Gonna jump in and guess...... Andrea de Cesaris.

yannicksamlad · Post by **yannicksamlad** » 02 Feb 2018, 10:57

Yes they were classified in Japanese GP 87 ...so we can scrub the De Cesaris guess ( which may have been influenced by picking up on my affection for him )

( already known - competed in 1987 Japanese GP (and competed in F1 in 1980s and has raced a F1 turbo engined car ( and in a Japanese GP , and is European driver, points scorer)

yannicksamlad · Post by **yannicksamlad** » 02 Feb 2018, 11:02

There were 15 classified in the 1987 Japanese GP and I think we've had 7 questions ( we'll scrub the De Cesaris guess as you'd have known he wasnt classified...1987 being a year of monumental unreliability for Andrea with only 2 classifications at the finish and in each case the car wasnt moving under its own power at the end)

So I think you'll get it...........

Piercarlo Ghinzani?

yannicksamlad · Post by **yannicksamlad** » 02 Feb 2018, 12:39

Nope - not Piercarlo
( known- so far Yes they were classified in Japanese GP 87 . competed in 1987 Japanese GP (and competed in F1 in 1980s and has raced a F1 turbo engined car ( and in a Japanese GP , and is European driver, points scorer)

Thierry Boutsen?

CarloSpace · Post by **CarloSpace** » 02 Feb 2018, 12:57

Could it be Yannick Samlad? :vergne:

E: Come to think of it, it cannot

yannicksamlad · Post by **yannicksamlad** » 02 Feb 2018, 15:14

No - not Thierry .. and we wont count the withdrawn suggestion of the great Yannick. So there are 11 guesses left - and a bunch of classified drivers in the 1987 Japanese GP

dr-baker · Post by **dr-baker** » 02 Feb 2018, 16:53

Did this driver score points in the 1987 Japanese GP (were they classified in the top-6)?

yannicksamlad · Post by **yannicksamlad** » 02 Feb 2018, 21:02

Nope. Didn't score points. Not in Japan 87

This Could Be You · Post by **This Could Be You** » 02 Feb 2018, 21:29

8 questions left...

This Could Be You · Post by **This Could Be You** » 02 Feb 2018, 22:16

Derek Warwick?

yannicksamlad · Post by **yannicksamlad** » 02 Feb 2018, 22:22

dr-baker · Post by **dr-baker** » 02 Feb 2018, 22:54

Ricciardo Patrese?

yannicksamlad · Post by **yannicksamlad** » 02 Feb 2018, 22:55

No..Not him (Prost). We are getting through the remaining options though...In fact I think logically there's only one left that fits the profile

yannicksamlad · Post by **yannicksamlad** » 02 Feb 2018, 22:56

Patrese! Yes..As I was typing the reply to Post...So that explains my previous reply

dr-baker · Post by **dr-baker** » 02 Feb 2018, 22:58

Yay! I have one more in mind. Will answer questions in the morning!

No.

Did they enter for any F1 championship race under the 1.5 litre engine rules?

No.

yannicksamlad · Post by **yannicksamlad** » 03 Feb 2018, 21:35

Did they enter a F1 World Championship race? ( the rules suggest that F2 and Indy entrants are possible)

You didn't specify F2 only in '52/'53 or Indy 500 only from 1950 to 1960. Did you intend for only the F2/Indy 500 periods in the 1950s when they counted towards the F1 title, or could it be interpreted as being more widely defined?

The exact wording was World Championship F1 race, F2 race or Indy 500, which was intended to cover only those races which counted towards the World Drivers' Championship.

Although I do plan on keeping this thread alive and ditching most of the rules (including the driver criteria) when Melbourne comes around.

Yes, they did enter an F1 World Championship race...

I anticipated this question, knowing my own reputation, so the answer is deliberately... NO! (That would have made it too easy. You could have just listed them then...).

Now we have...

No.

That'll be a no then.

CarloSpace wrote:Maria Teresa de Filippis!

I'm afraid not.

WaffleCat wrote:I'll jump in with Desire Wilson

She's been a correct answer before. But I forgot that when I chose a driver. And I don't think there's a rule against it. Which means... WE HAVE A WINNER!
