Motorports trivia/quiz

Dieter Quester, I think, flipped his M3 on its roof at Avus once?

Correct

Haha awesome I hope he got some bonus points for style

A more difficult one, let's see who besides Frank "The bible" Verplanken can answer it:

Which was the only GP ever disputed in Formula One in two heats? Note, I'm not saying a race stopped and continued, but a race planned from the beginning in two heats, like TC races.

I'm guessing this was a non-championship race.

Nope, it was absolutely official

I would have thought of a non championship race as well. Now, the only one I can think of is AVUS 1959.

Correct JP!

Another one:

Which was the longest track ever raced in the F1 championship? Not as obvious as one might think

Pescara :p

Everybody tends to say "Nordschleife!" at first

True

Petty Enterprises has won the Daytona 500 nine times -- seven of those by Richard Petty. Who won the other two?

.

CORRECT 

For which team was John Surtees driving for at the time of winning his only F1 World Championship and why?

Was it him that drove for American-based NART that ran private Ferraris because... Il Commendatore didn't bother with the races overseas?

Ah wait, it was a protest.

Quote :

Ferrari won the 1964 World Championship by competing the last two races in cars painted not in the traditional Rosso corsa but in white and blue, as these were not entered by the Italian factory themselves, but the US-based NART team. This was done as a protest concerning arguments between Ferrari and the Italian Racing Authorities regarding the homologation of a new mid-engined Ferrari race car.

Yeah, directly taken from NART Wikipedia  

Yep, was NART  

Why was the 1985 Monza 1000km finished early (Before the full distance was completed) ?

Very big storm all race long, until a finally a tree fell on the track

Yep, Was dry but there was a gale blowing about, Can tell what year I've got to now Frank   

I Think that was Lancia's only Group c win or was that Mugello

Neither    Rothmans Porsche in Mugello and Kremer in Monza

Lancia won at Spa 1000km

They won when the race was cut short after the Stefan Bellof crash   

See you did know
