Thread: The History Mystery - Case 1 (F1) [CLOSED?]

There is a lot of information beneath 56 years of Formula 1 history.

The following is a picture taken during a race during the 1960s. In this History Mystery, we are trying to find out:

1. Who is the driver in car number 6?
2. Who is following him?
3. During which season was this picture taken?

Alright, since nobody has been able to make an educated guess, I'll release the first hint by narrowing down the timeframe.

The picture was taken between 1960 and 1965. Go ahead and give it a shot

I don't know, because I wasn't born then.

Well just cause you weren't born before World War II doesn't mean you don't know who Hitler is :? . C'mon try to find out and give it a shot, you might get it right and win the first case of the History Mystery.

1962.

And Hitler who?

There are three questions you need to figure out. I'll wait a bit until I respond to the 1962 answer, to give other people a chance. Look around the net, maybe some historical racing magazines for information about this picture.

Hitler my new helmet visor, it comes with a mustache opening for better airflow. :P

But I'm so desperate to know.

Hmm... Is Jim Clark the driver in the #8 car? ops:

Hmmm...

I've found a similar picture that was dated 1962.


So....

To answer the questions, I think...

1. Who is the driver in car number 6? Maurice Trintignant
2. Who is following him? Jim Clark
3. During which season was this picture taken? 1962

Hang on...does that mean that my 1962 answer was right?!?

Holy crap!

GET IN THERE MY SON! YOU BEAUTY!
