OK, Mark Donohue is of course the correct answer to the question as it was formulated, but he was indeed in seventh position on the grid, two seconds behind Jackie Stewart on pole, but ahead of Jo Siffert, Emerson Fittipaldi, Ronnie Peterson and eventual winner of both heats, Mario Andretti.

The rear end of the grid was a who's who in American racing at the time with Peter Revson, Tony Adamowicz, Swede Savage, the Unser brothers and AJ Foyt dead last, nine seconds behind Donohue. Toe and heel was not really AJs forte.

Mario won an at the time staggering amount of 39 400 USD for his two heat wins, peanuts by today's standards of course.

Sorry matt21, but I have to give this one to Gary for the motivation!

Buy the way this thread is mess :]
For what it's worth, I instantly recognised Rudi Carraciola and it was not a hard one to pick if you're interested in and read about motor racing history.

And for the person who posted "Cheaters..." and suggested that "image Qs are void from now on..." the picture in my latest question is on my server and I have renamed the file to that it doesn't give away the driver's identity.

That's not exactly hard to do. :roll:

In which country was a sportscar series held which was based on a locally built spaceframe version of a monocoque Tiga ( Tiga approved and with Tiga chassis plates ) and what engines were used in these cars ?

Please ask an F1 or GP question. We don't want this to wander to LeMans and CanAm!

I did qualify it by linking Schenken and Howden Ganley to F1 - Is that no close enough ?

There seems to be no interest in the question or the inquirer has given up. So I post a quick one to get going again.

Which Formula 1 race boasts a ridiculous amount of marshal posts compared to all other races?

Ridiculously small or ridiculously large?
Because AFAIK Spa would have smallest number and Monaco -- highest count per distance.

Ridiculously large!

I'm asking absolute numbers. And Monaco is wrong. It has 27 marshal posts and is relatively low on the list. But the marshals are very well equipped compared to other races. They need to fish out all the broken down cars by crane. :lol:
