Idk if this is too hard or too easy... Anyway, what car is this?

Just stop for a bit and behold the above image. This is the shitbox in which Mario Andretti won that monsoon-race at Fuji in 1976, the race where Lauda chickened out and xpected everybody else to do the same. Think about it, the man had some cojones.

[marcush.]

funny that Andretti stepped back from his Lotus seat after race 1 in 1976 and competeted in two races with his old Parnelli and even scored one point with it...then returning to Lotus for the remainder of the season..The Andretti Chapman relationship did not get off too well ...

[ced381]

Who's helmet is that?



Sorry if my questions are too easy, I don't know as much as you guys about F1.

[Poleman]

I believe its Nick Heidfeld's 2009 helmet.

If im correct anyone can take my turn and have a go next!

[ced381]

You are correct, but I'm not taking the turn; my questions are way too easy lol!

[xpensive]

Right, so I take the chance to redeem myself on the Tyrrell 005 debacle from yesterday!

The Tyrrell 006 was the first model-number car for the team, as opposed to the previous 001-005 just indicating a serial number, one-off chassis so to speak.

The 1973-006 was little more than a slightly upgraded 1972-005, but the tub had one distinctive feature, what was that?

[marcush.]

do you speak of the open monocoque design ?

[xpensive]

No, there were no difference between the 1972-005 and 1973-006 in that respect.

Clue: It had to do with the 1973 rules.

[xpensive]

OK, slow season I guess; The 1973-006 tub had the added crash-structure on the sides, it's easily spotted on the pictures from that season.

Try something else; When Alfa Romeo first presented their 1.5 turbo V8 in the early 80s, it had one striking feature shocking the racing world, what was that?

[Caito]

The turbo? xD

[747heavy]

8 Cylinders?
