News On F1 Forums - Talk Formula 1

For this round, I thought about injecting a little bit of American-humor into the forum. Now, if one follows the sport of auto racing enough, one comes across plenty of nicknames, good, bad, and downright ugly ones. But there's plenty of them, and so here goes round 5. As before, you get two weeks to send me your answers via PM, with the deadline for this round being....midnight(12:00 AM EDT), 3 October 2005(04:00 UTC 3 October).

Here are the current standings with 4 rounds past.....

1}JayVee 21.0 pts.
2}Lemon_Martini2 13.5 pts.
3}Julian Mayo 9.0 pts.

There are 15 nicknames; try to guess who I'm referring to.(Here's a hint...read the threads in the North American Motorsports category, and you should do pretty well.) Have fun, good luck, and enjoy!

1}Spiderman
2}Little Al
3}Silent Sam
4}the Invisible Man
5}the Flying Dutchman
6}Smoke
7}Dapper Dan
8}the Roscoe Rocket
9}SeaBass
10}the Thrill from West Hill
11}Flattop
12}the Scotsman
13}Junky
14}the Other Patrick
15}Big Al

Good luck, and enjoy!!

Well, for the first time, no one responded with answers to open wheel trivia, round #5. It's a shame,; I thought it would've been a lot of fun to see everyone guess who was who? Oh, well...back to the drawing board.

Here are the answers to the quiz...

1}Spiderman---Helio Castroneves
2}Little Al--Al Unser, Jr.
3}Silent Sam--Sam Hornish, Jr.
4}the Invisible Man--Vitor Meira
5}the Flying Dutchman--(2 answers)Arie Luyendyk or Charles Zwolsman
6}Smoke--Tony Stewart
7}Dapper Dan--Dan Wheldon
8)the Roscoe Rocket--Danica Patrick
9}SeaBass-Sebastien Bourdais
10}the Thrill from West Hill--Paul Tracy
11}Flattop--A.J. Allmendinger
12}the Scotsman--Dario Franchitti
13}Junky--Bruno Junquiera
14}the other Patrick--Patrick Carpentier
15}Big Al--Al Unser, Sr.

Since no one sent in any answers, the points table remains unchanged for this round...I should have the next round up on the boards by the end of the week..Please, send in your answers for the next quiz(Hey, even if you're guessing at all the questions, at least send in the answers. You might get one right!!) and good luck.

Sorry I forgot.

I will make an effort in the next round

I've gotta maintain the lead

Good showing, RE. Granted, you're a couple of months late, but what the heck, at least you answered. Had it been during the alloted time, you would have scored 14 right. On #5, you're right(the answer was either Arie Luyendyk OR Charles Zwolsman); but you were wrong on #11...the nickname refers to ChampCar racer A.J. Allmendinger(look at any picture of him and notice the hairstyle--that's where the reference comes from).
