As a change from the monthly Crossword Puzzle , and being the right devious
"bar steward" that I am , I have compiled a fairly taxing quiz on motorsport of all various types through the ages . So on with your thinking caps , consume copious amounts of alcohol to stimulate grey matter activity , and set your minds to answering as many of the following questions as you can. The quiz covers Formula One, Touring Car, Rallying, Leman`s Sports Cars, Indy Car and details pertinent to various racing circuits.
For those that feel totally desperate and have to cheat , the answers can be found elsewhere in this magazine section.
