O.k. , I'll give this a try , if you don't mind . I went one further and paired them up on teams . Hope I don't get penalized for that .jacfan wrote:I have just read an interesting post by gkayWhich gave me an idea.I just wish I could have seen Senna, Prost, Schumi, Hakkinen and Alonso race on the same track...
Instead of just the usual questions and answers this time I am going to make up a list of 22 drivers that I would like to see race each other. Hope this makes sense.
I want you guys to send me your list of 22 drivers and why you would pick them. Sort of like a team of the century.
I will award points on how many of mine you picked and also points for good reasons. You may put different drivers to me but if I like your reasoning then I will award points.
If you all hate the idea then let me know and I will have to work on a normal type quiz.
no there is nothing wrong with that. Well thought out.Dzu-Fast wrote:O.k. , I'll give this a try , if you don't mind . I went one further and paired them up on teams .

- Bern Rosemeyer - Tazio Nuvolari ---- No one before or since could mash the gas like ol' Bern and no one before or since could " will a car to win " like Taz . That's got to be a winning combo .
- Jackie Stewart - Jim Clark --- Scotlands best together , seems a bit unfair to the others .
- Rene Arnoux - Alain Prost --- Tossing the French a bone . They'll be so busy supporting Arnoux over Prost , they won't be any trouble for anyone else .
- Mario Andretti - Jack Brabham --- The " Dirt Tracks to Glory " team .
- Ayrton Senna - Juan Manuel Fangio --- South America's best . Seems a bit unfair also .
- Phil Hill - Dan Gurney --- The " All-American " team , of course .
- Nigel Mansell - Stirling Moss --- A " proper " British effort .
- Graham Hill - Damon Hill --- Father and Son team would be interesting .
- James Hunt - Niki Lauda --- I've heard Hunt and Niki were pals . So Hunt would keep Niki loose and Niki would keep Hunt in line , so it just might work .
- Fernando Alonso - Micheal Schumacher --- Because I can't think of anything that either one would hate worse .
- Jochen Rindt - Gilles Villenueve --- Two guys that deserve another chance .

Glad you enjoyed it. I usually run a quiz but thought this would be a bit of fun instead of just answering questions all the time.Dzu-Fast wrote:jacfan wrote: no there is nothing wrong with that. Well thought out.
- Ahhh good . I had seen the original post the night before , so I had all day to give it a good thunk .
- I like the way you posed the question , the one's you would like to see race each other as opposed to the tired old " who's the best " list , which is impossible anyway I think .
- So , thanks , it gave me something interesting to ponder as I went about my daily drudgery .
Some stats would be nice. Like, the most selected drivers... Interesting picks, etc.jacfan wrote:Sorry I haven't gone through the answers yet. Have been busy this weekend but will try and get it done tomorrow.
Funny you should mention that.... I was chatting to Jeremy tonight and he suggested exactly the same thing. Great minds think alike.gkaytaz wrote:Some stats would be nice.
