RedEyes504 · Post by **RedEyes504** » 28 Dec 2016, 11:24

You scored 24/50 (48.00%).

F1 only: 4/7 (57.14%).

Non-F1: 20/43 (46.51%).

With the help of some lucky guesses

You scored 19/50 (38.00%).

F1 only: 2/7 (28.57%).

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

About as well as I usually do. Pretty poor on F1, I know.

2017 edition of the quiz

My results:

.
You scored 20/50 (40.00%).

F1 only: 6/11 (54.55%).

Non-F1: 14/39 (35.90%).

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

As always, I did as well as most fans...

Not too bad considering I knew the answers to three questions and was extraordinarily lucky with the other 20 I managed to get right...

Well, well done on beating my score!

I managed 25/50, so exactly 50% then.

Jan Magnussen · Post by **Rob Dylan** » 29 Dec 2017, 01:49

And after a year in which I watched the F1, the F2, the Euro F3, the GP3, the FE, and the MotoGP, I got...... 18 / 50.

dr-baker · Post by **dr-baker** » 07 Jan 2018, 14:06

Not as many people attempting this quiz as last year. I realised over the Christmas break that I had not collated a table of last year's results, so I am listing both years together. (Those who gave a full breakdown of their results in one table, those who only gave a total score listed separately as they would not have been able to have been separated in the eventuality of a tie, where F1 results are given precedence.)

I'm a bit late to the party but I actually managed to get 26 right when I did the quiz in December. Don't remember the F1/non-F1 stats but what I do remember is that the non-F1 questions went better for me, largely thanks to the easy WRC questions.

I seem to remember guessing every single one of them and getting 11/50, and either 5 were F1 and 6 were non-F1, or the other way round. Either way, I did really, really shite. Just in the spirit of this forum I guess.

You scored 21/50 (42.00%).

80% of these were complete guesses.

You scored 25/50 (50.00%).

F1 only: 6/11 (54.55%).

Non-F1: 19/39 (48.72%).

So annoyed I didnt count up the number of F1 drivers correctly ...

This is a reminder to myself that the results table for the latest quiz needs updating with recently posted results...

Autosport have a pre-season testing quiz up, which contains Rejects as some of the questions and answers!

I scored 10/16.

8, and it was mostly guess-work.

dinizintheoven · Post by **dinizintheoven** » 11 Mar 2018, 12:59

Another 10/16 for the pre-season tests. That's about where Force India should be in their moving slab of coconut ice... but aren't.

Coconut ice ice baby

11/16 for me, due to me double-bluffing myself a few times

10/16, midfield mediocrity for me.

CarloSpace · Post by **CarloSpace** » 17 Jul 2018, 19:12

It's not quite Christmas yet but Autosport has done a fun little quiz about everyone's favourite 1990s backmarkers. I expect high scores from you people :vergne:

https://www.autosport.com/f1/news/137475/can-you-name-these-1990s-f1-backmarkers

I scored 17/20 - identifying reject helmets and car numbers aren't my strong point apparently.

dr-baker · Post by **dr-baker** » 17 Jul 2018, 19:43

16/20...

Aha! I got 17/20, although it's not all good news- I misidentified both Luca Badoer and Pedro Diniz...

12/20. Misidentified quite a few.

Fred Mayo · Post by **Fred Mayo** » 18 Jul 2018, 07:14

I got the full 20 out of 20, but feels like I got lucky with a couple of the driver identifications. :badoer:

Jan Magnussen · Post by **Rob Dylan** » 18 Jul 2018, 09:27

6 out of 20, and I got two lucky guesses from that! Shameful.

Ducktanian · Post by **Ducktanian** » 18 Jul 2018, 13:04

14 out of 20. Better than I expected!

Post by **Nuppiz** » 18 Jul 2018, 17:43

18/20.

Had to guess a couple of ones, but the time spent modding GPM2 has not gone completely to waste...

Enforcer · Post by **Enforcer** » 18 Jul 2018, 17:49

14.

I'm not good at identifying helmets.

Turbogirl · Post by **Turbogirl** » 18 Jul 2018, 20:02

20 out of 20.

I found the quiz a little too easy, actually...

DNQ - because I haven't got enough page views left to see the quiz until August...

yannicksamlad · Post by **yannicksamlad** » 19 Jul 2018, 08:30

I managed 19- dropped a point as I couldnt remember what one driver's helmet looked like , so had to take a 50:50 guess ;the other option had a similar helmet, and I failed to identify the exact year..so I missed .
Entertaining stuff

dr-baker · Post by **dr-baker** » 25 Dec 2018, 18:37

So here is this year's traditional Autosport Christmas quiz offering.

I scored 22/50, which, apparently, is "not bad, but you could do better." Not given a breakdown between F1 and non-F1 questions this year, unfortunately .

Waris · Post by **Waris** » 25 Dec 2018, 21:03

23 out of 50 was more than I expected, because I knew almost nothing. I must've gotten a couple ones right through pure luck.
