You see, when a bloke who calls himself "Cooper-Climax" sees an early sixties Formula one car. He gets all exited, Thinks "This is my Era!!" and shoots his mouth off. Only a little later he'll stop, think, worry, and finally look something up.

can't blame you...

[cooper-climax]

Belatti,
Don't believe the first thing you read on Wikipedia,

Want another go?

OHH! Pretty! Shame about the modern roll-hoop though, people's heads were harder back then.

Serious geek-warning on this one, but get the load of it!

In 1971, there was a non-championship F1 race on Hockenheim, "Jochen Rindt Gedächtnis-rennen", which Jacky Ickx won.

Italian Nanni Galli came home fith in a March 711 for MrM, but with what engine?

[cooper-climax]

OI!!! Answer my question first!

But was that during March's dalliance with Alfa?

[Belatti]

Belatti,

This is not wikipedia:

BTW, Xpensive, you have to answer right before you can make a question.

[cooper-climax]

Sorry, I was just kidding with the Wikipedia crack. My point is that there may be more to the question than just looking up a race result.

[Belatti]

OK, Question:

In 1983, Alain Prost scored 6 points for second place at Brands Hatch. How many did Keke Rosberg get for his win there? and Why?

OK, this is very very stupid.
Keke Rosberg has never won in Brands Hatch for an official F1 race.

And what does Prosts 2nd position has to do with it?

[xpensive]

Keke Rosberg won a non-championship Formula 1 race in England in 1978, with a Theodore in the wet, afterwhich he said something like this;

"If I needed 100 points to get a seat in F1, perhaps I got one today."

But that was at Silverstone I think?

[cooper-climax]

I think I'm going to say that Belatti's got it.

What I was after was that Keke won the Race of Champions which was non-championship so didn't score any points.

[xpensive]

When did he win that, in 1983?

[cooper-climax]

Yep, 1983, the last ever non-championship race. As it happens, The Euro GP that Prost won was only arranged at short notice after the race at Flushing meadows was cancelled. Meaning there were three Formula one races in England that year.

[Belatti]

OK, thanks cooper!

I`ll answer this one, too
