[RobertRacer]

No. I mean, the shortest race after kilometers...

[zgr]

305,270 km
Canada, Montreal

[RobertRacer]

Right. Your question.

[zgr]

Which former Formula 1 Drivers competed in DTM-Season 2006?

[puttz]

Jean Alesi and Mika Häkkinen.

[zgr]

Jean Alesi and Mika Häkkinen.

Almost right, one driver is missing

[Herbal]

Häkkinen, Alesi, Nicolas Kiesa and Heinz-Harald Frentzen.

[zgr]

Häkkinen, Alesi, Nicolas Kiesa and Heinz-Harald Frentzen.

Ou yeah, even Nicolas Kiesa

Your right Mr. Herbal, your turn

[RobertRacer]

Mr. Herbal, your turn.

[Herbal]

Thanks, Robert, I get it. ^^

So it's time to guess again, who am I:

• My father named me after a manufacturer marque
• I've got a twin, who is also racing
• In Formula Lotus I've lost to someone, who died next year during race
• Since I didn't have that much success in Europe, I've moved to Japan, and won there in 1996
• I'm currently racing with touring cars

[NicolasP]

David Brabham?

[Herbal]

David Brabham?

No, he's not.

[RobertRacer]

Ralf Schumacher?

[Herbal]

Cold, cold... However Ralf Schumacher and the person in question were teammates once.

[DuklaLiberec]

It's got to be Tom Coronel.

[Herbal]

It's got to be Tom Coronel.

DING! DING! DING! DING!

Indeed, because...

• The full name is Tom Romeo Coronel
• His twin is Tim Alfa Coronel (sic!)
• In 1994 he finished second in Formula Lotus behind Marco Campos, who lost his life in Magny-Cours at an F3000 race
• Coronel has won Formula Nippon in 1999
• And he's racing for ROAL in World Touring Car Championship

And in 1995 he was racing in German F3 for WTS, with Ralf Schumacher.

[zgr]

Since I didn't have that much success in Europe, I've moved to Japan, and won there in 1996

I looked for Japanese Racing Series in 1996

[RobertRacer]

I also. I looked Formula Nippon/Jpanese GT 1996.

[Herbal]

Actually, I have made a mistake, I've swapped in the question the two Japanese competitions Tom had taken part... :/ Nevertheless, I've still thought about about him as an answer.

[RobertRacer]

@Dukla: It's your part to post a question.

[DuklaLiberec]

No need to remind me of that, Robert.

Okay, now your task is to guess an interesting personality who was not a racing driver, though.

I became interested in motorsports while I used to work for Ford Motor Company. For this reason, I had become clerk of the course at a well-known Belgian race track before I was involved with Formula One. Fast forward ten years or so, I was charged with the death of a legendary sportsman but fortunately, all charges were dropped eventually. Later on however, I left all my Formula One roles and became race director of a Touring Car series and its successor instead yet I had to resign from this position after I had failed to maintain order in a race which got out of hand as a result.

So, who am I?

[Herbal]

Probably Jacky Ickx.

[ivaneurope]

Probably Jacky Ickx.

Read the question carefully:

who was not a racing driver

[The Grimeloid]

I think it is Roland Bruynserade (dunno how to write that surname)

[ivaneurope]

I think it is Roland Bruynserade (dunno how to write that surname)

Yup, he is - Roland Bruynseraede was indeed a F1 circuit inspector, who was charged for the death of none other than Ayrton Senna.

@Dukla, I think you can reciognise his answer as correct.
