    Matracien at Alpiniste's THIRD set of 26 questions

    As was expected the car names was an easy 26.

    OK, THIS one is going to be tough and I'll be impressed if you get all

    Formula One racing drivers next. Starting with A. ( Surnames only )

    Again, not allowed to move on till you get the letter.
    Or in this case, I'll call a letter null-and-void if no-one gets an answer within a day of it first being available for guessing.

    I'm thinking of adding a second rule which requires submitters to make answers they got by web/book searchign rather than knowledge. ( I'm still amazed that there are two Chinese manufacturesr starting with an X )

    Still haven't quite got the rules right.
    You should have STOPPED your list at Nakano as you had no anaswer for 'O'.
    All your other answers just ruined it for everyone else.

    I'm thniking of preventing henk4 from answering the next one.

    I will either:
    adopt another alias
    or
    be available for questions

    Xerxes was the Greek hero who ventured out to combat the Turks about 2500 years ago. As he was on a dangerous road I consider him to be a F1 driver. (There actually is no driver with an X, check www.oldracingcars.com, which is also interesting for other reasons)

    OK, that was all I could find for XERXES, so NOPE you're not getting that one Pieter

    Good point on the alias :-(

    I'll start the next quiz later, course you coudl guess what's coming and prep the answers ( my previous posts show my motor sport interests )
