20) Moises Solana raced a BRM P57 at the 1963 Mexican Grand Prix with 13
It has been seen on a formula one event since with Davina Galica who always raced with 13, in 1974, but she failed to qualify.
I've mentioned elsewhere that I met her a few times on the ferries.

[ Was that the race (Austria 1975 I think!!) where he crashed after winning? Yep that was the one Q, Brambilla's only Grand Prix win came in the rain shortened 29 lap Austrian Grand Prix in 1975. He actually spun through the finishing line to win. |

However I will give you a bonus point if you can name the other 4 drivers along with Rindt who did not compete the season after they won the World Championship. |

Dont modify the post after someone else has posted or if it has been marked. Only modify if yours is the last post, instead of having half a dozen posts in a row.

The problem was that I hadnt refresehed the page so I didn't realise Nigel had posted after me until I modified my post which refreshed it.
Perhaps I should give up this quiz lark and concentrate on bar billiards.

I have encountered the same problem as Q, KP. It occurs when the quizmaster tries to score before there's a lull. In such circumstances, it's up to the quizmeister to be super vigilant.
Q also mentioned an exceptional circumstance yesterday, when multiple edits are made by more than one person, where the quizmeister has a problem with working out who's answered first by looking at the timing of the edits. In one quiz Sav and I were trying to out-clever each other on a difficult sequential number quiz. In such circumstances, if people are giving the correct answer within a few minutes of each other, I allow both contestants the point.
