Single question quiz - winner poses the next question

[FB]

Well done Van Challis and here's the proof (courtesy of F1 Rejects - what a great website)

Sweet. My memory works! Didn't even need google! Right, now to think of one of my own.

Who is the only F1 driver (as far as my memory recalls) who has been awarded the George medal for bravery as a direct result of an on-track incident? And for bonus credits, which circuit did it happen at?

 

[Road of Bones]

David Purley, Zandvoort 1978, trying to save Roger Williamson from his burning car in the face of the Marshalls' ineptitude & the racing still going on.

Nice one, on to you then!

Thanks VanChallis!

Ok - let's have a multi-parter then:

1970 - a new British marque made it's first GP appearance at Kyalami. Who were they, how many cars did they field & who was driving them that day?

(I think I'll hand over when all the parts have been answered...)

 

[Galahad]

March is the easy bit. Now for the cars....

Two works cars for Chris Amon and Jo Siffert,
One car run by Ken Tyrrell for Jackie Stewart,
One car run by Antique Automobiles for Ronnie Peterson,
One car run by ?Andy Granatelli for Mario Andretti.

Not sure they were all at Kyalami though...but I'll say five.

Jesus Christ Galahad!

Ooooh - very close Galahad! You got one driver wrong though...

 

[Galahad]

GAH!

 

[Road of Bones]

...you did get the one I didn't expect anyone to remember though!

I would suggest you give that to G as he got so close RoB but he's likely to post such an obscure question no one will get the answer this side of Christmas

He's right you know.
Someone had better look it up quick and save me from myself!

 

[Road of Bones]

You're absolutely right, of course FB

Galahad wins it - the driver I have in the 5th March that day is Johnny Servoz-Gavin, not Ronnie Peterson...

Your shout, G!

 

[Galahad]

OK, I've tried to keep it relatively simple, just give me the next one in the sequence:

Total, Mobil 1, Mobil 1, Shell, ???

 

[Slyboogy]

Durex?

 

[Road of Bones]

Shell

 

[Galahad]

Durex?

Nope

Shell

No.

 

[Vortex]

Petronas

 

[Road of Bones]

Total then...

 

[Galahad]

Petronas

No.

Total then...

Afraid not. This is no place for guesswork!
