For god's sake, we're not all cricket connoisseurs nor entomologists. Are you hinting on damn game with wood sticks or insects?

EDIT: Last time a driver won race without tyre change and refueling while refueling being allowed? (Piquet)

in test cricket (the game)they only ever had a tie 2 times. the first one was on the date given, but not in melbourne but brisbane. 335 weeks laten the monza gp was decided by 0.02seconds. so not really a tie there. But this is probably the answer.

In 2002, USGP was decided in 0.011.

So I stick to what I wrote - Last time a driver won race without tyre change and refueling while refueling being allowed?
(N. Piquet, Italian GP 1983)

Win with no pitpstop (no tyre change & no refueling). Isn't that a "tie".

The Syracuse GP (non-championship) on May 21st 1967 was a dead heat, two Ferrari drivers sharing the honors (Parkes and Scarfiotti to be exact).

My question then: Name the three shortest tracks ever raced at in an F1 Grand Prix! Feel free to guess if you're not sure. Feel free to google if you are very bored. :)

Folks please stay reasonable. No more bloody cricket!

How on earth is somebody to know what they have or not have. As far as I'm concerned they may stick their heads up their ass and find out who runs out of air first. Cheating would probably be done by eating breakfast beans.

This is a motor racing board and the topic is F1 Quiz!! Stick to F1 or GP racing please.

Monaco is correct, although the distance should be 1.95 miles (3.145 km) for the pre-1973 version of the track (no swimming pool section). Your other two guesses are wide of the mark however, try again! :)

Hint: One of them is a street track, not unlike Monaco. The other was used only once, very much unlike Monaco.

Zeltweg was not only flat, short and utterly boring, it was also extremely bumpy, probably the worst track ever used in F1. No wonder they never came back. Later the legendary Österreichring was built in the same area.

Zeltweg 1964:

Ok I'm in a bit of a hurry and can't think about anything obscure enough, but at the same time don't want to make you wait for the next question. So I'm afraid this one is quite easy.

Which was the last Formula1 car named after someone's wife?
