The Bar Exam: 28 February 2013

by

A big thank you to those taking part in last week’s Formula 1 Bar Exam.

The correct answer for last week’s Bar Exam was: Kyalami, South Africa where the last race held was in 1993 and won by Alain Prost in a Williams Renault. The other circuit was the Nordschleife last raced fully in formula 1 in 1976 and won by James hunt in the McLaren. As I did not make it clear that it should be the exact circuit I also accepted Nurburgring and Lewis Hamilton last won a race there in 2011. Well done to C-bahn and Wire2004 who got it 50% right in spotting Nordschleife/Nurburgring!
