My answer comes from this...

https://youtu.be/xRtjeWsIscc?t=2044

Which I watched a few weeks back and when I saw the question immediately remembered their discussion about the weight of the paint, the desire to keep it light and conflicts with Ron's wishes for it to look perfect.

The entire video is fantastic.

If my paint answer is correct. I defer the next question to whoever Greem says gets the extra points question correct.

Interesting video indeed. Maybe my 2kg thought is just the paint on the monocoque because that very clearly says 7kg for the car.

In Brazil the roll hoops were a plain paint free grey colour.... for Imola they were painted white. Apparently a Ron instruction on the basis of sponsor decals would stand out better against a white background. At Interlagos no decals but by Imola very small Boss stickers were in place on the roll hoop (also driver name).

Mentioned in the video that Richard linked above.

Ooh, you guys are *good*.

Correct, 7-7.5kg per coat, and correct, the roll hoops got painted. The conversation from the video:

"What happened?"
"Ron happened"

E.B., you're up!

Not that I am aware of and certainly not what was in my mind.


The latter couple also did what the connection is in a rather special / unique way.....

I thought I was clever here and was going so say that each pair shred the same crash helmet design, but a quick google search showed me that apart from 'The Hills', they didn't!

Sort of on the wrong track. Without trying to give too much away, it has a numerical angle

You started off so well with that part. One of each pair managed to race a car.... all you need to add is something rare they all managed in their careers featuring something rare. The other one of each pair did similar but moreso.

All three pairs ended their careers with the same overall 'achievement', although one pair was particularly unique in the way they achieved it.

Previous comments I have made could also be clues. Maybe its square (ish) maybe its round or oval, it means nothing.

Plus its numerical

I'm going to take a punt here without looking anything up...

Did they all race with the number 0 at some point in their careers?
