DC couldn't get the Turkish Lira out of the little change holder on the dashboard cuz his gloves were to thick,,,An oversight for which Newey was severly repromanded,,

 

[canis]

Pay the toll!

Sorry, I got stuck with no internet access for the weekend, but we have a winner!!

Apparently DC got fined the equivalent of £20 for failing to pay the toll on the demo run...

 

[Josh]

Hooray!

I can't really think of a good question so if anyone else has one ready, feel free to post it

 

[mjo]

Name the driver who once was classified 23 laps behind the eventual race winner.
Super-dooper bonus question: name the year & the GP.

 

[FB]

Is this an Indy 500 question?

 

[Mephistopheles]

I'm assuming you mean the driver actually finished the race

 

[mjo]

FB - F1 race
Meph - He was racing when the winning driver finished.

Harry Schell at 1959 Avus?

 

[Johnny Carwash]

Jo Siffert 1965 Dutch GP?

Harry Schell at 1959 Avus?

Jo Siffert 1965 Dutch GP?

Both were fantastically rubbish at both GP's, but not by exactly 23 laps.

I only asked Indy 500 as it was part of the F1 season in the 50's. Who was the bloke disqualified in Canada for driving too slow? He must have been lapped a few times in another race.

 

[Mephistopheles]

I'm thinking it must have been somebody who broke down had his car fixed and rejoined the race

 

[LifeW12]

Takuma Sato

 

[mjo]

Not Sato

 

[mjo]

And the driver wasn't DQ'd

 

[teabagyokel]

Is this on F1 Rejects? Was it Tom Jones at Canada in 1969?

EDIT: I'm sorry, I'm thinking Al Pease who was DQed from that race for being too slow!

He wasn't that slow in the race, he qualified off the back row, however he kept chopping up the leaders as they lapped him infuriating Mr Tyrell. I think Tom Jones was in 1967 in a Cooper T82 and about 20 seconds away from being let in to race.

As for the race, was it the Glen by any chance, they used to have hundreds of laps there.

 

[Mephistopheles]

In 1967 al Pease entered the Canadian Grand Prix and finished 43 laps down on the winner Jack Brabham
