When I was almost there with Ricardo and the 1983 season, can I have a go then?

Beside the BMW-turbo, there was another 4-cylinder in F1 that year, which finally came good when they changed supplier of the turbo-unit itself, to what make?

[CMSMJ1]

Would that Be Brian Hart's turbo motor? No idea what they changed ref turbo suppliers so a wild stab in the dark..

Am happy for whoever gets the turbo bits right to take the Q...I'll go do some looking but off the top of my head I'll say Brian Hart and he changed to KKK turbos

Brian Hart's 415T is correct, but they switched to another make than KKK towards the end of the season,
which yielded points for both Warwick and little Bruno.

Holset?

Correct, British stuff, why Rory Byrne's Toleman came out looking good for 1984 with one Ayrton Senna driving.
He could have won at Monaco, but that's another story.

Your go C-C!

[CMSMJ1]

Well done Cooper...I'd not have got that =D>

[cooper-climax]

Thanks, more of a lucky guess really.

OK, an easy one:

What was the first Formula One Championship race won by a mid-engined car, And what was the last won by a front engined car?

The first mid-engined car victory was achieved in Argentina during the 1958 season when Moss, with worn-out tires, ran non-stop in a little 1.96 liter Cooper-Climax T-45 to defeat the mighty 2.4-liter Ferrari 246s


In the 1960 season, the Italian Grand Prix is held on the Monza banked track, British teams boycott the race on safety grounds. Ferrari score hollow victory - the last ever front engined Formula One win.

[cooper-climax]

Absolutely correct Belatti, and an extra gold star for the historic detail, Although it was a T43 not a 45. (I think perhaps my prejudices are showing with that question. )

Over to you.

[Belatti]

Thanks Coop!

My question:



Who is the guy Ayrton is grabbing from the neck?

[Belatti]
