Guys, can you double check this for me, i don't think it was Gimax, Carlo Franchi attempted to qualify the Surtees-Ford at the Italian G.P, but didn't qualify proper (28th fastest time)

[MikeM]

I think he was Gimax?

Gimax was Franchi?

[Fish_Flake]

I think you misplaced the date to the answer of the Renault question, 27. Renault debuted in 1977, not 1979, especially when it would have earned its first pole months before it was formed as it stands.

[Adam43]

That is correct. I had to change an aswer from a mistyped 77 to 79. Did the worng one. I'll edit the above so it is right.

Must admit, i submitted 1977 as an answer too

Jabouille won the 1979 Silverstone gp.

[Super Tourer]

We have as the reference for 1978 Monza race:

'Monza Surtees Gimax Gimax Surtees TS20-Ford 18 28 27 DNQ'



It may have been Carlo Franchi's pseudonym, but I haven't found any reference to that.

[Super Tourer]

Sorry Adam, that may have been me with the typo

Can you take it.....

[Knowlesy]

Yes! YES!!!

[jclab]

Question #28: I have that exact picture in my Monaco GP book and I could see that the Lotus driver is Graham Hill #9 and not Jo Siffert who had #17. This is from the 1968 Monaco GP.
I'd be very surprised that the same picture with Siffert instead of Hill existed.

[Knowlesy]

Same here jclab!
