need to think about that.

 

[teabagyokel]

As a clue McLaren took #8 in 1978 and threw it off again in time for 1984.

 

[sportsman]

OK.Go for broke. 1980 Mclaren M30.Alain Prost.

 

[FB]

Well done Sportsman - thought I'd throw in a curved ball as the M30 was so similar to the M29.

 

[sportsman]

As I said "nasty". This car never raced. Driver car and year.
