Graham should be qualifying in the top 10 on the grid

Okay duders...

Q43. How many laps did the Argo JM 19 survive at Le Mans in 1986?

Next is a long one (oo-er) :

Q44a. Who set fastest time in practice for the 1959 German GP at Avus?

Q44b. Which driver emerged almost unhurt after being thrown from his BRM in the race?

Q44c. Why was the race so unusual?

Hmm. 1959 German GP.

Okay.

Avus, Berlin August 2 1959.

Fastest lap in practice Tony Brooks (Ferrari Dino 246) 2m05.9secs.

Hans Herrmann was the unfortunate pilot. Or should I say fortunate? Have you ever seen the footage? The car rolls, throws him away, and then does the decent thing and smashes itself into tiny little pieces. He was a very lucky boy that day.

He got away with minor abrasions.

The race was unusual in that it was run in 2 heats of 30 laps, results being extrapolated from the combined times.

Herrmann's accident took place on lap 7 of the second heat.

Good to have you back, Graham.

I HATE it when people get it so quickly - it means I have to get off my arse and find some difficult ones. Have at thee, varlet!

Aaaaaanyway, you're right. Damn you.

What are doing up at 2:00am? And what am I doing up at 4:30am?

How about the Le Mans Q.?

'Tis not the answer I have, Jarama. I mean, you're a long way away. Things like this totally throw me 'cos I don't know whether you're making errors or my answers are wrong

Can anyone cast some light over this sorry scene?

I find that, as now, I wait until smart people answer these questions, it makes them much easier for me.

What was peculiar about the Silverstone circuit in the 1950 RAC GP?

Err... didn't they race the wrong way round once - maybe that was 1950. Or am I thinking of another circuit?

Dave, I'm sort of going round in a cycle - I did a few 1950's onwards questions and I'm onto Le Mans and some rally soon.

According to one of my info sources:

number: 89
drivers: M.Birrane-Martin Schanche-T.Kleppe
car: Argo JM19 Zakspeed
group: C2
engine: 4 in line, 1'7 turbo
tyres: GoodYear
weight: 845 kgs.
max.speed: 301 km/h. in qualif.
qualif.time: 3'53"49 (37th. fastest)

and finally, you're right: broken engine at first lap... I read something wrong in my first research about it... maybe I was in a hurry.

So invader has his chance, without using it.
Maybe that Graham is right, but my guess is that in 1950 it was still used as an airfield by the RAF.

From Copse corner you headed down the runway and turned left out to Stowe. From stowe you headed back up the runway to a harpin which was directly in front of the left hander to Stowe. The hairpin took you back to Club. To avoid giving the drivers a fright the two corners were screend off with canvas sheets.

They changed it for 1951 onwards.
