It's a good answer and I can certainly see how you came to that conclusion, but it's not the answer I was looking for.
 
Complete stab in the dark here, but would it be referring to a corner on the Isle of Man TT circuit?
 
Speedway, Indiana, USA
 
No and no, I'm afraid. One person has been relatively close.

Time for a hint. First race held in 1929.
 
North West 200?
 
Relatively easy question.

How many laps did the 11th place finisher in the 1969 24 Hours of Le Mans complete, and what engine were they using?
 
They were using a 2.0 liter Porsche flat 6 and they completed 301 laps.

Yep, correct. 👍

Your go.
 
What 4 drivers own their own karting chassis company?


Fernando Alonso-FA Kart-MazdaPrice

Is that just 4 drivers generally or 4 drivers of a specific discipline?
 
Michael Schumacher.
Fernando Alonso.
Maybe Senna.

Does Ayrton Senna still have things produced with his name on them?
 
Your wrong with Schumacher, and right with Alonso. Senna has chassis made with his name printed on, but Tony Kart makes them.
 
Then pure guesswork leads me to Gerhard Berger and some research leads me to Mickey Rupp.
 
Nope.


Fernando Alonso-FA Kart-MazdaPrice
Alex Zanardi-Zanardi Kart-Hiatch40


2 more.
 
Well Mickey Rupp is a former racer whose company now makes karts.

And the name we were looking for was Alex Zanardi.
 
Sorry. I should reword my post. The drivers I have in mind are all professional and famous.

Want a hint?
 
So we have;

Alex Zanardi
Fernando Alonso

I'll suggest... Tom Kristensen and Mario Andretti.
 
Nope.

Here's a hint for one. He tested with Benetton F1 team in 1995. He never raced in F1. But was a real good open wheel driver.
 
Emmanuel Collard was Benetton test driver in 1995 but never raced in F1. However, he is more of a sports car driver.
 
Nope. This guy is known for racing openwheel cars.. He wasn't a test driver for them. He tested for them once.
 
Paul Tracy? I know he was close to a Benetton Drive, but turned it down on account of how one-sided his contract would've been.
