During weeks off, we intend to run quizzes regarding races that are no longer on the F1 calendar or countries of interest or anything else that takes our fancy. So this weekend will see the first Clip the Apex non-Grand Prix, to be held in Buenos Aires. I can almost see Brundle's emptygridwalk! So here is the quiz on the Grand Prix of Argentina.
Next week, I struggle to string 10 questions together about China, which is why these absentee GPs are such a boon! You might find questions about culture and anything other than F1 if it'll help get a quiz together next week!
