Sochi?
I'm not terribly informed on this sort of thing, but even I know 5 is Nick Wirth, 10 is Aldo Costa, 9 is Newey with the blank being Leyton House.
6. is Ducarouge and the missing car is Alfa Romeo.
Your response was so quick I couldn't get away with a quick edit identifying former BBC pundit/expert Gary Anderson as #1.
Also, Mike Gascoyne is #8 with the second blank being Renault, but I don't know the first blank.
#2 is the late, great Dr. Harvey Postalwaite (March - Hesketh - [Wolf/Williams] - Tyrrell - [Ferrari] - Tyrrell - Honda).
#7 is Gustav Brunner (ATS - RAM - Arrows - Ferrari - March - [Rial] - Ferrari - [Minardi] - Toyota).
#8 is Mike Gascoyne (McLaren - [Tyrrell] - Sauber - Jordan - [Renault] - Toyota - Force India - [Caterham]).
You have the correct designers but some incorrect gaps filled in Postlethwaite's career. Admittedly, I messed up Gustav Brunner (forgot Rial) so I'll give you that one.
Bah, I knew I forgot that he was at Fittipaldi for a year with Keke Rosberg after the stint at Wolf/Williams... Or that he had Mike Gascoyne join him at Sauber when it was being initially prepared as Mercedes's main F1 team.
#4 is Tony Southgate, with Lotus and Arrows after Shadow but before Theodore.
Great splits but you're in the wrong thread.I had a 23.43x and a 43.42x before I mucked up the last sector.![]()
Oh what? John Barnard, with the gaps being Benetton and Prost?
Damn, thanks for pointing that out.Great splits but you're in the wrong thread.
I don't have any good questions lined up, so I'll ask something simple to keep things moving: What was the first V6-engined car to finish on the overall podium at the 24 hours of Le Mans?With the most correct acknowledgements, it's @SagarisGTB's turn.
Correct. The (great) Mirage GR8 was refitted with a more powerful turbocharged Renault V6 for 1977, and though it didn't win overall like its Cosworth V8 powered predecessor, it claimed 2nd after a string of late retirements for the factory Renault Alpines and unexpectedly became the first V6 car to finish on the overall podium at Le Mans. The Renault Alpines won overall with that same engine the very next year.It appears to be the Mirage-Renault turbo V-6 of Schuppan and Jarier, 1977.
I'm going out on a (small) limb and asking a different sort of trivia question. To win, you are to do a short free-form essay or response in a style of your choice to the question, "What is the best ever under two liter sports-racing car?"
You may use statistics, photos, emotional appeal or any other form of persuasion of your own choice. The best, most concise and persuasive response wins. Clear enough?
