Motorports trivia/quiz

Is it Montoya?

Nope.

Joe Dawson

Nope. Shall I give a hint?

Well Dawson did not finish the very first Indy 500 and won the second so how come he's not the one ?

I said the one prior to J. Villeneuve doing it, not the first one.

He was the first one but maybe not the last one.
Maybe someone like Rick Mears or similar who won a bunch of times.

BINGO

Prior to J. Villeneuve winning on his second attempt in 1995, Rick Mears won on his second attempt in 1979.

What car set the fastest time at the 1991 Le Mans 24 hours, and why did it not started from pole on race day ?

ps : I like that TWR sig Jason But where are the Silk Cut logos ?

He's from Detroit and the cool thing to smoke there is Lucky Strike

About the quiz: I remember that because that year my daddy died and the former Group C also apparently did ... at Le Mans the old Mercedes C11 was fastest but the first spots on the grid were reserved for Bernie's pet project, the 3.5 F1 engined crapwagons

An easy one when you have google ...

Who raced with his pet monkey in the cockpit? (At least until it almost cost him a fatal accident)

The monkey was named Jocko Flocko IIRC, and it was one of the Flock brothers who did the trick in a few NASCAR races. Fonty ?

Close enough, it was the other brother, Tim.

Jocko has the distinction of being (technically speaking) the only monkey to have ever won a Nascar race, as he was in the car

...and these crapwagons, going after the featureless name of "Peugeot", broke down after few hours in quick succession

Some drivers could argue with that statement.

Since nobody is asking any question, here is mine : Who was the youngest driver to ever race in the 24 hours of Le Mans (no Google allowed guys )

Michael Andretti ?

Not sure if he ever did Le Mans but, Stefan Bellof? (sorry if I butcher his name )

I Think Alex Wurz was the youngest winner , no idea who the youngest driver was

Alex Wurz was indeed the youngest winner, but none of the answers are correct so far

Hmm nice and tricky one Ant . Somehow I feel it is dating back quite a while ? Could it be Ricardo Rodriguez ?

The American Braun in an F430?

Ahh fail...Franky got it.

He was 17 in 1959 for his first 24 hours of Le Mans
