Touring Car Quiz?

[Brown, Jon Brow]

A new forum a new quiz


Untill 1999 the bodywork of super touring cars had to be identical in shape to the road cars. (except wings/splitters)

What bodypanels were allowed to be modified at the start of the 1999 season?

[Rusty]

Just A guess was it the Bonnets???

[Brown, Jon Brow]

no it wasn't

[lilmelvschilton]

aint got a clue then lol

[Captain VXR]

Doors/boot/dash?

[AndySpeed]

Doors/boot/dash?

Just name every panel on the car there why don't you! :rolleyes:

[BTCC2]

Spoiler

[Brown, Jon Brow]

I'll give a clue.

It's directly linked to pit-stops ;)

[BTCC2]

Side Skirts???

[AndySpeed]

I'll give a clue.

It's directly linked to pit-stops ;)

Fuel flaps? Or that bit of the bodywork anyway whatever its proper name is.

[Captain VXR]

How many studs on a wheel?

[sonic_roadhog]

wheel arches! made them look ugly tho.

Sonic :)

[Brown, Jon Brow]

wheel arches! made them look ugly tho.

Sonic :)

Correct

1998 http://www.stillphotography.co.uk/gallery/album39/btcc98_01


1999 http://www.stillphotography.co.uk/gallery/album40/btcc99_01

It made the cars easier to drive in the pit lane.

[AndySpeed]

wheel arches! made them look ugly tho.

Sonic :)

To be fair they weren't that bad! Anyway, looks like it's your go. :)

[sonic_roadhog]

ok, my BTCC knowledge is pretty thin on the ground so here goes. In which year did Derek Warwick win at Donnington park in the pouring rain?

Sonic :)

[BTCC2]

1998

[lilmelvschilton]

1999

[BTCC2]

1999

It was Muller and Cleland at Vauxhall in 99.

[AndySpeed]

ok, my BTCC knowledge is pretty thin on the ground so here goes. In which year did Derek Warwick win at Donnington park in the pouring rain?

Sonic :)

Derek Warwick was never won a BTCC race at Donington Park... :\

[PDS]

Derek Warwick was never won a BTCC race at Donington Park... :\

Del boy's only win was at Knockhill in 98 Round 20!

[AndySpeed]

Del boy's only win was at Knockhill in 98 Round 20!

Exactly, I knew 'Del boy' had won a race, I just knew that it wasn't at Donington strangely... I have memories of John Cleland going well and winning there but not Warwick

[PDS]

The wet Donington race from 98 was won by JC in the Vectra, Del Boy did well by finishing third!

So who got the answer right? Mind you it would help to get the question right first!

[sonic_roadhog]

told you my knowleadge was thin on the ground ;) :p

I was lead to believe he won in '98 at donny. ah well someone else have a go, I'm rubbish at this :D

Sonic :)

[lilmelvschilton]

lol

[sonic_roadhog]

Exactly, I knew 'Del boy' had won a race, I just knew that it wasn't at Donington strangely... I have memories of John Cleland going well and winning there but not Warwick

Done some googling and it was John who won, Derek came home third. Same race Mansell guest drove fro Ford.

Ok reputation somewhat redeemed - I'm outa here.

Sonic :)

[BDunnell]

PDS gets the next go, by my reckoning.

[PDS]

What about... Name the only British driver to win a round of 2001 ETCC.

[AndySpeed]

Matt Neal, Estoril

[PDS]

Matt Neal, Estoril

Correct. Closely followed by James Thompson in second place. James' highest place in the championship.

[AndySpeed]

Of all the manufacturer-backed teams in BTCC history, which manufacturer has had the shortest entry span?

[BDunnell]

Interesting one. I suppose Peugeot's one-year re-entry in 2001 must count, unless you think that its previous years as a works team should be added on.

[AndySpeed]

I mean the total number of years that a works manufacturer has competed in the series. So Peugeot doesn't count in this instance because of its involvement in 1998 and previously.

[Brown, Jon Brow]

Mazda

[AndySpeed]

Not Mazda

[SEATFreak]

MG?

[AndySpeed]

Nope

[swedishsundays]

Lexus?

[AndySpeed]

Lexus haven't actualy entered the BTCC as a works-backed team yet. It was Total Motorsport in 2001.

[SEATFreak]

I know ABG Motorsport worked with Total Motorsport Racing on the black Lexi of Kurt Luby/Tommy Erdos. But I am sure they weren't a works team.

Who was Total Motorsport Andy?

[AndySpeed]

I know ABG Motorsport worked with Total Motorsport Racing on the black Lexi of Kurt Luby/Tommy Erdos. But I am sure they weren't a works team.

Who was Total Motorsport Andy?

Yes you're right there, they weren't a works team. I think my last post was misleading, the way I said 'It was total motorsport in 2001 [who represented Lexus as a non-works backed team].

We are still looking for the correct answer.

[Brown, Jon Brow]

Proton? or
Audi? or
Mitsubishi?

[AndySpeed]

Not yet

Proton - 3 years
Audi - 3 years
Mitsubishi - 2 years

Although Mitsubishi is close its not quite the shortest

[BTCC2]

Alfa Romeo

[AndySpeed]

Yep, you got it.

Your go

[BTCC2]

Who stepped in for John Cleland after Cleland had broken his ribs? And what year was it ?

[AndySpeed]

I remember this - Cleland broke his ribs in an accident just before Russell at Snetterton in 1998 and so Flavio Figueiredo stepped in for a few races.

[PDS]

I remember this - Cleland broke his ribs in an accident just before Russell at Snetterton in 1998 and so Flavio Figueiredo stepped in for a few races.

Yes the two Thruxton races, Cleland was back at Knockhill.

[BTCC2]

AndySpeed is correct

[Brown, Jon Brow]

What year, track, car did the late great Will Hoy race in his final ever touring car win?

[AndySpeed]

At a guess I'd say sometime in 1998 when Hoy was racing for Ford. The team in the years before wasn't really up to it and I don't think he won since

[Brown, Jon Brow]

Year and car correct.

Track?

[PDS]

Silverstone.

[Brown, Jon Brow]

Yep

[PDS]

Who's next?

[Brown, Jon Brow]

As Andy Speed is off line you can have a go PDS ;)

[PDS]

Who stood in for James Thompson when he had his bad accident in his Cavalier at Knockhill in 1995?

[BDunnell]

Jeff Allam at Knockhill, then Mike Briggs for the rest of the season.

[PDS]

Well done. It was Jeff Allam I was after.

People seem to forget that he stood in at the last moment for Thompson.

[BDunnell]

This is a rather obscure question. All the meetings in the 1993 BTCC were televised on the BBC apart from one, the first Brands meeting. What was the reason the coverage was cancelled?

[PDS]

TV rights! Brands wanted the copyright and ownership of the TV coverage!

[BDunnell]

Not as far as I know. It was replaced by something.

[nik]

Something far more important like Tennis! :rolleyes:

Not a bitch at Oulton 99 and Snettterton 01 at all!!!!

[racer69]

off-topic, but who televised the BTCC round from Donnington (GP support) in 1993?

It features on the season review, and the highlights of the race were shown on TV in Australia during the season

[WSRfan82]

proton

[BDunnell]

Something far more important like Tennis! :rolleyes:

Not tennis. It was motorsport-related.

[BDunnell]

off-topic, but who televised the BTCC round from Donnington (GP support) in 1993?

It features on the season review, and the highlights of the race were shown on TV in Australia during the season

The BBC, as usual. It was shown the day after the race, with commentary from the wonderful Brian Jones (then the main BTCC circuit commentator) and Jonathan Palmer.

[racer69]

Interesting, the highlights in Australia shown during the 1993 season featured commentary at most rounds from Steve Slater (who narrated the 1997 BTCC review video), the Donnington GP round though was commentated by Brian Kreisky (of Videovison fame), no Murray in sight.

[SEATFreak]

Name all four drivers who won the Production Class Championship from 2000 to 2003 noting the team and car.

[Alfa Fan]

Easy

2000 Alan Morrison VIP Club / Bowman Motorsport Peugeot 306
2001 Simon Harrison HTML Peugeot 306
2002 James Kaye Synchro Motorsport Honda Civic Type-R
2003 Luke Hines Barwell Motorsport Honda Civic Type-R

[PDS]

I think waiting 5 days for SeatFreak to reply to this is long enough!

I think we need another question!

Name TWO F1 World Champions that have won a touring car race!

[Subaru WRX]

Mika Hakkinen at Spa (DTM)
Keke Rosberg (DTM)

[nik]

Jim Clark & Mika Hakkinen

[Subaru WRX]

frankly I am sure for Hakkinen but the 2nd one I dont know !!

[nik]

Jim Clark


^^^^^^^

That one.

[PDS]

Yes those will do!

Anyone of;

Jim Clark. BTCC.
Graham Hill. BTCC.
Keke Rosberg. DTM.
Mika Hakkinen. DTM.
Alan Jones. Aussie V8.

What about Motorcycle World Champions? Can you name ONE that has won a touring car race?

[nik]

Barry Sheene?

[PDS]

He's not British!

Barry is, the person i'm after isn't...

[nik]

You didn't write British in your initial question, so there! :p :

[PDS]

You didn't write British in your initial question, so there! :p :

It doesn't really matter, because Barry Sheene is not the answer! I was trying to give you a clue!!!!

[nik]

oh

Mick Doohan>? He American isn't he?

[Brown, Jon Brow]

What about Motorcycle World Champions? Can you name ONE that has won a touring car race?


Fray Bentos?

[cookingfat]

Fray Bentos?
Sad person!

Wayne Gardner! Australian V8's I think.

[PDS]

Wayne Gardner! Australian V8's I think.

Correct. And from a one year-old!

Come on AlfaFan, I think it should be your go!

[racer69]

Johnny Cecotto as well.

Graeme Crosby & the late Greg Hansford also won touring car races down this way after their international motorcycle careers ended.


Here's a question, name the last non-turbocharged car with a capacity of over 2 litres to win a BTCC round?

[PDS]

Found this layng around doing nothing!!!!

I would guess at a Rover V8!

[cos]

In the absence of an answer to the previous Q I'll ask another (possibly a bit obscure)...

Which BTCC driver's brother competed with some success building robots for "Robot Wars"?

[nik]

Anthony Reid's brother. And the robot was called 'Killerhurtz'.

[cos]

Correct! Ask away...

[SEATFreak]

In the absence of an answer to the previous Q I'll ask another (possibly a bit obscure)...

Too bloom'n right! :laugh: :p :

Of course! Should've known that! Essential info for every BTCC fan! :laugh:

Laugh's over now folks. Let us see how in touch with the BTCC-TV connection you guys are.

Which county does Rob Collard live, what is the name of his wife and who did she swap with on C4's Wife Swap?

[Alfa Fan]

Deborah

[Brown, Jon Brow]

County- Essex?

[PDS]

Which county does Rob Collard live, what is the name of his wife and who did she swap with on C4's Wife Swap?

Rob Collard lives in Hampshire with his wife Deborah (and their two boys). As for the family from hell they swapped with, I have no desire to remember their names!

[SEATFreak]

"No desire". Do you think if I used that the next time I didn't know things I could never know, that would be acceptable?

Never mind. In any case though your spot on with the first two, I cannot accept the answers as you did not get the final one right. I am putting "no desire" as a "don't know". I am not asking for the family name. Though I know her full name I will accept the wife's first name.

[cos]

The other family was Jan and Oli Melia...


Which BTCC driver's name (first and last) would win you the most points in Scrabble?
(I'm not sure I know the answer exactly, but it'll be interesting to find out!)

[Alfa Fan]

Erkut Kizilirmak which scores 38, which just defeats Fabrizio Giovanardi at 37.

[cos]

Erkut Kizilirmak which scores 38, which just defeats Fabrizio Giovanardi at 37.

I thought it would be Erkut as well, but I've found another one from BTCC history which can better 38...

[Alfa Fan]

Jean Christophe Boullion which scores 41

[tisme]

"No desire". Do you think if I used that the next time I didn't know things I could never know, that would be acceptable?

Never mind. In any case though your spot on with the first two, I cannot accept the answers as you did not get the final one right. I am putting "no desire" as a "don't know". I am not asking for the family name. Though I know her full name I will accept the wife's first name.

So PDS can get two of three answers right... cos gets one of three right.. and then it's cos's go next!!

SeatFreak, if you stuck to one answer questions, it would help!

[cos]

Jean Christophe Boullion which scores 41

There's a 45 and a 47 out there, that's the best I can do!

[Brown, Jon Brow]

Charlie Bultler-Henderson ?????

[Alfa Fan]

Only 33

[Brown, Jon Brow]

Here's another question

Why would I have a 2000 Ford poster signed by Menu, Ried and.....................................Gordon Shedden :?: ;)

[GRAVETT]

he tested at pembrey for the prodrive team in 2000

[Brown, Jon Brow]

he tested at pembrey for the prodrive team in 2000

That's not why Shedden signed my poster ;)

Maybe someone else out there has the same poster?

[GRAVETT]

i dunno im at a loss was it that ford had other championships also on the poster and as shedden was champion in the fiestas that year

[Alfa Fan]

Shedden drove a Ford in the NSC in 2000 at Croft.

[btracer]

Sod the other question I wanna know the answer to the scrabble one.

[cos]

Sod the other question I wanna know the answer to the scrabble one.

Joachim Winkelhok scores 47, that's the best I can make!

[PDS]

Joachim Winkelhok scores 47, that's the best I can make!

Spelt that way? Or with the c in Winkelhock in it?

[Brown, Jon Brow]

i dunno im at a loss was it that ford had other championships also on the poster and as shedden was champion in the fiestas that year

Yeah it was because Shedden won the Fiesta's

Menu & Ried signed under there pictures and Gordan signed under Rydell's :s
It was from the 2000 Birmgham International motorshow ;)

[racer69]

Found this layng around doing nothing!!!!

I would guess at a Rover V8!

Almost, but the correct answer is Mike Newman's BMW 635csi, at the Oulton Parl 1 hour race in 1987.

The other over 2L normally aspirated cars to win races that year were Tim Harvey's Rovers, Mike O'Brien's ADR Holden Commodore & Frank Sytner in the Prodrive BMW M3

[PDS]

Lets wake this up again!

With all this talk of record grids for 2007.

Where and when did the last race take place when there were only 7 starters?

[Alfa Fan]

Did Pinkneys Alfa make the start of the Super Sprint at Brands Hatch in 2001? Or was it just the 4 Vauxhalls and 3 Peugeots?

[PDS]

Did Pinkneys Alfa make the start of the Super Sprint at Brands Hatch in 2001? Or was it just the 4 Vauxhalls and 3 Peugeots?

You're right. Sorry, there were 8 starters, but only 7 finishers!

[BTCC2]

When and where was Tim Harveys last podium????

[cos]

Unless he got a podium in 2002 it was in that dog of an Alfa in the 2001 season... Oulton Park?

[BTCC2]

nope

[Alfa Fan]

Do you mean in BTCC? Or any series?

[BTCC2]

Sorry should have been more clear.

In BTCC.

[Alfa Fan]

Race 2 on the second Brands Hatch meeting of 2002.

[BTCC2]

Yes.

[PDS]

NEXT...

Did we get a final answer on the scrabble question?

[SEATFreak]

Here's one you may have to think about.

Name the only two circuits on the WTCC calendar that is also used by F1.

[tyreman2]

Here's one you may have to think about.

Name the only two circuits on the WTCC calendar that is also used by F1.
Monza-Magny course

[BTCC2]

Istanbull, Monza and Magny Cours. There are 3.

[Alfa Fan]

Monza, Magny Cours, Istanbul & Valencia. He said nothing about raced on by F1, only used!

[SEATFreak]

I admit I forgot Istanbul so you are quite right BTCC2. Actually three circuits host both F1 and the WTCC.

But "race on" "used", what is the difference? If F1 race on it, they use it too.

In any case it makes Valencia wrong AF surely as it is the Circuit de Catalunya in Baracalona that is the Spannish leg of the season I am sure of it.

[LiamM]

True but Valencia is heavily USED as a testing track

EDIT Techincally Mangy-Cours isn't used anymore either, they visit Pau this year

[Alfa Fan]

As usual its a hopelessly vague question by SEATFreak that means any one of 4 answers are valid! :D

[Brown, Jon Brow]

EDIT Techincally Mangy-Cours isn't used anymore either, they visit Pau this year

WHAT!!!!!!!! :s hock:

[LiamM]

WHAT!!!!!!!! :s hock:

http://www.fiawtcc.com/fiawtcc/championship/calendar_sea69.shtml

[PDS]

Now I'm totally confused!

Monza and Istanbul. Magny Cours, but not now because it's Pau! Valencia does F1 testing but is not used by F1 cars!!

So, is it four or is it now two!?

NEXT!

What bodypanels were allowed to be modified at the start of the 1999 season?
Ok, I'm behind on this thread. But anways, didn't the wheel arch rule change come up after it was discovered or revealed that BMW had been widening their wheel arches for years? Combined with the pit stop/tire change requirement, TOCA then allowed wheel arches to be widened?

I recall it sounded a lot like the Alfa/splitter/wing/rule change?

[captin 1 VXR]

[BTCC2]

Andy Rouse with 8 in a row is correct.

Yes Alain Menu won 12 races in the 1997 season.

The most races Yvan Muller won in a row was 3 !!!!!

[captin 1 VXR]

bmw history has no touring car wins in 85 only spa 24hour race

Correct..

1986 was the last year that BMW did not win a National Touring Car Championship!

If you include the ETCC. BMW have won a major Touring Car Championship every year since 1975

[racer69]

Whilst not the 'Australian Touring Car Championship' itself, BMW did win the 1986 Australian Endurance Championship, run to exactly the same rules as the ATCC (ie... Group A), with Jim Richards in the JPS BMW.

[PDS]

Whilst not the 'Australian Touring Car Championship' itself, BMW did win the 1986 Australian Endurance Championship, run to exactly the same rules as the ATCC (ie... Group A), with Jim Richards in the JPS BMW.
Was that a one-off race, or a series of races?

[racer69]

The 1986 Australian Endurance Championship consisted of 6 rounds, held after the completion of the 10-round 1986 ATCC.

The 1986 Australian Endurance Championship calendar was;

Round 1 - Amaroo Park 300km
Round 2 - Surfers Paradise 300km
Round 3 - Castrol 500 (Sandown)
Round 4 - James Hardie 1000 (Bathurst)
Round 5 - Calder Park 300km
Round 6 - Oran Park 250km


I'll have to do some checking, but from memory a BMW won the 1986 New Zealand Touring Car Championship as well.

[PDS]

Thanks for the information Racer69.
I look forward to your answer on the New Zealand Championship.

I have sent you a PM.

Found the answer, your were right PDS.

Graeme Bowkett won the 1986 New Zealand Touring Car Championship in a Holden Commodore, from Trevor Crowe in the Archibald Motorsport BMW 635csi. This series was held in early January prior to the Nissan-Mobil 500 International Series, which was won on points by Graeme Crosby/Lou Mackinnon in an ex-Frank Sytner BMW 635csi.

It wasn't meant as an attack! Just someone was bound to find a series win for BMW that you'd missed.

[PDS]

It wasn't meant as an attack! Just someone was bound to find a series win for BMW that you'd missed.

But as Racer69 has confirmed, I didn't! I asked for National Touring car titles, not an 'Endurance Championship'!

Keith O'Dor..

[captin 1 VXR]

right pds but who was second

[PDS]

If you mean who was second in the race that O'Dor won? It was his team-mate Win Percy.

This was the much publicised race where Julian Bailey and Will Hoy crashed out at Silverstone. When they changed the popular phase from 'The car in front is a Toyota', to, 'The car on it's roof is a Toyota'.

Does anyone know who also rolled his car at the same meeting?

mmmm i know tiff had a few spins and should have finished 3 ed but after 3 spins think he droped down to 6 th or seventh !

tim harvy or was it menu rolled coming out of bridge ( should know i wasa there marshalling )

[PDS]

Yes, it was Mr Harvey in his Renault 19!

[captin 1 VXR]

who crashed in to back of gravvet for the race to be stoped after his car had a small flash fire

[racer69]

Phil Dowsett?

[MBailey06]

I'm guessing it was Dowsett since I just saw it on Youtube with Murray's usual animated commentary.

[racer69]

Of course technically Gravett cut Dowsett off, the tyre wall doing the damage to the rear of the Trackstar Sierra, rather than the Corolla.

[captin 1 VXR]

yes racer69 ,,

Doesn't mention it on BTCC-Racing.com, Team Dynamics' website or Matt Neal's own site :confused:

[GRAVETT]

oops got it wrong , that car was from 1991. i have no idea who the third is

I'll agree with Jordan and Pinkney, but I'm pretty sure Neal didn't race BTCC until 1991 and Kaye 1992...

after some how work i think u right neal first race in btcc in a r kennedy racing RKR bwm witch is the pic i put up but i realy think he did one race in 89 but unless some one has a entry list for every btcc race in 89 could be a log and hard question :rolleyes:

Name 3 drivers from the 2006 BTCC who competed in the 1989 BTCC.

Dave Pinkney ran a RS500 #18 run by Terry Drury Racing, then changed to be run by David Bartrum now of Motorbase!

James Kaye raced the Demon Tweeks BMW in the first round finishing fifth in class B after a spin.

Mike Jordan entered class C with a Peugeot 309 GTi only doing 6 meetings, the first 4 then the GP and Birmingham events.

Matt Neal is not in any of the information I have on 1989!

[PDS]

I checked the 1989 entry list (http://www.btcc-racing.com/results/1989/1989entry.asp) and only two 2006 BTCC drivers are on there.

I know Neil does a brilliant job with his web-site, but not all the drivers from 1989 are listed there!
I can see at least 4 drivers missing, plus a driver-car combination..

But without his site a lot of this information would be hard to access.

[GRAVETT]

im prett sure neal did do a race in an m3 that year he also ran 1 race in 1990 white british gas m3 at oulton park.
i have a feeling kaye could have partnered cleland in 89 in one of the 2 driver events. i may well ( most probally be wrong )
so my final answer is
kaye astra
pinkney rs500
neal m3
jordan 309gti

But what was your answers to your previous question?

[PDS]

John Fitzpatrick 76
Armin Hahne 85
Win Percy 90
David Brabham 97
Rickard Rydell 98

[racer69]

Two others are Tomas Mezera and Allan Grice.

When did Armin Hahne compete in the BTCC? I had 6 on my mind when i posted the question (Fitzpatrick, Percy, Grice, Mezera, Brabham & Rydell).


But what was your answers to your previous question?

The 3 i had in my mind were Jordan, Pinkney & Kaye.

[PDS]

When did Armin Hahne compete in the BTCC?
Armin Hahne stood in for Laurence Bristow in 1991 at Thruxton!

Name the last (and possibly the only) car to win the BTCC in its only year in the championship!


That's hardly an easy one !!!!!!!!

1989 Vauxhall Astra GTE ???

[PDS]

That's hardly an easy one !!!!!!!!

1989 Vauxhall Astra GTE ???

Well, I thought it was easy!

Yes, The Vauxhall Astra GTE.
Entered and won the 1989 championship. And was never used again, including by independant teams in any year since!

[BTCC2]

Wow that was a good guess!!!

Who was the last driver to win 4 consecutive BTCC races ? And when/ where

[tin-top fan]

when Eaves won three races in a row at thruxton the other year, didn't he win the first race at the next round or the last race at the previous round

[Jimmy Magnusson]

Alain Menu, Renault 1997

[BTCC2]

Alain Menu, Renault 1997

Correct Rounds 1&2 at Donington Park and Rounds 3&4 at Silverstone.

[Jimmy Magnusson]

Correct Rounds 1&2 at Donington Park and Rounds 3&4 at Silverstone.

You can always trust Menu ;) And yay, I get to ask a question! Well, I'll give it a try.

Three top manufacterors in STCC brought in extra drivers towards the end of the 2000 season to help their respective top driver to secure the title. Name the four drivers that was brought in, and what teams they drove for.

Hope it's an allowed question (depending on if the quiz is a BTCC-quiz or TC quiz)!

[PDS]

I'm going for...
Kelvin Burt for Volvo.
David Leslie for Nissan.
Roberto Colciago and Chritian Abt for Audi..
