Autosport mega Christmas quiz

Ducktanian · Post by **Ducktanian** » 27 Dec 2014, 11:29

You scored 22/50 (44.00%).

F1 only: 5/8 (62.50%).

Non-F1: 17/42 (40.48%).

That's not too bad. Most fans did as well as you...

Another 44%-er.

This would probably explain my Délétrazian performance...

A mere 18 points, with only 3/8 on the F1 questions, and those three will be the ones I knew the answers to. Pretty much everything else was a shot in the dark.

I was on a similar level as most other posters too, having to randomly guess most of the questions because Autosport's restrictions on viewing articles meant that I couldn't read most of the articles they were asking questions about. It's frustrating when you want to read up about some other motorsport series, but the restrictions means that you can only look at one or two articles and then you've run out of page views.

You scored 17/50 (34.00%).

Meh, I know nothing obviously.

You scored 21/50 (42.00%).

F1 only: 6/8 (75.00%).

Non-F1: 15/42 (35.71%).

Some damn lucky guesses there.

Here is my card:

You scored 21/50 (42.00%).

F1 only: 5/8 (62.50%).

Non-F1: 16/42 (38.10%).

That's not too bad. Most fans did as well as you...

Here is this year's Christmas Day Quiz offering from Autosport. My score?

You scored 30/50 (60.00%).

F1 only: 6/6 (100.00%).

Non-F1: 24/44 (54.55%).

Also got 2/3 on the FE questions and 1/4 on IndyCar! :shock:

Aerond · Post by **Aerond** » 26 Dec 2015, 00:30

You scored 14/50 (28.00%).

F1 only: 6/6 (100.00%).

Non-F1: 8/44 (18.18%).

Oh my, you really weren't paying much attention this year...

Well... makes complete sense as I tend to not pay any attention to other than F1

Ducktanian · Post by **Ducktanian** » 26 Dec 2015, 08:57

You scored 18/50 (36.00%).

F1 only: 6/6 (100.00%).

Non-F1: 12/44 (27.27%).

Even with some lucky guesses, this is still a worse score than last year

dinizintheoven · Post by **dinizintheoven** » 26 Dec 2015, 09:09

You scored 18/50 (36.00%).

F1 only: 4/6 (66.67%).

Non-F1: 14/44 (31.82%).

That's not too bad. Most fans did as well as you...

And considering I only knew the answers to five of those, and two of them were Formula E, that's not too bad on the "lucky guess" front.

You scored 27/50 (54.00%).

F1 only: 6/6 (100.00%).

Could've done better, but I have no idea on most of those F3/British F4 questions. :facepalm:

Really think to only have 12% of the overall quiz on F1 is pretty poor actually!

Yeah, because to have a magazine focussed on multiple motor racing championship not to heavily focus on one series in particular... :facepalm:

(Although does the ! indicate that you are actually joking???)

That's a very good score! Well done! But have you actually done anything this year other than watch motorsport?

Over the recent Christmas period, I observed that I did not do too badly relative to everybody else in this. So I gave myself a bit of work: compiling 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.)

Either I'm not that interested in motorsport as I thought I was or (more likely) the memory's being clouded with far too much extra junk after all these years. That's the only way I'd explain that DNQ of a performance...

Ales are good. Nothing wrong with them.

Not an Autosport quiz, but a Buzzfeed quiz, trying to identify F1 stars from the 1990s. Quite easy if you ask me, although some of the commentators at the bottom are complaining that some of the drivers are not 'stars'. I would like to think that we would disagree with that analysis...

Couldn't been easier. 18/18. Only paused in the Nakano and in the Blundell question.

Post by **Nuppiz** » 17 Mar 2016, 19:25

Yeah, too easy. Most of the portraits are from 1994-98, and I happen to be very familiar with that era due to GPM2. In fact, I probably know the exact year for each photo...

dr-baker · Post by **dr-baker** » 17 Mar 2016, 22:57

Yeah, I thought this quiz might be a bit easy for a specialist fan website...

Another full house here. The only face I didn't recognise was Tarso Marques, who was one of "the other ones".

Naming the year would have added an extra layer of complexity, but I too probably would have ended up getting all of them too!

I did the same, but with Gianni Morbidelli, who I thought looked a bit like Pedro Lamy. :facepalm:

Happy Christmas everybody! As per usual, Autosport have their normal Christmas quiz up this year. And I disappointed myself:

You scored 20/50 (40.00%).

F1 only: 3/7 (42.86%).

Non-F1: 17/43 (39.53%).

That's not too bad. Most fans did as well as you...

But there again, I did just rush through, randomly guessing most of them.

Hmm, could have done better.

Could be worse, but not brilliant either (bit embarrassed by the F1 score though :facepalm:
