To get things going, here's one:

Interviewer: "Did tyres play an important part today?"
driver: "Oh, absolutely. You see, they keep the wheels from touching the ground . . . "

Name the driver, and Brits must also name the interviewer.

Spot on.

I think that means it's your turn to ask a question.

OK then. Everybody knows of the six wheel Tyrrell with 2 pairs of wheels at the front but which F1 manufacturer built one with 2 pairs of wheels at the back?

March & Williams.

There was a joke picture of a Ferrari with 2 sets of wheels on a single axle, much like the Auto Union in the 30's (and the odd Indy Car).

I should have been more exact - I wasn't thinking of wheels on the same axle!

Alan Raine has it so, over to him

A nice follow on to the 'Ehrlich' theme. Here's a set of questions of increasing difficulty for you.

o Who was the 'Ehrlich' - full name please. [easy].
o What was Ehrlich's area of specialization - need to be pretty specific please. [still relatively easy].
o When Ehrlich left car racing, what two motor racing disciplines did he/she turn to. [little trickier].
o What was the name of the British manufacturer Ehrlich partnered with in the early 1980s. [pretty tricky].
o Ehrlich had an individual who went on to race touring cars later in his career driving for him in the early 1980s - what was his name and who was his primary sponsor at the time. [very tricky].

Go for it !

Davyboy,
Wouldn't it be better to wait until the previous question is resolved before posting another? Otherwise it becomes extremely difficult to follow.

General question: Is the idea that the person who answers the question posts the next one? Or am I thinking of other similar threads elsewhere?

Neve drove one of the Lotus 73s which passed through Ehrlich's hands. But I guess the other name you're looking for is Ian Ashley

Yes I was looking for Ian Ashley.

Good call on the Neve Lotus 73 (Monza 75). I should have clearly stated Erlich's own designs.

Erlich had some good drivers in his cars!

OK I'll carry it on.

2 drivers hold the record of the longest gap between entering a GP.

Who are they and how many years was it between entries.

Off the top of my head, Jan Lammers must be one of them. I'll need to dig the net for the other.
