Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts

1. At what track would you find the Parabolica?

Answer: Monza, Italy

Monza, like Monaco, has been almost ever present on the F1 calendar since 1950. The only year, in the first fifty-plus, that Monza didn't host the Italian GP was in 1980 at the height of local politicking.

2. The 130R corner is found at the Suzuka track in Japan.

Answer: True

Suzuka was the only track with a figure of eight shape to it in the World Championship 2005 calendar, and was also a favorite of the drivers due to its fast sweeping curves.

3. At Silverstone, home of the British Grand Prix, after the Hanger Straight you head into which corner?

Answer: Stowe

Stowe is the corner that became infamous for Michael Schumacher's crash in 1999 which broke his legs.

4. What is the famous left-right-left corner at the Spa-Francorchamps circuit in Belgium?

Answer: Eau Rouge

Eau Rouge was once turned into a chicane after Ayrton Senna's death in 1994. Thankfully is was reverted to its former glory after only one season.

5. What corner at the Imola track, home to the GP of San Marino, was drastically changed after claiming the life of the great Ayrton Senna in 1994?

Answer: Tamburello

Tamburello went from being an almost flat out right hander to a right left chicane after Senna's death. The other choices are all corners on the Imola track as well.

6. What was the only track on the 2005 calendar with a tunnel?

Answer: Monaco

Monaco is unique in that it is the only true street track on the calendar and it has been on the calendar ever since the first World Championship in 1950.

7. What is the name of the hairpin at the end of the long straight on the Magny-Cours track in France?

Answer: Adelaide

The French GP is the oldest of them all. The first one was held over a 64 MILE road course near Le Mans in 1906. Magny-Cours has been home to the French GP since 1991 and was used as a testing track by the now defunct Ligier team.

Answer: Turkey

9. What is the name of the circuit where the Canadian GP is held?

Answer: Circuit de Gilles Villeneuve

The circuit is named after the legendary Gilles Villeneuve, father of 1997 champion Jacques, who drove for Sauber in 2005. Gilles was always remembered for his all or nothing racing style that won him many fans the world over.

10. There were 19 races in the 2005 World Championship but which of these "continents" did the F1 circus NOT visit?

Answer: Africa

There used to be a race in South Africa at the Kyalami track but the last race was held in 1993. A race was also held once in Morocco in 1958 but the calendar hasn't been to Africa since 1993. Talks continued in 2005 about a possible return.
