I don't have anything worthy ATM.
Maybe we could have some sort of question ticket?
I don't understand this ticket proposal. Anyway I think I have something.

Under the current definition and excluding the Indianapolis 500, what is the only Grand Prix to have been raced on an oval, what else was unique about that race, and what else was extremely rare but not necessarily unique?

German GP 1959 @ AVUS. The race was divided into two heats. And it was an all-Ferrari podium, just like the 1961 British GP just mentioned.

Given that I got the answer correct, here's my question for you:

Yeah but they want the right answer. I said Spa, based on the look and the houses at the side of the road.

Edit: Oh wait, is that really Spa? Looks like Aintree to me, it was a wet race in '61...
Oh, sorry I missed that edit. It was 1 h prior to dukeage. Sorry for making chaos.

OK, you've got it. :)

Hmm, I can have another go if you want, I have a couple more questions prepared... Unless someone else wishes to tell us the name of this 25.8 km F1 track?
