OK, this will probably be shot down really easily, but here goes :P

What is the name of the man commonly known as "the most obscure Grand Prix entrant" and at what race did he make his debut?

See? I knew it :P It is a brilliant website.

I found an "easy" F1 question that had everyone stumped for days. And yes, it's a great website. Could do with being updated more often though.

Okay, next question. Who am I? I was born in Stockholm, have raced in Japan and I took pole and a win at Macau.
 
Given that it appears only one Swede has ever won the Macau Grand Prix, I will say you are Rickard Rydell, and wait for the "YOU FELL INTO MY TRAP" :P

EDIT: Well damn. >_>
 
OK then. What was the first and only 4WD car to score a world championship point, at what race did this occur, and what else was unique about the race in question?
 
Johnny Seroz-Gavin drove the 4-wheel drive Matra MS84 to 6th place in the 1969 Canadian Grand Prix. In this race, Al Pease became the first and only driver in Formula 1 history to be disqualified for being too slow.

EDIT: I'm sure I'm right, but I won't get home from school for about 8 hours, if you'd like to do a question before then, go ahead.

Yep, that's correct. I love the idea of the marshalls getting sick of how long you're taking and flagging you down :P

Whilst Graham Hill did finish in the top 6 twice in 1963, neither race was as part of the F1 World Championship, and neither race awarded points to non-Australians.

How many times did Kasey Kahne finish second before finally winning a race in what is now NASCAR Sprint Cup?

6?

That's what I got, but since I'd been monopolising the thread slightly, I figured I'd let someone else go.
Also I don't know anything about NASCAR so I had to look it up, so I didn't think it would be fair >_>
 
Just as I was about to turn off the computer to go to bed. I can't think of another right now, so can someone post another?
 
Dammit, I saw a new post in this thread and was expecting a new question to answer, its the Kaz Tweets thread all over again! :P

Is there some rule on taking too long to post a question means anyone can pose one?
 
^^^ Likewise.

It's all rather vague. Normally, I'll try and get in touch with the person and if they don't answer in 24 hours, then I say it's fair game. But there aren't really any rules.
 
In absence of questions, a quick one to keep us going:

Name the only driver with a 100% record for converting race starts to race podiums.

Serafini. He shared his car with Ascari in his one and only start.
 
It's one of the few times that my F1 knowledge comes in handy.

Next question.

Who am I? I was born in Wallington, England. I took 6 podiums and 1 win at the most feared race.
