Who, what, where & when (09)

[Reynard]

HereÃ*s the next renewal of Who, what, where & when.

The answers for Teaser 8 are as follows:

WHO: Jason Plato
WHAT: Renault Spyder
WHERE: Oulton Park
WHEN: 1996

Congrats to John for being the first person to solve the complete conundrum!

At the moment, John leads the league with 3 correct answers. Stuart is hot on his heels with 2, while Speedy, Claire and Racefan_uk each have 1.

Cos gets a brownie point for correctly pointing out that Tiff Needell was Will Hoy's passenger in Teaser 7.

HereÃ*s another one to test the grey matter on.

Again, the clues are all there if you know where to look and what's going on. Remember ñ I will need those four pieces of information from you:

WHO: driver name
WHAT: just the car this time
WHERE: circuit
WHEN: the year the action took place

So hereÃ*s the next little teaser ñ good luck!

[Racefan_uk]

I don't know, go away from the forum for three days and get left behind!
At least you're back on my sort of ground with Sportscars!

Driver - Frank Biela (Although in THAT car, it might be someone else!)
Car - Audi R8
Circuit - Le Mans
Year - 2001 (It rained that year!)

How far off am I Reynard?
:confused:

[John]

Think Biela has the yellow car - but dont quote me on that.

The curbing looks Le-Man'ish

Definately the Audi R8

Gonna say Kristensen 2001

[Reynard]

Damn... Just when I try to be obtuse.

Actually, it's NOT Frank Biela - but another BTCC driver.

All the other details are correct though, but yeah, the rain was deliberate on my part. Any sportscar fan worth their salt would have figured that! :)

I post new ones as soon as each has been solved. They get on my back if I don't...

[Reynard]

You got me there..... While I was replying to the first one. Guess I'm going to have to be on my toes just a wee bit more.

Bah, that was too easy. :(

Well done to John - once again, though Racefan_UK was very close and gets credits for naming one of the other drivers on the crew of that car.

Full answer is:

WHO: Tom Kristensen
WHAT: Audi R8
WHERE: Le Mans
WHEN: 2001

Still up for grabs is credit for getting the third driver of the crew.

Next one will be posted shortly.

[John]

In that case third driver was Pirro - first name is Emanual (spelling??) I think??

Was wrong about Biela having the yellow car then was I?! Oh well!!

[Reynard]

Yeah, that's the one.

Emanuele Pirro - did the second half of the 1989 F1 season at Benetton after Johnny Herbert was "rested" by the team.

[Racefan_uk]

I did say it might have been one of the other drivers too, problem was, I couldn't see the helmet properly!
I actually had Kristensen down as my first choice, but then questioned myself and went for Biela! (Kicks keyboard across office!)
;) :rolleyes:

[Reynard]

Well, you can always try the next one - I'm about to post it! :) This one's guaranteed to have you all tearing your hair out...

*LOL*

[John]

You can see enough of the helmet to make out its TKs - white and red circle type design.
