You're looking for 190E 2.3-16, with the Cosworth engine.

No sir, 190E 16v is not it.

Neither is Audi, of any sort.

The car is not German.

wild assed guess since its similar vintage, chrysler k-car turbos?

It is from Europe, but not Germany, Italy, France, or the UK (if you consider it Europe)

Total guess, hinted by Alfa Romeo and European but not Germany Italy France or UK:

SAAB 9000

Eastern Europe.

Skoda of some fashion? I thought I saw this on Top gear once.

Getting warmer.

VW beetle? Not sure about the DeDion part, but the transaxle IS in the back.

Wrong question, sir. The answer to that question was Volvo 300 series :)

It wasn't the Lada Niva or whatever it is was it?

Or was it in fact, the almighty Yugo?

I got no more eastern block cars, except for Trabant, and I'm pretty sure those are STILL two stroke.

yea, I is dumb! I even had a guess for this new question earlier and failed at that too.

Correct sir, the EFI Yugo used Motronic with a 60-2 crank wheel and a MAP sensor.

This actually is something I learned on this very board many years ago.

bump! mndsm you need to ask a question.

Platinum90, go ahead and ask a new question.

Four parter...

Who designed the first Carbon Monocoque chassis in formula 1, what was it's chassis code, what engine powered it, and who drove it?

In reply to Platinum90:

McLaren

MP4-1

TAG-Porsche

Watson

????

the designer was John Barnard.

Technically, at the time, the car was named the MP4, and was later known as the MP4/1 after the MP4/2 was released.

The other driver was Andrea De Cesaris.

Close enough, you have the board!

Thread has been down for 6 days. We cannot have this...

okay, so here goes another one.

Sebastien Vettel broke several records this season en route to the Formula 1 title. What did Mark Webber break?

His car?

The age record. Youngest Champion ever, IIRC..he broke Emerson Fittipaldi's record from 1972.

EDIT: I can't read. I was talking about Vettel. Webber broke his shoulder on a mountain bike or something, didn't he?

Yep, the edited answer was exactly what I was looking for.

Now you ask something. You seem to know all the history, ask something good!

Where was the first Formula One race in the United States held? Extra points if you can name the year. I can't recall who won it, but I can look it up if you'd like to guess..
