F1 Quiz Chain

[Tozza Mazza]

Haha, well done X, your go!

[andrew]

Giovanna Amati was 1992 not 1991, my mistake.

[xpensive]

On the concept of odd sponsors, a cottage manufacturer sponsored a March in 1974, sponsor, driver and race please?

[HampusA]

Västkuststugan - Swedish GP - Reine

[HampusA]

How many times in the history of F1 has there been half points?
When was the last time there was half points awarded, not counting 09 Malaysian GP?

[Ciro Pabón]

Five. Not counting Malaysia 09, four. Not counting Australia 1991, three. Not counting Monaco 84, two. Not counting Spain and Austria 75, zero.

So, last time before Malaysia, Australia, 1991.

From memory, of course.

[HampusA]

yea obviously

your turn.

[xpensive]

As the 48 hour rule is in effect, while HampusA should learn not to post before anwering one correctly, here we go;

There was a varity of sponsors in the 70s and 80s, one of the more mystifying was a Caribbean hotel, sponsor, car and year(s)?

[Giblet]

The team was ATS. The hotel was Hotel Freeport. The years were 1979 and 1980.

[xpensive]

Sorry Gibs, mods are not allowed on this here thread, therefore I go again;

Name one toy-car manufacturer sponsoring an F1 team, along with car and year(s)?

[marcush.]

Matchbox ,Surtees 1974/75(Pace /watson
March 1976 John Day modelcars Long beach
Tamiya lotus 102b 1990

[beelsebob]

Hot-Wheels, Williams, now.

[xpensive]

OK marcush, I was actually thinking Surtees as Matchbox was title-sponsor, your go!

[Giblet]

Sorry Gibs, mods are not allowed on this here thread, therefore I go again;

Not sure about that one =D> I think simply the fact I am a google ninja is better justification for quiz slamming my attempt.

Much like the Caption Competition, there are no rules and no winner.



This gives me an idea.

[marcush.]

this one is quite a bit too easy so I come up with two questions:

There were a lot of new teams at the start of the 90s but one had a rather unusual test driver selected for the rollout.
Team and Name of the driver,please.
Yamashina ,former technical director of Toyota F1 has a quirk about his first name ,how come?
