That is a good start mate.

4WD
inboard front discs

Larger tyres on the front wheels...

Care to take a stab at who made it and the best result it got? (in an F1 race, but not a Championship race)

[Miguel]

I'd say it was designed by Colin Chapman. I think it's the successor of the high-winged lotus 49 that won Graham Hill his second championship. For more detail, I'll have to google.

EDIT: It seems it's the Lotus 63, designed by ACBC. The best result was a 2nd by Jochen Rindt at Oulton Park, after which both Hill and Rindt refused to drive the car again.

I like your style Miguel

I hate google!

So, this is a Lotus 63 - ran concurrently with the 49 as they developed 4WD just as Aero was beginning to come good.

Ronnie Peterson took a 63 to 2nd at the Oulton Park Gold Cup in 1969.

Over to you Sir

OK, this is probably an easy one. Well, it's probably too easy by using google anyway.

The classic european GP's are often considered to be the Italian, German, French, British and perhaps Belgian GPs, together with Monaco. However, since the first Formula 1 world championship took place in 1950, only the Monaco GP has taken place in the same venue. Of these, only the French GP is absent in the current calendar.

Could you please list the different circuits that have hosted the French GP since 1950? Bonus points: what's atypical in the "Grand Prix Legends" simulator, based on the 1967 season?

As a motivator, here you have the mythical Arnoux vs. Villeneuve duel:

Again off the top of my head..no google or wiki here...

Reims
Rouen @ GPL*
Le Mans Bugatti - where the actual 67 race was held
Dijon Prenois
Circuit de Charade - Clermont Ferrand
Paul Ricard
Magny Cours



GPL rules

That's flawless! Perhaps a tad on the easy side.

[matt21]

Can we get a new question? Would be nice!

[CMSMJ1]

Oops..sorry gang.. didn't twig it was my go.

For an easy one then - I can recall at least two drivers with an arrow style helmet design that were virtually identical designs, but in different colours.

Can you name them? What links them?

[lotus7]

Carlos Pace , Emerson Fittipaldi - Both Brazilian ?

[CMSMJ1]

You have one of the guys...and the reason..but they do not have the same helmet design..

[lotus7]

You have one of the guys...and the reason..but they do not have the same helmet design..

CArlos Pace , Pedro Diniz ?

[CMSMJ1]

Good arrows Lotus7. =D>

Yes, the same helmet design and raced 20 years apart... I do not know why Pedro had the same, so I'll assume as a mark of respect for his deceased countryman.

ALso - Luciano Burti and Enrique Bernoldi had very similar designs..but not identical.

Over to you...please, a good one that google does not know the answers to....

[lotus7]

OK
Quick one - on my way home , so can't think -
