Autosport mega Christmas quiz

dr-baker · Post by **dr-baker** » 25 Dec 2009, 09:12

As is tradition, Autosport likes to post a mega quiz to pass the time on Christmas Day, and as seems to be traditional, I like to post links to online motorsport quizzes. I did not put any effort into answering the qustions (i.e. no use of Google, Wikipedia, or any other online help) and guessed all the answers I didn't know.

Link: http://www.autosport.com/christmas/quiz2009/

My results:

You scored 56/101 (55.45%).

F1 only: 21/30 (70.00%).

Non-F1: 35/71 (49.30%).

The Annual Rejects Autosport Mega Christmas Quiz Championship (ARAMCQC)!

(Overall points decide initially. Where there is a tie, F1 only scores count. Where that is tied too, it's whoever posted sooner. And if only a percentage is posted, that is listed separately underneath. And this will also be posted in the first post of the thread for ease of reference.)

I had 70% (F1)/ 30%(rest)

But there are only three drivers joining F1 from GP2 2009 season, who would be the 4th guy?

Luiz Razia as a test driver?

You scored 51/101 (50.50%).

F1 only: 24/30 (80.00%).

Non-F1: 27/71 (38.03%).

That is one hard quiz

[quote = 'Autosport']You scored 55/101 (54.46%).

F1 only: 22/30 (73.33%).

Non-F1: 33/71 (46.48%).

Nicely done, Baker. Beat me by one point.

Flunked!

"You scored 42/101 (41.58%).

Non-F1: 21/71 (29.58%).

But then Alvaro Parente raced in GP2 this year too, so that would make 5 of them.

But Parente doesn't have a race drive...otherwise you'd have to include Luis Razia in that list and make it 5.

Nor does Grosjean either they made a mistake or they know something we don't

I doubt it. I adopted the Economics A-level tactic of answering every Q with the middle choice & scored 50%.

I'm happy enough with that, F1 is the only motorsport I follow.

54/100 for me, with a score of 22/30 in the F1 section. I had no idea of most of the non F1 answers as they were mainly to do with junior single seater categories that get next to no coverage here in Australia.

I think he is a 10 year old talking to us from 15 years ago via the rip in the space time continuum HWNSNBM accidentally created when he crashed into a tyre wall at his local kart track.

OK, so it was a terrible programme, but I enjoyed it as a 10 year old, and recently rewatched a few episodes on YouTube just to remind myself how terribly appropiate those programmes are for 10 year olds...

You also have glasses, which make you even more knowledgeable.
