So...is it a Ferrari?

It's definately a Ferrari.

The picture is saved on the other computer in this house.

Indeed it is.

So far, the driver is still wrong, you probably won't get it, so I'll tell you.

It was the solitary F1 test for Scott Dixon.

So far we have:

A Ferrari

Judging from the picture on the wall above my PC I'd say the little air intake before the rear wheels would make the car the 156 F1 "Sharknose". Ferrari ran that from 1961 to 1963.

There's no number on the car which is curious as the cars from the '60's ran with numbers on the flanks and nose. The colour has got me stuffed too, as the Belgian team I was thinking of ran Ferrari sports cars and not F1. The only time Ferrari has run in anything other than Rosso is 1964 when they ran in white and blue after Enzo had a disagreement with the Italian auto authorities. So unless the picture just makes the car look yellow/orange it's not a works car. :confused:

Ignoring the colour I'm going to say:

Wolfgang von Trips
Ferrari 156F1
Spa
1961

ARGGGGHHH!!!! This is impossible!

Agreed its a sharknose, so 1961, spa. Driver?? Phil Hill. Although I dunno why its yellow.

ok, got it - but I've got so frustrated I've had to cheat!!! But i'm not telling ;)

It is definitely a yellow Ferrari. You're right besides from the driver.

Hint, the driver was in the Ferrari sportscar works team. Use the place of the grand prix as a hint.

I agree. It has to be Gendebien.

Right you are. An older 156 with a 60 Degree engine was lent to him by Ferrari for this race. He led for several laps at the start with the inferior Ferrari and eventually finished 4th, making the result a Ferrari top 4 in the race.

PS he has the best name ever:P

Correct!

But if you want to be technical, Imola is actually in Italy, using the guise of the San Marino GP. :)

Italy?!You don't say.. :)

Ok, here we go..

I do not follow the series at all but I do follow some of the drivers from other categories (IRL, NASCAR). This is what really got me into it. From what I hear there are a lot of activities in the middle section of the track which is accessible to fans depending on your tickets.
I would like to get some more info about the cars.. "Daytona prototypes" which I know nothing about, the racing involved. (Different classes racing at the same time) are there many accidents? I’ve been reading about their engine specs but I have never actually seen them in action. How fast are they compared to the other categories?.. NASCAR, IRL, F1, DTM etc….
Can you use your tickets to go in and out of the track at anytime you want during the 24hrs or are they fixed for specific reserved times?

thanks for the info so far.

WTF.. sorry I posted the above in the wrong forum..

You got everything right but the track. So i'm still waiting..

Magny-Cours?
