FRONTSTRETCH TRIVIA:

Q:  In 1992, the FIA formally booted the Andrea Moda team out of the World Championship.  Why?

Check back Tuesday for the answer, here in the Frontstretch Newsletter!

Friday's Answer:

Q:   In the run up to the 1996 Rolex 24 at Daytona, ESPN's Marty Reid was able to convince one of the GTS-2 teams to let him have at it in testing with one of their cars for a piece that eventually aired during the broadcast of the race.  For what team was Reid driving and what car was he in control of?

A:  Reid got behind the wheel of a GTS-2 class BMW M3 from PTG (Prototype Technology Group) and did some laps at some speed.  Reid, who has some racing experience, was actually not too bad in the car.
