BTCC- Answer the Question

P.Cummins · 13 Feb 2005, 10:59 (Ref:1224201)

I'll ask a Q related to the BTCC and whoever answers correctly can ask the next.
If there is no Q asked within 3 days the thread moves on and anyone can post.
Likewise, if no Q is answered (or verifed correct/wrong) within 3 days, it moves along onto anyone at random.

OK, for a start:

Who's recent BTCC drivers father was a rallycross driver and nicknamed "Piggy"?

OK, I'll ask then:

A driver in the early 90's was sponsered by a tea-bag company. He drove a Honda.

A Double header:

a) At which circuit did Andy Rouse debut the XR4ti

b) Who drove the second car in that years' GP support race?

P.Cummins · 17 Feb 2005, 13:02 (Ref:1228196)

It was in 1985 anyway.

My producer says I can't offer any marks for that P Cummins.

Need the answers to the questions.

Sorry, I don't make the decisions here I just do as I'm told...

racer69 · 18 Feb 2005, 06:13 (Ref:1229020)

Oulten Park debut.

Was the second car driven by David Sears?

P.Cummins · 18 Feb 2005, 10:09 (Ref:1229148)

No, I am not expecting you to accept that as an answer I was just saying to help some other people out who might not know it either.

I'm not sure of the track and 2nd driver.

lj79 · 18 Feb 2005, 17:30 (Ref:1229535)

P Cummins - Second driver was German

racer69 · 18 Feb 2005, 18:15 (Ref:1229570)

German second driver....Harald Grohs?

lj79 · 18 Feb 2005, 18:19 (Ref:1229574)

Nope

mcurtis26 · 18 Feb 2005, 19:37 (Ref:1229619)

Armin Hahne?

lj79 · 18 Feb 2005, 20:03 (Ref:1229651)

Nope

racer69 · 19 Feb 2005, 01:00 (Ref:1229855)

a) Dave Brodie put a Mitsubishi Starion Turbo on pole position, his co-driver for the TT was Vern Schuppan.

Went backwards pretty much from the start.

b) No idea

Alfa Fan · 20 Feb 2005, 21:43 (Ref:1230925)

I've got a question, hope you don't mind me posting.

At Donington Park, Matt Neal took victory in a privateer Nissan Primera. But who was the second privateer to take victory in the BTCC, and when?

lj79 · 18 Feb 2005, 22:38 (Ref:1229794)

Guys - got a lot on this weekend, so not sure if I can log in:

The answer is Klaus Niedzwiedz.

Sears was co driver at TT that year 1985- (NOT gp support). He never drove cos Rouse lost a wheel on lap 9 going in to Copse...in the lead. Rouse ran a second Sierra at the TT too in 85 - Rex Greenslade and Tony Trimmer. Not sure how it did, but no way near as quick as the lead car

lj79 · 18 Feb 2005, 22:40 (Ref:1229796)

But before I go:

a) Which BTCC driver qualified on Pole for the 85 TT?

b) What was unique (in Touring Car circles) to the car? (clue - it was featured on Tomorrows World on BBC1)

Yep it was Dave Brodie

What was unique was it's car-pits telemetry system.

P.Cummins · 20 Feb 2005, 17:58 (Ref:1230831)

What is the TT?

**touringlegend** · 20 Feb 2005, 18:29 (Ref:1230854)

Tourist Trophy. It ran to the late 90's.

But the last real one was '88. The year of Rouse v Johnson v Eggenberger.

Its demise coincided with that of the ETCC in the same year.

P Cummins - it was in 70's and 80's the Silverstone round of the ETCC and in 1984 the Woodcote catch-fencing worked very, very hard...

P.Cummins · 20 Feb 2005, 19:10 (Ref:1230881)

OK thanks.
