Sergio Rinland on one of the Arrows cars...err...1999 ish?

[xpensive]

no takers?

I give a hint: the other innovation was also in CF and at the back of the car....

Well marcush, John Barnard designed the first full-CFRP gearbox (in the back of the car) for Arrows on the gorgeous 1998 A19, why I agree with CMSMJ1 that it was a post-Barnard Arrows, perhaps Mike Coughlan's 2000 A21 with front pull-rods?

[marcush.]

Rinland?No,sorry.

x,you are on the right path but I´m not llokking for the Tech director ,nor the chief designer but the leader of r&d .the first part to be installed as a full carbon suspension meber was a front trackrod in 1991! ...

undoubtedly Barnard and possibly Coughlan had a lot of input in the development .

the year was 1993 ,team Mclaren ...btw.


x was quite close so I´d say he should go on !

[xpensive]

Don't know if I really deserve that but anyway, this one should keep you web-jockeys busy for a while;

Which F1 driver walked around the Nordschleife, 22.8 km, in preparation for the 1971 German GP?

[strad]

Off the top of my head it sounds like something Stewart would do...Many used to walk the traks or ride around on bicycles in the olden days. I could picture Hill or Peterson either one as well..I'm gonna guess Stewart.

[CMSMJ1]

I'll go for Emmo - Mr Fittipaldi. He was a first time Nurburgring driver in 1971 wasn't he?

[xpensive]

Naaah, not any big name like that, not european or south american either.

And Ronnie was far too lazy and unfit to do anything like walking 23 klics.

[CMSMJ1]

OK then...had to google the starting line up...and a Swede springs out at me who would have been a rookie - Reine Wisell.

You love your Nordic brothers X...and they are not European to you are they?

[xpensive]

I wish, but Reine, then 30, driving a BRM was more interested in the Marlboro-ladies at the time, think the pacific!

[xpensive]

Right, in order to avoid the humiliation of the 48 hour rule, it was of course Howden Ganley who took the 3,5 hour stroll.

Let's try another one, a little easier;
When Mario Andretti had taken pole at Monza in 1982, he did something spectacular to please the tifosi, what was that?

[strad]

Haven't got a clue...Coming back and putting the dog on pole should have been enough.

[xpensive]

Haven't got a clue...Coming back and putting the dog on pole should have been enough.

Mario should have won that race with his 800 Hp moving chicane for a car, which surely would have sent the tifosi straight to 7th heaven, if it wasn't for that sticking throttle, how stupid is that, but what did he do after Q?

Clue; It wasn't stage diving.

[marcush.]

ferrari won the constructors title comprehensively in 1982 btw and also in 1983...ferrari should have won the drivers titles in 1982 with Pironi or Villeneuve .

[xpensive]

Ok...Mario made smoking donuts in front of the tifosi stands, drove them mad, but imagine Alonso doing the same today?

I leave the quiz open for anyone with an intelligent Q, marcush?
