...I've been trying to think of suitable events from Touring Car racing that would be suitable for the "What Happened Next?" round. The aftermath of thatt crash at Silverstone ("Hell hath no fury like a woman rammed") would be a good one...

Funny you should say that, cos they've had one before. The opening round of 1999, with Muller's bonnet flying up was the clip.

Hmm I think if he picks a home question it will be "Who won Formula 1 in 1994, 1995, 2000, 2001, 2002, 2003 & 2004".

Or something completely simple.

Priaulx? - Is he the prop forward for Les Bleues?

I think you may he started a very interesting question there.

If you were a touring car driver what home question about the tin-tops would you most want to be asked if you went on A Question of Sport?

I would like to be asked "Which driver suggested Anthony Reid be in the circus juggling balls"? Of course the answer is.....

Since when has a contestant on a quiz show been able to pick exactly what questions they're asked though? Probably general motorsport questions for Mr Priaulx.

Looking forward to this as he's surely going to win being on Coisty's team. :D

Can't believe Priaulx got the Giovanardi question wrong but he made up for it with the motorcycle question, the rider who danced out of the way of those bikes, incredible he wasn't hit.

thought he did okay on the show, think quite a lot would have said Tarquini instead of giovanardi

There weren't any questions about whoever this ginornadi is. Question was "which Italian driver won 4 races in the 2005 WTCC and finished the season in 3rd place?". I did think Gabriele Tarquini like a lot of people and Andy himself for a bit, but then remembered Fabrizio Giovanardi being in with a shout of the title at the Macau races. Unfortunately Andy chose Gabriele. :p :

Question was Which Italian driver won 4 races on his way to finishing 3rd in the 2005 WTCC season. There was also another WTCC question, can't remember it exactly but the answer was Jordi Gené.

Edit: beaten to it I see!

For those that missed it, you can watch again or download highlights from http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/question_of_sport/default.stm
It's still showing last week's at the moment, but should udpate for tomorrow.

I taped it so I will see it today sometime but I am a little surprised at Andy getting the question wrong. Not just because I am guessing he was there and should have known. The fact he appears to me to be certainly among the top Italians to compete in the WTCC would have told me it logically had to be Fab. He would have been the Italian driver most likely to win 4 races in 2005 and finish 3rd.

I'm not that surprised he got it wrong. He's that focused on himself and winning that he doesn't pay attention to stats like that. :champion:
