So if there are four primary air guns per team and we have 11 teams that's 44 air guns using 20,000 litres of air.

That's a lot more than I would have thought. Interesting fact.

Another question from someone. :)

Its 20,000 per 4 wheel guns used on one car
 
If I can ask I have one.

What was the only non championship formula one race to take place in the United States, what track did it take place at and who won?

It was the Indy 500, wasn't it?

The Indy 500 counted towards the World Championship despite it not being run to Formula One regulations. I am thinking the complete opposite, being run to Formula One regulations but not counting towards points.

Oh, right. I feel like it might've been the COTA races...
 
From the days when tracks had to have a non championship race before being included in the F1 championship.

Two US Grands Prix. East and West. Street circuits where exempt for this rule so I suspect Watkins Glen.

I think the United States might have been exempt from this rule as Watkins Glen, Riverside, and Sebring all held points paying races without hosting non championship races.
 
Well, of all the places I know of to have hosted F1 races off the top of my head:

Sebring
Riverside
Indianapolis
Watkins Glen
Long Beach
Phoenix
Dallas
Detroit
Caesar's Palace
Austin

The last non-championship race was in 1983 which rules out Phoenix and Austin and possibly Dallas but Dallas could have hosted one.

I have a sneaky suspicion it might have been a track which subsequently never hosted an F1 race. There could have been a non-championship race at Laguna Seca won by someone like Phil Hill, Dan Gurney, Masten Gregory or Ronnie Bucknam.
 
I guess I'll go again.

During the mid 90's World Championship Wrestling ran a storyline called the New World Order. This was so far reaching it affected the world of motorsports. What Nascar Driver joined the group(and featured the NWO as a sponsor on his car) in 1996
 
I know they had a jobber tag team called "The Pit Crew" at some point during the 90s:

Given that the nWo are the biggest heel stable of all time, I'd guess it was someone dislikable like Kyle Petty.

Ha you win. Kyle Petty turned heel on WCW and drove for the NWO
 
Thanks, Liquid.

Let's see...

"And what is Deletraz doing?"
  1. Who said that quote and why?
  2. Who is Deletraz?
I already know the answer to 1 but I need the answer to 2.
 
Jean-Denis Deletraz is one of the worst paydrivers to have ever driven in F1 and that sounds like either Murray Walker or Jonathan Palmer. That bit is easy. ;)

Can't think of the specific incident they're talking about. I think he might have started going backwards around a track at one point.

You got the driver right. You're warm on the commentator and extremely cold on the incident.
