I suspect EB has been looking at my FB posts on the friends of Silverstone group.

Ayrton Senna. As it happens we have had the running of a Championship Race on every day of the week. (The Indy 500 races when they counted were always run on the 30th May regardless of what day it fell, weather permitting) Also South Africa was run on Jan 1st New Years Day on a few occasions. I do have a list of all (73) non Sunday run races along with the day of the week each was run and the race winner. |

The question stemmed from realising that we have three Saturday F1 races this year thanks to Vegas TV scheduling, plus Saudi being run on Saturday due to Ramadan and Bahrain (The weekend before Saudi) also running on Saturday for logistical reasons. I looked online to get more info on Saturday races history and found a number of articles on Autosport etc and and basically got sucked in. |

I have had a number of replies, all correct, after a fashion, but every one is missing the point.
Alright a clue they are odd-one-out, but why? : |

I remember Peter and yourself winning. as I recall, a 100 mile sports car race at Silverstone in his Lotus 11, 15 or similar number, and interviewing you both for 3 Counties Radio.

I did not ask which was the Odd-One-Out, merely that it was an O-O-O puzzle.
For 5 of the cars all you need is the pictures, no technical, etc, etc. One is different for what is under the bonnet, and of course they all have an engine. |

There appears to be no such thing as a simple puzzle. Whatever the intention, you lot manage to muddy the waters.
Pictures of six cars ALL unique in one respect, three blindingly obvious, two obscure, one needing a little technical knowledge. The final two though similar in appearance, have different NAMES, and therein lies the answers. A double Golden Bauble to the first fully correct answers. There is no fun in setting a puzzle that no one can answer, (EB), I do not set out to deceive, merely to challenge. So please, all you 'Lurkers' out there come along and join the Puzzle Club, membership is free, and you will be in some very good company. Cheers, Uncle Bob. |

356 has trumped you all with four correct answers so far. Sorry Gerard, he can't join your club just yet.

I'd like to re-apply for membership of the Stupido Club, as I can't even spot the "three blindingly obvious" ones!

As to Talbot being "french only non UK make" I wonder what JR could say about this… Or should we read Talbot-Lago and correct both the question and the answers. Just noticed that "blower" or "compressor" is not the correct answer when some is looking for "super-charger under the bonnet". Pffff.
