FRONTSTRETCH TRIVIA:~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Q: After the dark race weekend in 1994, at Imola, there were a series of rule changes made to Formula One. For instance A speed limit for the pit lane was introduced, as was a rule to keep crewmembers out of pit boxes unless they were setting up for stops, or actually working on the car. Previously, the pit lane was unrestricted and crews would mill about in their stalls for the entire race. What kind of rule changes were made to the cars as a result?
Check back Monday for the answer, here in the Frontstretch Newsletter!
Thursday's Answer:
Thursday's Answer:
Q: In 1994, the sluggish European economy led to the highest number of drivers earning race seats in recent years. How many drivers competed for one of the 14 teams that season?
A: No less than 46 drivers competed in Formula One in 1994. Only four of the 14 teams (Tyrrell, Footwork, Minardi and Pacific) attempted to qualify with the same two drivers for all the races. On the other hand, two teams (Lotus and Simtek) each used six drivers, while one car from each of those teams had five different drivers.
