Thread: History Mystery - Case 2 (F1) [CLOSED: 1973 Ford Cosworth DFV]

In this History Mystery, we are trying to find out:

1. During which season was this picture taken?
2. What Ford engine was used for this car?
3. Was Emerson Fittipaldi really World Champion the previous season or was he just driving a No. 1 Car?
4. What does JPS (on the top of the car) stand for?

As far as I'm aware, the JPS on the top of the car stands for John Player Special.

I'll post my ideas for the other answers later.

Ok, I'm not sure of the answers, but my guesses are...

1. During which season was this picture taken? 1973
2. What Ford engine was used for this car? Ford Cosworth DFV
3. Was Emerson Fittipaldi really World Champion the previous season or was he just driving a No. 1 Car? Yes, he was 16 points ahead of Jackie Stewart
4. What does JPS (on the top of the car) stand for? John Player Special

Correct!

You will be entered in the Hystory Mystery Winner's List shortly :wink:

Oh good. I wasn't sure of the answers, like I said, so that's a nice surprise.
