Comments and Discussion
52
Round 2 Q7 is missing from the webpage and I'm sure it was the Oesterreichring in 1985 and only became known as the A1-Ring when it was shortened and reappeared in the 90s.
Alan Jones is given for a question in round two that isn't there
Round 2 of the quiz is fixed now, so please have another look. Thanks Pionir and Reverend Frog for pointing out the missing question. Sorry about that.
Please stop reading this if you haven't done the quiz yet!
A score of 52 is excellent Pionir and would have tied with our winner on Sunday! Yes the circuit was called the Osterreichring in 1985. The A1-Ring as listed above, is just the most common name for the circuit that people recognise, so both are acceptable answers along with Zeltweg and Red Bull Ring (the circuit's current name). If you didn't know the circuit name, then the country name is acceptable, so that's Austria in this case. This was all taken into account during the quiz marking at the event on Sunday.
Similarly, Autodromo Jose Carlos Pace and Sao Paulo are acceptable answers for Interlagos, Brazil in Round 3. Budapest likewise for Hungaroring in Round 5.
