Still no takers ? OK, my final clue... if nobody gets it after this... then I guess we'll have the first unanswerable question in the quiz !

The answer is in a 2 page feature in one of this year's Karting magazines. Now get up off your derriers and find it !

As people are having such trouble with this, I think that this is close enough that I should give it.

He banned the most successful Italian kartists from competing in karting. It meant that Italy's best drivers were not allowed to represent their country at world level. His reasoning was to make way for new blood... but most thought it was to prop up a rather suspect junior formula of car racing. A pretty sad state of affairs that set the country back quite badly in terms of driver development and ruined the careers of many promising talents. Luckily the policy was revoked a few years later. Those affected were called 'the senators'.

OK Ensign, over to you.

OK - I may have understood the answer - but Formula Junior stopped in 1963 and your question related to 1968? Possibly too many G & T's this afternoon!

When you refer to Grand Prix are you also including the pre-world championship era ?

Guy Moll indeed. Marcel Lehoux, who won a minor GP before Moll, seems to have been born in France before moving to Algeria. But Moll was Algeria-born.

Are the words "old" and "git" familiar, Duncan?

Our friend davyboy is obviously one of those blinkered souls who are of the opinion that motor racing history begins in 1950 ....

OK, try this one. In the early 50's a rule (for a single meeting only) was applied to stop "reckless driving".

What was the rule, and which person connected with modern motorsport was one of the first casualties?
