Right, let's make things a bit easier, how many pedals did the electric-clutch Lotus 76 have?

Just two, if i remember correctly. The clutch was operated through the button on the gear stick, isn't it?

It was indeed, but the number of pedals didn't reflect that fact, there was more than two, but how many and why?

Oh wait! was that the car with two brake pedals (for left or right foot braking) and a clutch pedal for start only, plus of course the throttle?

You got it Matt, there was four of them!

As the late Colin Chapman put it at the time; "It's like sitting with four aces on hand in cardgame"

Well, it didn't quite turn out that way.

Your go!

I have no idea whether this is an easy question or not. Forgive me for being naive about it.

Which was the first race that the times were recorded to a thousandth of a second?

Now this is a very good question - I remember reading the pole position time for the 1980 US grand prix in Long Beach was quoted to a thousandth of a second and that times at previous GP's of the 1980 season weren't. Not sure if it was the first outright though

The 1971 Questor Grand Prix held at Ontario speedway in California, although non-championship, it was an F1-race?

Spot on, X =D>
I have to mention that the first championship race to be recorded as such was the last race of the 1971 season. It was the 1971 United States Grand Prix. It is unbelievable for me that it was that long ago when they introduced this timing system.

Your Go!

An easy one: The 1971 Questor Grand Prix had an amazing starting grid, littered with F1, USAC, TransAm and CanAm champions, but only with one driver who had won both Indianapolis 500 and Le Mans 24h, while another one was about to do just that.

Who were those two drivers?

Graham Hill and Mario Andretti?

[xpensive]

You got one of them right, but can you be a little more specific, who had both wins and who was about to?
