OK, good enough, Ron Dennis was a mechanic for the Cooper team.

Your go mike!

Hmm... I'm not so good at this..

Which was the first F1 car to be sponsored by Martini?

[Sombrero]

It's an easy one for a Chris Amon fan... TECNO PA123 ! The sponsorship started already in 1972 with Nanni Galli and Derek Bell.

Started well with 6th place in Zolder 1973 (first race with Chris Amon, first and only point for Tecno), ended poorly.



Here seen with Nanni Galli on the wheels doing some early front wing aero testing...

[mikeerfol]

Correct, your turn!

(btw anyone else who gets a virus notification when you go to this thread?)

No virus.

Can you name all the 12 cylinder engines that Chris Amon drove during his F-1 racing ?

Hang on a second. Yes Ron started out as a spanner man for Cooper, but he moved to Brabham in 1968. We can see Jack Brabham's helmet so the pic must be from his time with the Brabham team?

Apparently the pic shows Tauranac, Dennis and Brabham http://richardsf1.com/2012/03/01/exclus ... -tauranac/

Maserati (Cooper T81, 1966), Ferrari (312, '67, '68, '69), Matra (MS120, '71 & '72), Tecno (PA123, '73) and BRM (P201, '74).

[Sombrero]

Brilliant antiuser, especially for the Tecno engine. Your turn !

[antiuser]

eep sorry, turns out I'm good at answering but not so good at asking. someone else can take it if they want.

First sponsoring in an WDC F-1 race (except the races at Indianapolis). It's a tough one, just find out last month...

[antiuser]

Gold Leaf Team Lotus in Monaco 1968?

[Sombrero]

I too thought that but it's slightly older.

Hint : that first sponsoring was about US$ 250.--

[mertol]

Lotus had firestone and shell sponsors in 1967?

[Sombrero]

That sponsoring is actually older than the F-1 3L ... and not bound to Chapman !

[matt21]

I heard something about Graham Hill having secured some sponsorship. But I´m not quite sure
