In 2013 there was a Car Class unique to a certain Race Series though it was only ever utilized in 1 race and never seen again though it did get a sort of successor with a different name in 2014 which again, was only utilized in 1 race.

What was the Car Class used in 2013?
What race was this Class utilized?
Which car won the race in this Class?

SGT in the AsLMS?
2013 3 Hours of Fuji
Honda CR-Z

Getting there though not there. (SGT had not successor nor did it have any involvement in the 2014 Season for it to be right)

 

[Clark]

GTC in the ALMS?

 

[LumpiestFish]

GTC in the ALMS?

That was around for a few years I think

 

[Com Fox]

That was around for a few years I think

Yes and it was used for more than 1 race in its 2013 Championship Season.

 

[Juim1j]

It isn't your turn yet, you still have this to solve;

Jeez I don't know, a little help?
Give me a clue was it a well known international championship?

 

[Com Fox]

I'll give a different clue.

@Jimlaad43 was correct on what Series was it.
@Clark was very, very close on what Class it could be.

 

[Jimlaad43]

AsLMS

GTC AM
3 Hours of Sepang
Lamborghini Gallardo

Someone else have a go

How many father-son combinations have there been in motorsports? This can include grandfather-father-son relationships and brothers/sisters.

And who are they?

 

[Carbonox]

Wouldn't there be too many to count?

 

[Barra333]

Wouldn't there be too many to count?

I would have thought so.
Just in Australian V8s I can think of the Richards', Perkins' and Johnsons. Then there are all of the Brabhams (3 generations).
Internationally, there are the Andrettis, Verstappens, Villenueves, Schumachers and so on...

 

[Jimlaad43]

...Hills, Piquets, Deletraz', Panis', Schumachers, Bianchis...

 

[TheBook]

Busch's, Labontes, Yarboroughs, Allisons, Pettys...

And who are they?

What qualifies as a father-son combination in motorsports? Would it be racing at the same time in the same series as each other? Would it be as team-mates? It's probably in the thousands if you count club-level events.

I remember when Alex and Martin Brundle drove the same car in the LMP2 category a couple of years ago. Al Unser Sr and Jr raced against each other in CART in the early 80s, too.

 

[J_Starscream]

I will retract my question and give someone else a chance, one it's too many and I can't remember either.

 

[Barra333]

There have been plenty of decidedly average F1 teams come and go, but the list of teams who scored exactly 1 championship point is quite short - 3 to be exact. Who are they?

I am using the team classification such that a change in majority owner is a new team - ie. Stewart, Jaguar and Red Bull are three different teams. I don't think the lines are too blurry for the three answers, but there were ownership changes involved.

 

[Jimlaad43]

Tecno
Venturi
Spyker

 

[Barra333]

Tecno
Venturi
Spyker

That was quick. I will have to go digging for more obscure stats next time.

Someone else post a question

 

[Roo]

The car with the UK registration J175SFC achieved minor motorsport fame for what reason?

 

[Com Fox]

The car with the UK registration J175SFC achieved minor motorsport fame for what reason?

It was driven by Colin McRae.

 

[Roo]

It was driven by Colin McRae.

So were a lot of other cars. What event in particular singles out J175SFC from the rest?

 

[Com Fox]

It was his Championship winning car and the car most associated with McRae? (I lack much knowledge on Rally)

 

[Roo]

No.

 

[Com Fox]

Figured

 

[Pezzarinho17]

Did he right it off on more than 1 occasion?

 

[Liquid]

J reg suggests 1991 or 1992ish, so he... might have been driving a Ford Sierra or a Subaru Legacy, if we're on rallying and if it actually is something to do with Colin McRae.

It was a Legacy raced by McRae... that's all I know
