F1- Answer the Question
Apoligees if there is already a thread on this. If so, delete this one but I did not see one.
Anyway, this is an F1 brainteaser. I ask a question and whoever guesses correctly can ask the next. If someone does not ask his Q (on his turn) within 3 days, it moves on and anyone can post. If a Q is not answered in 3 days, the thread can move along. Just to keep it going. OK, I'll start with an easy one: Who signed for Arrows for the 1978 season but died of terminal cancer (which no-one knew about) in the autumn of 1977? |

Sorry, to be a bit dramatic. Apoligees if anyone was offended. But indeed, Gunnar died in 1978 (sorry, not 1977).
Ask on Son of Jor-El |

Indeed - Nilsson had signed for Arrows for the 1979 season.
A tragic time for Swedish Motorsport that, Gunnar's death coming just weeks after Ronnie Peterson's. |

Well, he drove a Lotus 18 Climax at the 1960 British GP. Thats when he was first considered by Colin Chapman, finishing 2nd in that race I think.
So maybe this is the answer: Race- ? Year- 1960 Car- Formula Junior Cooper BMC |

OK. No problem.
I'd say 1960 Argentinian GP in a Lotus 18 Climax. This is like Cluedo! I cant remember what GP it was but I'm trying to remember what the first GP of 1960 was. Maybe it was the British. Im not sure. |

OK, so I've figured out that it was 1960 in a Lotus 18 Climax. All I need now is the GP.
German GP? |

Took part in qualifying at Monaco - not a serious attempt to qualify though and unsurprisingly DNQ'd.

Bernie never started a race, he did not qualify in one race and withdrew because of an accident in his second attempt.
