Re Phillip Island Classic Im afraid you are wrong. At PI you turn left out of the garages to join the track.... in the photo they would clearly turn right out of the garage to find the track. I do go to other tracks apart from PI you know. |

I think this is the only part I know - Is it Sandown raceway as there appears to be horse racing track in the infield?

You got the difficult bit. For those who have not picked the driver I was after he didn't do too bad at Le Mans. Oh, and he is an Aussie. Just sayin'. Last edited by E.B; 3 Apr 2021 at 06:23. |

Personally, I have no idea who the blighter is, I guessed he would be Aussie but could find no one to match your description. I suspect that the correct answers came from those who recognised him. Eddie Cheever has the right record re- GP's and Indie races, and with your last clue has a track record at Le Mans. I would have rejected Eddie as it is clearly not him in the picture. So I have failed the exam without even an honourable mention. Any vacancies Gerard?

Non, je ne savais pas, mais c'est dans l'âme anglaise de voyager je suppose. De coloniser aussi!
I found your driver, was around at LM in '74 too. Another clue for others: during Q he was faster than me but his engine blew before ours (#4343). Its not my name you're looking for, no Gerry'Mo on the entry list! |

I think you should never lower your guard… Remember l'admirable Nelson, the battle is not over. Not yet. Reste prudent, mon Ami.
So, at last you found VS too? Very good question from EB, kudos! |

Re my last who am I question, an interesting article about VS the man, his career in F1, F5000, Indycar, Le Mans etc.....including why he has a love of the Talbot Lago 26C he now drives (very quickly I might add) that goes back to 1955 was published in our VHRR mag.(link below) The car for those anoraks amongst us, won 2 Australian GPs in the hands of Doug Whiteford.

Not sure about the car but might it be at Shelsley Walsh? It looks like I imagine the start would have looked like back in the day.

Not a Cooper, RBS has (as usual) come in with the right answer, and reckons there will not be any others.
A challenge EB? |

It seems we now have an Indian group inside the Stupido Club. Hawk Eye, Agile Rabbit and Gerry'Mo… Birds of a feather…
