Where are these hugely knowledgeable experts? Not much sign of any on here at the moment.

Did you know that Alfa Romeo won the first ever round of the current Formula 1 World Championship?

No, its Vanwall. Farina was driving an Alfa, thats different. Could be Hawthorn and Ferrari.

I have to award another to RBS for Q1.

I am just surprised it took him so long.

I am getting some good answers but all wrong, thought this would be right up EB's street. It is a great story from the early 50's.

I followed GPs throughout the 1950's but cannot recall why it is well know!

Not Apicella, Gaze, Walker or Downing then… EB's street… related to Connaught? He's much too young for having any souvenir of the 60's!

Whoops, somehow I missed the question. Email sent. The only person I could think of with a bit of a story attached. If its who I think nothing to do with Connaught but more an associate of Varzi.

Varzi and Caracciola are not drivers of the 50s. I thought about Behra at British GP when the distributor of his Gordini failed but he did several laps, not a record. I think one part of the answer is something like two meters.

Forget I said that. The Varzi association was the driver I initially thought it might have been (but wasnt)..... Alfredo Pian who drove one GP for Scuderia Achille Varzi. He qualified 6th at Monaco, then later spun on oil into the barriers, breaking his leg, so unable to start. Never drove another GP. So wrong answer as driver RBS wanted actually did start a race. My second (correct) guess did as GerryMo suggests have a driver who managed a couple of metres on his only GP start.

Saw comb, grabs camera.

No ideas yet, it seems. It is simple Marque my words.

Initially it looks hard, but is quite simple.

How many marques can you find?

Here goes with a puzzle - some of it will be easy to place - but timing might be a challenge.

Who?
In What?
Doing What?
Where?
When?
- Why is the when wrong?
