The Weslake V12 powered the Eagle F1 team from 1966 – 1968, for 18 races, scoring 1 win, 2 podiums, 2 fastest laps, and 13 points. :D
Apparently a Weslake V12 was also installed in a Brabham BT39 in 1972 and was tested but never raced

I wasn't sure about that one. I've seen references both ways.
119 lapsIt's a lot more than that. I was talking about the testing prior to the 2010 season, starting end of season 2009 that is.
You never mentioned 2009 Wats-on, you only said 2010.I thought I said preseason 2010... Any way, that was not such a big difference. ;-)
Only joking with you Wats-on. :tease:Ok, no problem.

Giancarlo Baghetti
First "official" ::) win was the 1961 French Grand Prix on July 2nd but he had won two previous "non championship" grand prix's (still a big part of f1 racing in the 60's)
The previous 2 races were Syracuse on April 24th and Baples on May 14th.
That is correct. Since I rephrased my question 23 hours ago, full points.
I reckon it's Maserati, they pulled out of F1 at the end of 57 after Fangio won the WDC due to financial problems. The 250F cars still raced in privateer hands for a couple of years but the official team was gone.
Jack BrabhamWow, that was quick! Still: 3 points. Well done.

The Austrian driver Dieter Quester. He had one start, in Austria in 1974. He drove for Surtees.That's the one...
Hans Herrmann in the BRM crashing at the '59 German GP. He was unhurtI consider that a correct answer.

This is a guess before I check stats, but RBR?
Correct.
I'm guessing Techniques d'Avant Garde TAG(Porsche) engine that Ron Dennis persuaded Mansour Ojjeh to develop in 82, as a rival to the new wave of Renault & Ferrari turbos, for his Malboro Project 4 at McLaren.
Ain-Diab CircuitActually I was looking for Monza, 1922. But since this answer is correct, too, you get the points. ;)
Built in just 6 weeks in 1957
Juan Manuel Fangio broke his neck at Monza (1st Lesmo, I think) in 1952. He had driven a 500 mile race just before, and was exhausted. His exhaustion was blamed for his crashing his Maserati A6GCM.Yeah, it was Fangio I was looking for. But the reason he was exhausted is not correct. Try to expand the story about that.
I think Mansell also broke his neck in a Formula Ford at Brands Hatch in 1977.
To accomodate the King and Queen of England who could not attend on the Sunday.Darrell,
To accomodate the King and Queen of England who could not attend on the Sunday.Darrell,
do you have a source of that?
Sadly no, that was a guess as I figured maybe the majority of the British and the Church might get p*ssed off with the monarchs attending an event on a Sunday! I spent a fair bit of time trying to track this one down. I now know more about what happened at Silverstone on May 13, 1950 than I care to!This is correct, though.
Sadly, both answers are incorrect... The first F1-race was run in september 1956 (@Dare) and the first F1 race in 1947 was not Pau. That was the first race of the French Championship, but not the first F1 race of the year.
Look earlier in the year. Much earlier... ;)
Interlagos is not correct. It was in Europe and it was winter (big hint!)Sadly, both answers are incorrect... The first F1-race was run in september 1956 (@Dare) and the first F1 race in 1947 was not Pau. That was the first race of the French Championship, but not the first F1 race of the year.
Look earlier in the year. Much earlier... ;)
In that case Interlagos but I can find no reference as to what the track surface may have been. I'm thinking maybe concrete due to the probable shortage of materials for asphalt leftover from WWII
ps..this really is fun trying to run down some of these answers. I'm learning a whole lot more about F1 in the process! :good:
Yes, that was what I was looking for.
Are you referring to the Swedish Winter GP? Held on a track of ice at the frozen Lake Rämen, on Feb 9th 1947.
Chanoch NissanyYup.
phil Hill blue and white at USGP 1959Actually the blue and white Ferrari in the 1959 USGP is not correct, since the team was renamed into North American Racing, thus not being Scuderia Ferrari. Besides there were 4 GP's for NAR.
Mike Hawthorn green at Argentine GP in 1953
Olivier Gendehien yellow at Belguim GP 1961
This is correct.

The nominated tyre for the series is Avon A11 compound cross ply.
FIA Rule #1: Whatever Ferrari does is ALWAYS legal! ;):DD :DD
A little bit late, but all right, you earned the point for the very complete answer.
Ferrari's wing has been outlawed now anyway, however their argument for being allowed to use it runs something like this:-
The rule states the rear wing must be no more than 950mm above the floor of the car. On the Ferrari wing Gurney flaps on top are 30mm above that limit. Their wing is engineered to make the Gurney flaps part of the rear wing support. They therefore argue the wing's legality as part of the wing support, which doesn’t fall under the height restrictions.
The highest number ever used was 208, used by Lella Lombardi at the 1974 British Grand Prix. The number adorned a Brabham but it qualified in 29th, netted a DNQ (there were only 26 spaces on the grid) and therefore doesn't count with regard to Wats-on's question.More then correct!
The highest number that ever started was 136, used by Rudolf Krause at the 1952 German Grand Prix (every number used in that race by F1 cars had three figures).
Edit for further information: Rudolf's car was a Greifzu BMW Eigenbau. He qualified 23rd but retired on lap 3 for reasons I could not determine.
The highest number to ever finish a race was 135. Ernst Klodwig's amusingly-named Heck BMW finished 12th and last in the same race, 4 laps down on the winner.

Yeah, and asking a question well in your own language is difficult, let alone in a foreign language.
But if I ask the question wrong and you give the correct answer to the question, I still consider it correct, because you answer the question correct.
I try my best. Thanks. :D But also credits to you all, for keeping the thread alive. ;)QuoteYeah, and asking a question well in your own language is difficult, let alone in a foreign language.
No worries, Wats-on. You do far, far better in English than most of us could do in Dutch. :D

Correct.
Yes Tonio did get a lap infront of Narain, but I think he lapped him because Narain pitted during safety car periods rather than Tonio finding a whole lap on his teamate on track.
Not sure what you want here?It is what I wanted to hear, so...
Both began in pre-war racing.
Both employed Fangio, who won WDCs with both.
Both raced in front and mid engined eras
Both built 8 cylinder engines that were regarded as the most powerful of their time.
Both have been in and out of F1 over the years.
Both were more successful in the past than in their most recent incarnations.

I think Arturo Merzario drove a Ferrari 156 in the FIA Historic Formula One race at Monza. It was a former Phil Hill car. He drove in honor of the 50th anniversary of Hill's win at Monza.I cannot find Merzario in the TGP / HFO. The driver is correct, though. And with Phil Hill you are very, very close.
Oops, I forgot to tell you this is correct... Thought I did.
Arturo Merzario at Monza in the HGCPA - Phil Hill Trophy race, part of the 59th Coppa Intereuropa Storica Monza. He drove an ATS 100GP in Class 11 - Formula 1 pre 1966 1.5 litre multi-cylinder rear engine cars. Phil Hill also drove the ATS 100GP, which was a vrtual copy of a Ferrari 156, to 11th in the 1963 Italian GP at Monza.
Here is Arturo in the car in practice.

How about Bernd Rosemeyer?That was not on the Avus ring, as far as I know, and it was before the Formula 1 existed.
....a 1929 AustinPerfect, exactly what I was looking for.
"The chief qualities of a racing driver are concentration, determination and anticipation", he said "A 1929 Austin without brakes develops all three - anticipation rather more than the first two, perhaps."
Fuel pump problems. They didn't even start the race.Correct. Good searching!
There were only 2 cars in his class (Class D). Barber (Class B) and Eyre (Class C) each had 4.And correct!
Correct.
Jan lammers, 1982, as a replacement for the deceased Giles Villeneuve.
He was approached to take over the Ferrari just before the first practice at the 1982 Dutch GP at Zandvoort, however he broke his thumb after crashing during the first practice, in his usual Theodore car, so Patrick Tambay got the Ferrari gig instead.
For poor old Jan this was the second time that year he missed getting into a top F1 car, he was asked to stand in for Alain Prost in Detroit following the Renault driver's crash at Monaco, but it never happened - Prost recovered in time to take the start.
I think Jan had the potential to be a race winner, even possibly a champion, in a decent car. He still holds the record for the highest grid slot for any Dutch driver, 4th in an ATS/Ford at the 1980 American GP on the Long Beach track.

"It was only on Thursday that I realised that I had never been quickest here at Spa".Something like that I was looking for, yes. So I'll consider it correct. (And at that time it was a kind of joke, knowing Schumacher never made one...)
OK, probably not the answer, but it gave me a little chuckle to re-read it :)
When he left in 1980 after only one season he said it was because of the large number of mechanical problems on the car and the fact that he felt the team blamed him for some of the accidents.Yep, that covers the aswer I had in mind. Well done, Darrell!
On returning in 1984 the McLaren team was now run by Ron Dennis and the car was powered by TAG-Porsche engines.
Correct.
No the old Nürburgring-Nordschleife at 22km is not the longest F1 GP track, it's second to the Pescara Circuit at 25km. Pescara was used just once for an F1 GP in 1957.

The Benetton B194 was thought to have traction control, electronic aids were banned for 1994 season.
The FIA found launch control in the cars computer software but could never prove it, or any traction control, was running in a race.
Too obvious, perhaps, but correct. Although even Ascari and Damon Hill did race motorbikes before switching to cars.
John Surtees
(Too obvious to be right, but the only one I could think of besides Barlini ;) )
By using the drivers leg to direct the flow, the regulations were not contravened regarding movable areodynamic devices.Correct again.
Known internally as the RW80 it is widely called the "F-Duct" system either due to the shape of the air intake or the fact that it is beside the F of the Vodafone logo
Three times is correct.
3 times? He started in his own car 97 which retired at 42 laps with a fuel leak, he then had a spell as a relief driver in the 55 car for 13 laps before handing it over to Andy Linden, then he took over the 98 car for 44 laps passing that car on to Gene Hartly; neither of these cars finished the race either.
Because of the very high temperatures at the race that year, with track temperatures exceeding 130 °F (54 °C) half the drivers in the race used backup drivers. In fact the heat was so bad that driver Carl Scarborough died from heat exhaustion, at the infield hospital, after retiring from the race.
Phil Hill, who was a great sports car driver, too.That is correct! And excuses for the long time it took me to respond. :lazy: :lazy:

Both of them have driven Tyrells in WDC F1 races, but only Jody has driven the Tryell P34 six wheeler, he gave Ken's radical car it's only win at the Swedish GP in 1976.
It was the March 2-4-0, an experimental six wheel car that was never raced, that Ian tested at Silverstone in 1977.
