In the space of two consecutive WCGP races, which driver had the right to have a foot on all three steps of the podium?

Yes - I was wrong about von Trips - both his wins were in the sharknose. and the Bimotore never got higher than 4th - and was driven by Nuvolari anyway. Just thought it was interesting:-)

The German GP of 1960 was not part of the world championship so didn't show up in the stats I was looking at. Interestingly, the win at Zandvort was the first for BRM - and as far as I can see, the only one they achieved in a front engined car

And to fool me further I now see Trintingant drove for both BRM and Cooper in 1958.

You are right. Gurney one once in a Porsche 804, and twice in the Weslake Eagle. Both rear engined

It was interesting researching it though. Learned a lot

I was going to ask the running time of John Frankenheimer's classic 1966 movie 'Grand Prix', but .... Sad

So it'll have to be

Who was first disqualified and then a winner of a grand prix?

D-Type, a few questions.

What is a Zerex Cooper-Bristol?

The Zerex Cooper-Climax sportscar was a converted T53 F1 car.

Why were you researching Aus. and NZ for a Brabham win in a front-engined car when you rejected these races?

Brabham won the 1955 Australian GP in his rear-engined Cooper-Bristol. This could be mistaken for a front-engined car in some sources.

I wonder what the French name is for the Tunis GP?

This is all great fun.

The Zerex Cooper-Bristol was Roger Penske's baby. It was in fact from this car - a damaged Cooper Penske bought and converted to a "sportscar," even adding a seat - that we got The Unfair Advantage.

To Sean.
No, that is the Zerex Cooper-Climax.

To D-Type
The French say 'GP de Tunis'
The Italians say 'GP di Tunisia'

Carol,

Sorry, no. It wasn't a reinstatement - it's more devious than that.

Probably wrong, but is it anything to do with Schumacher crossing the line under a stop/go penalty?

D-Type · Posted: Thu Nov 11, 2004 00:32 Post subject:

No, more straightforward than that.

Hint: The question said 'grand prix' not 'Grand Prix'

Was it Senna in 1990 - who was initially refused entry to the championship after a spat with Balestre - then when finally readmiited - won the first GP at Phoenix?
