Another fun idea that i can post daily is a simple challenge to name a driver from Motorsports history using just a picture. Could be from any form of Motorsports and Maybe I will give some clues if there are struggles. Otherwise I will give the answer after about 24 hours. Good Luck and have fun.

Renzo Zorzi! He was the teammate of Tom Pryce on that fateful day. Now this is going to be a fun game. That took some research there haha!

 

[Josh]

Well done!! he was one of Frank William's early drivers and unfortunately the cause of an accident that killed two marshals, i believe.
I will try to have a new one for tommorow.

Super idea Smokey!

Thanks for hosting it

 

[Josh]

Thanks Eddy! Will Do!

Renzo now runs a driving school in Italy and he was born on the same date a Emerson Fittipaldi. He raced for Williams and Shadow briefly in the mid 70's.

 

[Josh]

I will give the answer in 24 hours or so if no one gets it. Good Luck. I am trying to find some hard ones, we will see how I did.

I'm not too good with old NASCAR drivers beside famous ones.

The accident killed one marshal and Renzo's teammate Tom Pryce. Renzo's car broke down, had a little fire..and two marshals ran across the track (at the top of a crest) and Tom hit one of the marshals who was carrying a fire extinguisher which crushed Tom's head and killed him instantly as well. It's a pretty graphic accident :/

 

[Josh]

Yes that is the one, just a gruesome awful moment in F1, Formula 1 has had far too many marshal deaths thru the years.

 

[CreepyVanMan]

Also, at my old job, we used to play a similar game where we could only see the drivers eyes and would guess who it was. you'd be surprised how many you could get! All them "focused driver" shots you see on TV really helps I guess.

I'll try to do some research when I get home and see if I can get this one..I feel like I should know who it is...gahh!

 

[tonyg54]

Is it Ricky Bobby?
JK

Did Billy Standridge just pass away?

 

[E Rod_017]

Dale sr?

 

[Josh]

@ Tony yes he did and that is why i choose him, he drove a car sponsored by Jayski.com which is the number one site for nascar info. They paid tribute to him at darlington over the weekend, which by the way was one hell of a race. well done Tony

 

[Josh]

Here is a new one for today

 

[mairandeddy]

**topics merged**

In order to keep everything tidy and to build your concept into a DX institution Smokey!

 

[The Collector]

Prince Bira

Love his racing colours on this Maserati

 

[Josh]

Well Done collector B Bira is the only Prince to ever participate in F1. He did drive for Maserati, he never won a race but did win 2 non champ races. He also participated in three different olympics and Until the amazing Alex Yoong, he was the only Asian Pacific driver in F1 history. He was basically the most interesting man in the world. He also drove some of those little Gordini's. Thanks for posting the pic.

And Eddy thank you for the merge

 

[CreepyVanMan]

Darn I was too late today I knew that one!

 

[Josh]

Good Luck!!

 

[Rafael Oliveira]

I can tell you that he was a dutchman born in 1919, he raced his first F1 GP in 1952 and died in 1992.

I won't say his name because I don't know him and just cheated, but it is nice to learn about drivers, so thanks!
