Title: Who/What/Where is This?
The STIG - October 23, 2007 09:36 PM (GMT)
Here's a little game. I'll post a picture up, and you have to tell me the subject's identity without cheating!
Any picture goes, it'll either be a motorsport person or a motorsport object or a motorsport location...
So, Who's This?

your one and only clue - he's a BTCC Driver.
Lord Tau - October 23, 2007 09:42 PM (GMT)
I think I know the answer but I'm not 100% sure.
The STIG - October 23, 2007 09:45 PM (GMT)
Try it then, you metrologist!
Lord Tau - October 23, 2007 09:50 PM (GMT)
Is it Fabrizio Giovanardi (sp?)
The STIG - October 23, 2007 09:51 PM (GMT)
Lord Tau - October 23, 2007 09:58 PM (GMT)
Bah! He had that Italian look about him an' all!
The STIG - October 23, 2007 09:59 PM (GMT)
Whilst he's thinking about this, I'll add that I'll be keeping score. So it's going to be 10 points for getting it right with only the one clue. 5 points for getting it right with another clue, and 2 points for getting it right with any more clues.
And there's bonus points on offer on certain photos too.

The STIG - October 23, 2007 10:05 PM (GMT)
Correct - 10 points for you!
Okay, for the second one, I'm looking for the location. 2 points bonus if you can tell me the car (only the marque will do) and another 2 if you can tell me the driver's name.
Ready?

your Clue : This is a hillclimb!
wickedwitch - October 23, 2007 10:06 PM (GMT)
Oh I've just read the rest of the thread - didn't know you were giving clues!
stradlin22 - October 23, 2007 10:08 PM (GMT)
if you didn't know that was Mike Jordan you want shooting!
The STIG - October 23, 2007 10:09 PM (GMT)
To make this a bit fairer, I'll wait a bit before marking this. Anyone who answers correctly gets the points.
(I'm making this up as I go along, can you tell?)

Of course I knew it was Mike Jordan. I've known him years, which made it dead easy - which is why I posted the other comment about clues!
stradlin22 - October 23, 2007 10:12 PM (GMT)
it's deffo a Reynard
Will Mason is my guess for driving it and i'm saying it's a 913 maybe?
The STIG - October 23, 2007 10:13 PM (GMT)
And where do you think it is, Stradders?

You'll be talking Olivers Mount at Scarborough, which is only for bikes

It's definitely Harewood. I've marshalled there and I recognise the farm buildings.

Of course I am!
I'm having second thoughts on the car though <think>
The STIG - October 24, 2007 07:51 AM (GMT)
Right, there's still some confusion, however...
Both of you get 10 points! It is indeed the farm at Harewood.
Neither of you got the driver - it's Simon Durling
The car is in fact a Gould GR55B, powered by a Nicholson McLaren V8 engine. However I have it on good authority that this design is based on a Reynard chassis, so I'll give you an extra bonus point for that.
The scores. WW - 21, Stradlin - 12, Tau - 0 (!)
Now. we've had a who, we've had a where, now for a what...
So what are these peculiar machines. Bonus point if you can tell me where they is.
Grandslammer - October 24, 2007 09:23 AM (GMT)
So, Who's This?

your one and only clue - he's a BTCC Driver.

The motoring press were on about Mike Jordan the other week.....'having his customary end of season shunt' <think>

Clubmans (Chris Burnham)....Snetterton ?
The STIG - October 24, 2007 11:13 AM (GMT)
He's right you know - 14 points there Martyn.
The Scores - WW 21, Stradlin 12, Grandslammer 14, Tau
0Next one then, and we're back to a who...

Your clue - This is a Welsh rally driver.
There are no bonus points awarded at all for this one.
stradlin22 - October 24, 2007 11:19 AM (GMT)
that's a superb call Grandslammer
nice one mate
stradlin22 - October 24, 2007 11:19 AM (GMT)
Gyndaf Evans
or however you spell it
i remember him rolling it at the RAC a few years back
same year that Brundle took part..................and also rolled it

It is indeed Gwyndaf Evans Matt, in front of what I can only assume is his Mitsu Evo IX.
The STIG - October 24, 2007 04:45 PM (GMT)
Correct! It's the Welsh Wizard himself.
Useless trivia, Gwyndaf has slid a (loaded) school bus down a welsh hillside.
Anyway, the scores are...
Stradlin 22, WW 21, Grand slammer 14, Ed 10, and Tau
0So we've had another who - now for a where...
Appropriately enough, this picture is a pit lane.

Clue : This is on the other side of the world to everyone but Mrs Shrek.
2 bonus points if you can name the event which is taking place here
Startline Ed - October 24, 2007 04:49 PM (GMT)
The STIG - October 24, 2007 05:00 PM (GMT)
Try and sort the location out, then go for the bonuses.

Yes, that's Pukekohe, and it is Aussie V8s, so the scores are now...
Stradlin 32, WW 21, Ed 22, Grandslammer 14.
high time for a what then.

Clue : Quite possibly the most successfull car to be built in Wales.
Bonus for the driver's name.
gillesno27 - October 24, 2007 06:17 PM (GMT)
That's a Darrian. I remember one winning the British GT Championship about 12 yrs ago. They were powered by a 2l Cosworth turbo engine of the kind which featured in the Sierra/Escort Cossie. I will try find some more info. Certainly the model number I always remember is the T90.
This is clearly a rally car. I will give it more thought and get back to you, although I'm sure Swansea Uni is somehow involved...
