Motorports trivia/quiz

With so many knowledgeable people around (Yes Frank I'm thinking about you), I guess we can have some fun with this kind of game . It goes more or less like the "Guess the track" or "Guess the car" one, answer correctly and the next quiz is yours Typical questions are about anecdotes, rarities, records, etc

I start:

Can you name the only two left-handed F1 champions in history?

Ayrton Senna and Jenson Button?

And maybe a third one this year, me in our F1 1991 championship

Correct Martin

So you also are left-handed? With Greg that's already two aliens , wonder if we have some more

Your turn

I'm left handed too

But you play the guitar right handed?

This will end up like my former University soccer team, from 11 players 10 of us were left-footed and only one right-footed ... talk about statistics saying only 11% of population are left-handed

Damn it's hard to find a question

If you already have one Alberto, don't hesitate

Easy Martin, ask a question about F1 2012 or 2013. It'll be impossible to answer for our Bible

Lol JP

An easy one: Who has been world champion in both the top open wheel and motorcycle series?

JP

John Surtees

I don't know if it's too easy or not

Why did Alberto Ascari missed the Bremgarten GP in 1952?

Mmm because he took part in the indy 500 that year?

Let's see if Guillaume knows this, maybe he is too young :

Which former motorcycle rider was known among the paddock as "elbows" due to his ability to touch with the elbows in the ground when leaning the bike extremely?

Ruggia ?



Ben Spies also wears this nickame, always riding the elbows out

Yessir, It's Ruggia, well done

Spies is no doubt a great champion, but let him try that with slicks from the 80s

Who designed the wonderful chicanes at the Osterreichring and Zandvoort at the end of the 70's ?

Herman Tilke?

Tilke designed the modern A-1 ring, but what Gui asks happened earlier ... damn this is a hard one. So far Gui 1 - Google 0

Probably Satan.

Ok big clue, it was a driver

Hmmmm I was thinking about John Hugenholtz, but he wasn't a driver

Quote :

Probably Satan.

And he was a world champion (and even needed the help of another world champion for Zandvoort)

Lauda?

He's the one who helped for Zandvoort but not the main culprit

Stewart ... always concerned with safety?

No
He was at the head of the GPDA at that time,and that's my last clue
