Alright when was that again.....?

[Derek Tatters]

Yes, its Jarama, so I guess its your turn Eckhart.

I saw the car a couple of years ago, just after it had been restored. It looks much nicer in real life, especially compared to that awful 1st version.

 

[Andreas Hultgren]

I saw it last year during the Ronnie Peterson Historic Grand Prix. You can see a pic I took of it in this thread

 

[Derek Tatters]

Very nice pictures there. I was a big fan of Ronnie Peterson when I was growing up. 2 years ago I was working in Sweden for a week, not far from his hometown of Orebro, but sadly that was before they opened up the Peterson museum. Not had the chance to go back for that yet.

Sorry for going off topic a bit but if anyone is reading this thread and can get to Brands Hatch, there is a big historic race meeting this Saturday to Monday. If the Donington entry is anything to go by it should include the Amon, BRM P160 and Maserati 250 that were posted here recently. And lots of sportscars too of course. I just hope the weather is better than the torrential rain we had for the last 2 years the Masters series was here!

 

[Eckhart von Glan]

should be easy, from the year when drivers were forced to sit more or less in front of the wheels (don't think they liked the curbs that year - ouch)

 

[Andreas Hultgren]

Riccardo Patrese in his Brabham in 1988... but I have no idea about the track Hockenheim maybe?

Edit: No wait, it is '86 I think.

 

[Resi Respati]

Track: ???
Year: 1988
Driver: Riccardo Patrese
Car: Brabham

 

[Andreas Hultgren]

Ok, here is my final answear:

Riccardo Patrese, Brabham, 1986 and the track iiis San Marino?

 

[Eckhart von Glan]

tick off Patrese, tick off Brabham, tick off 1986, track still to be solved (weather anyone?)

 

[Andreas Hultgren]

So Riccardo Patrese, Brabham, 1986 is correct.. hmm... weather.. hmm... Spa?

 

[Eckhart von Glan]

Bingo, it never rains in California, but it almost always ...

over to you

 

[Andreas Hultgren]

This one might be tricky but I will not give anythng away just yet

 

[Eckhart von Glan]

Lotus Ford for sure, defending champion, year 1971

Reine Wissell from Sweden who took Jochen Rindt's place after the latter had died at Monza, so it should be season 1971 carrying Rindt's number 1. track is a guess (as usual): Zandvoort, they had a rain race there that year, Wisell however was disqualified for "going in the wrong direction" ts ts ts

 

[Andreas Hultgren]

Correct on all points but the track. Think outside the box

 

[Eckhart von Glan]

Mosport Park in Canada would fit the bill.

can't be Britain, cause Wisell was assigned the ill-fated turbine-powered 56B for that race.

 

[Andreas Hultgren]

Not Mosport... But the other one you mentioned is near, near, near I will let you guess some more and then maybe give it away with a hint

 

[Eckhart von Glan]

Green Hell would fit, too.

 

[Derek Tatters]

Is it one of the non-championship races? Oulton Park?

 

[Andreas Hultgren]

Ah, now we are thinking in the right direction Close but not close enough but you do not have to travel outside of Britain

 

[Maurice Hurkmans]

Cadwell park perhaps (just a big guess)...?

 

[Andreas Hultgren]

Nope
