Carrera28 Posted 10July, 2016 Report Share Posted 10July, 2016 Question. At the conclusion of this race how many grands prix will have been run?For the season this will be the 10th raceSince official races started in 1950 there will have been 945 Grand Prix (which included the Indy 500 for the years 1950 to 1960 as it was part of the championship even though most F1 teams did not compete) Wet weather race with a safety car start, guess they have no choice with Rosberg and Hamilton on the front of the grid Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stew F Posted 29July, 2016 Author Report Share Posted 29July, 2016 Soooo close. I'll give you 1 point. Mario Alborghetti was killed in his debut race at Pau in France in 1955. He was driving for the Volpini-Azarni team. The car was an ex Scuderia Milano Maserati 4CLT with a Speluzzi engine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stew F Posted 23October, 2016 Author Report Share Posted 23October, 2016 Yes sorry, been a bit preoccupied with other things, like earning a living. Currently we have AB_981 in 152nd place overall, then me in 245th place, followed by byron bay chris in 508th place. There is 7 of us in the top 1000, which is a fair effort.
