Sorry, @slr – you’ve only got one out of three right.

@ob1kenobi23 – it’s not actually your turn to ask a question. You answered one that was over a month old, but everyone has since moved on. In the interests of keeping the game going in one direction, the current question is this:

1) Which even was provisionally added to the 1999 calendar, but was removed before the 1999 season?

2) Which circuit was supposed to host this race?

3) Which former World Champion endorsed this race during the planning stages?

Only two out of three right, I’m afraid.

Alright, it’s been three days and nobody has gotten it. The correct answer is 1) China, 2) Zhuhai, and 3) Jacques Villeneuve.

In the interests of keeping this thread alive, here’s some new questions. And yes, they’re going to be as difficult as I can possibly conceive. You’re really going to have to research these:

Which non-Australian driver has a street named after him in an Australian capital city?

Alexandrovic (I think it’s spelt this way).

I did not know that. I am totally moving to Adelaide.

And yet, you still failed to get the right answer – it’s Mika Hakkinen.

Alexandrovic (I think it’s spelt this way).

Nope. That’s not his middle name.

Anyhow, every website I can find lists his middle name as Aleksandrovich however I know that means he is the son of Aleksandro so I have no clue..

So near, and yet, so far.

In the interests of keeping this thread alive, I’ll give the answer now: Vitaly Petrov does not have a middle name. In keeping with Russian naming tradition, he has a patronym, which is taken from his father’s name; “Aleksandrovich” means, as you pointed out “Son of Aleksandr”. Yes, this was a trick question.

Someone else can have a go.
