A couple of clues. byronleehk got one part of question 8 correct.
For question 14, Jim Richards win in the 1998 Bathurst 1000 Supertouring event IS counted in his total.
For question 20, the type of car is one of the most famous Group C World Sportscar Championship winning cars. One of the drivers is a famous former Mercedes DTM pilot.
For question 11, Falc500 will almost certainly know the answer. Its his favourite driver.
