MOTORSPORT TRIVIA - Q40, 41 & 42

Q40. Who caused a pile-up on the opening lap of the 1973 British GP? What happened to him the next year?

Two parter :

Q41. How many times did Ricardo Patrese compete at Le Mans?

Q42. Why was he unable to drive at night during his first two visits?

Q40. Jody Scheckter. The next year he won the British GP.

Corrrrrect.

Patrese raced for Lancia, don't know how many times, but probably didn't race at night because the cars broke down early.
Thats an educated guess (at best).

Dunno on the Lancia front.

Nope on the night racing front.

Question is still open...

I've been neglecting you lately - sowwy. Bin busy (again).

Anyway, Patrese raced 3 times at Le Mans and couldn't race at night the first two times 'cos Ricardo was contracted to Brabham and Bernie said he couldn't.
