Round 7..

This is a multiple part question, but if you know one, you should know everything else (or at least wouldn't be hard to look up) Moving up in time, name the exact car. Lastly, what, if any driver won with that car and where at?

For those interested I uploaded the car manual for the 166 here:

Ferrari 126C4
Alboreto, Michele
1984, Belgian GP at Zolder

 

Michele Alboreto, 126C4, he won in Belgium.

 

It was the first time an Italian had won for Ferrari since Ludovico Scarfiotti won Monza in 1966 and the last time the Belgian GP was held at Zolder.

Round 8..

Trivia: What importance does the following significance have in Ferrari history AND what can the place be identified as?

Latitude: 40.76838° N
Longitude: 73.99281° W

 

It's too much like the multistate bar exam portion!

Who wants to go through that again. Wait, I have to soon. Forget it!

 

Luigi Chinetti's dealership in Manhattan.

 

The exact address was 780 11th Avenue.

 

Nope! It's not an obvious answer.

 

Goodrich-Euzcadi. They started with Pirellis but the Pirellis kept failing, so they switched to the Mexican manufactured Goodrich.

Disclaimer: I did not know the answer off the top of my head, but I knew where to find it!

 

Do you know this stuff by looking it up, or are you just a bin of little known Ferrari knowledge??

 

But what importance on Ferrari history does it have? Just kidding, but its part of the answer.

 

This proves that you're very resourceful and have knowledge of where to find Ferrari trivia...

 

Dude, you have no idea how proud of you I am... That was absolutely amazing... I didn't think anyone would get the answer to that question... Gerald's at home right now, but if he comes into the office tomorrow, he will most definitely confirm that your answer is absolutely complete and correct...

Townshend, you might as well mark Dave up for a point right now...

BlackRX7Turbo, Gerald Roush is the editor and publisher of the Ferrari Market Letter, the longest-running Ferrari publication in history. He's not so much a "little bin" of Ferrari information; more like a bottomless black hole of Ferrari information... The question he asked that FarmerDave got right was off the top of his head; I'd hate to read what he might come up with after giving it some thought or actually looking for a hard question...

Dave, I'm still in awe...

 

Bro, Please. All I did was look it up in a book.

Now, where's that next s/n crossword puzzle????????

 

Doesn't matter... I have all of the answers to all of the Ferrari questions in the world around me in these book cases and file cabinets - but that doesn't mean that I know where to look... Sometimes the simplest question can yield hours of searching because I don't know where to start... One of the first things Gerald told me about being a historian was that you don't need to know and memorize every single thing; a big part of it is knowing where to look...

...you're not gonna try to take my job, are you...?

Been busy, but I'll try and come up with another S/N puzzle soon...

 

Most of you guys amaze the crap out of me... especially those of you that manage to name exacting dimensions of every part that's in every model Ferrari that existed, and pull s/n's out of nowhere....!

I think most of you have forgotten more about Ferraris then I actually know...

 

Who is this distinguished driver of Ferrari? Name one formula race he won in Ferrari.

edit - ok heres a hint, this picture was taken in 2000, he has since passed on.
