I really thought you were being sneaky with the motor racing question as you didn't specify "F1".
Thank you for a fun quiz and well done to all slight_smile

Thank you @MI5 and @Cleoriff for your comments

I`m pleased you enjoyed the quiz.

As for being "sneaky", @Cleoriff spotted it - having "hawtorn" as the answer to two questions.

 

Hope you, and everyone, likes the categories and questions in today`s quiz which is now up on a separate thread, and will be taking part.

Good luck.

Not sure about being a genuis @LukasB . Old age plays a part rofl

Also have a love of quizzes. Watch most of them on TV and take part in pub quizzes when I can.

Most importantly, my husband used to be a 'quizmaster'. Still runs quizzes to raise money for charity and his bowls club.

However, I rarely get a physics question right!!!LOL
