Kimi-Mika · 5 May 2003, 20:09 (Ref:590288)

And this very interesting photo? i think this car cooper, but what model? Driver has same helmets, and i have not got any ideas about photo, if some interested, please help!

El_Gibleto · 5 May 2003, 20:16 (Ref:590296)

The first picture is of Marc Gossens in a 1994 Nordic Lola F3000. I'm not sure why it has "Birkin" sponsorship, Birkin is a South African kit car manufacturer that is owned by Steve Watsons family. Named after Henry Birkin, one of the original "Bently Boys" and Steve grandfather. ( I think)

Kimi-Mika · 5 May 2003, 20:42 (Ref:590317)

Vitesse · 5 May 2003, 21:32 (Ref:590375)

I think the Cooper is Olivier Gendebien's Yeoman Credit T51 in the 1960 Portuguese GP. It would actually be pale green, but the picture looks faded or degraded to me.

There were very few street races at this time, and it's certainly not Monaco!

David McKinney · 6 May 2003, 05:36 (Ref:590548)

I agree with the Yeoman Credit theory, but am not sure it's Gendebien and remain puzzled by the background. Brussels, maybe?

El_Gibleto · 6 May 2003, 06:19 (Ref:590562)

The Gossens shot is cropped very tight but looking at the kerbs, perhaps Pau or Enna??

But my theory it is Hokkenhaim

Darren Galpin · 6 May 2003, 15:44 (Ref:591130)

Sorry - not Hockenheim. If you look in the back of the photo you can see an armco guard-rail right against the track edge. All armco barriers at Hockenheim are set back from the track. The fact that the barrier is so close to the track means that it has to be a street race, so I would go with Pau.

I can not find any photos of nordic! Somebody can help with photos?
2Darren Galpin Are you sore about Pau?

Vitesse · 6 May 2003, 22:42 (Ref:591724)

I'd say Pau is the favourite for the Goossens picture.

David - most pics I've seen of Brussels show it as a typical park circuit (or feature the Atomium). Were there any buildings close to the track? It looks a very "50s modern" style though.

There is a Yeoman Credit car that would fit though - Salvadori's T53 in the 1961 Brussels GP.

Not Salvadori or '61. Yeoman Credit used dark green by then and the car in photo is a T51.

Darren Galpin · 7 May 2003, 07:47 (Ref:592008)

Here is a map of Pau:

I'm not to sure of the corner though....

D-Type · 13 May 2003, 16:46 (Ref:598093)

Is this another of these Russian quizzes?

Kimi-Mika · 13 May 2003, 18:06 (Ref:598168)

It's discusting!

oleksa · 15 May 2003, 10:09 (Ref:599555)

Yes,of course,that's quiz from russian magazine "Formula".
This guy Kimi-Mika doesn't want to answer the questions himself,so he used to use someone else's knowledge.
BTW, TNF'ers refused to answer his questions any more...

No, I will not shut up.

It is our business to warn people that somebody is pretending to be an enthusiast when he is really trying to win a big prize in a competition.

If you are HONEST and tell people you are trying to win a prize, they can decide if they are prepared to GIVE you their time and knowledge for free.

Fair enough, you can ask after the closing date just in case.

Kimi-Mika · 15 May 2003, 16:14 (Ref:599884)

I asked 2 questions, other 8 i found myself!

Sorry I do not believe you.
EVERY question you have asked, whether as Kimi-Mika, Samuelson, Cat, or any other name has been asking for the answer to a quiz question.
You have NEVER asked a question that a genuine enthusiast seeking information would ask.
You have NEVER tried to answer anybody else's questions.
Nor have you taken part in any discussion.
The evidence is overwhelming.

Kimi-Mika · 16 May 2003, 06:40 (Ref:600563)

Cat and other names it's not me! Other questions i can discusst in my Russian forums.

TimD · 16 May 2003, 06:47 (Ref:600566)

Okay - time for this one to finish, I think. Everyone's had their right to reply, and anything further will be detrimental to the forum.

Two things spring to mind. First of all, it seems a shame that if a competition entry is the motivation for posting questions, it isn't made clear at the outset. That's the world we live in, I suppose.

Secondly, it should be noted by anyone following that route to find answers that they will not be the only competitor who has found this forum, as has been amply demonstrated this week. It seems to me, therefore, that in having the answers posted for all the world to see, one dramatically enhances the chances of one's opponents.

Rather defeats the object of the exercise, I would have thought.
