Thanks Duks!

Another one from the "Who am I" family, it's easy (reverse psychology, because when I say it's hard, people guess in a few minutes) :

I am the son of a former Formula One champion, but I was never in F1. However, I competed in the good old Formula 3000 for 3 (three) seasons. I wasn't a notable driver in that series, in fact, there was only one time I scored points in a F3000 race. But I won 3 (three) different championships before F3000. It just turned it out that I was unlucky in F3000. I'm involved with historic racing nowadays.

So, who am I?

[Herbal]

If I'm right, he'll be Paul Stewart, son of Jackie Stewart.

[The Grimeloid]

No, it's not.

Tip: The father was an ONE-TIME Formula One champion

[RobertRacer]

Derek Hill, son of 1961 World Champion Phil Hill.

[The Grimeloid]

Derek Hill, son of 1961 World Champion Phil Hill.

Your question, Rob... because you're right!

[RobertRacer]

Let's continue the ''Who am I?'' story:

''I'm the son of a F1 champion. I also made it in the Formula 1, but I was only signed in 2 F1 races, but I couldn't qualify for any of it. But it doesn't mean, that I'm a bad driver. 1 year before F1 I became champion of the British F3000. After F1 I won the 12 hours of Sebring. A few years later, I retired from motorsport to teach advanced driver training. One of my pupils was a very known British comedian. So, who am I?''

[Herbal]

The person in question is Gary Brabham.

[RobertRacer]

More righter then right isn't possible. Your turn.

[Herbal]

Next question then, yet again in "who am I" category:

• My father is a founder of a motocycle company, however I've established a career on 4 tires, winning in gokart and in Italian F3
• In 1989 I've been a jump-in driver for a fellow Italian, whose success has come later, mostly with a German marque
• My first point in F1 could be thanked for Alain Prost's decision
• Alongside and after my F1 career, I've raced in various touringcar events, even won against some super stars...
• Got a wife, who is originating from Hungary

Question is, who am I?

[NicolasP]

Ivan Capelli?

[Herbal]

Nope, he is not.

[RobertRacer]

Gianni Morbidelli

[Herbal]

Gianni Morbidelli

And for the millionth time, Robert is right!

• Gianni's father has been the founder of Morbidelli bike factory
• Jumped in to the place of Emanuele Pirro in 1989
• In 1991, Alain Prost left Ferrari mid-season, and Morbidelli could jump in. So could he score an incredible amount of 0,5 point.
• Since 1997 he's raced in BTCC, WTCC and Superstars (which he's won in 2007 and last year, hence did I use super stars...

[RobertRacer]

Next question, also ''Who am I?''

''I was also a F1 driver, but I wasn't successful. Before F1 I drove in the British Formula Ford, the F3 of my homeland and in the International F3000 series. There I also weren't very good. In the 90s I became for my homerace, thanks to my sponsors, a cockpit in a F1 race, but I retired after 3 laps. Because of my sponsors I also get a F1 cockpit for the next full season. In this season I was involved in 2 very strange accidents. In the next year I signed a contract with a F1 team, which won, after a name change, with a young German a F1 race and which is today also in F1. But because one of my sponsors pulled out, I lost the contract. After ending my career, I'm managing drivers from my home country. And, at least, I today call myself as the worst F1 driver ever. Who am I?''

[NicolasP]

Taki Inoue?

[RobertRacer]

Again right.

[NicolasP]

Who won the 1962 Isle of Man TT 50cc Ultra-Lightweight TT and what what time raced (HH/MM/SS)

[RobertRacer]

The (West)German Ernst Degner won the 50cc class of the 1962 Isle of Man with a total time of 1:00.16.4 on 2 laps on a Suzuki.

[NicolasP]

[RobertRacer]
