Title: Re:LM Trivia 8 Post by: hgb on October 17, 2003, 01:25:22 pm 1964 ?
Title: Re:LM Trivia 8 Post by: Mr. Rick on October 17, 2003, 01:27:08 pm The year I was born, but not the right answer I'm afraid.
Earlier...... Title: Re:LM Trivia 8 Post by: Gilles on October 17, 2003, 02:45:57 pm Could I say 1949 as the reopening edition ?? ???
Title: Re:LM Trivia 8 Post by: Mr. Rick on October 17, 2003, 03:09:44 pm Closer Gilles, there was something that happened that gave rise to the thought of the signalling post in terms of safety.
Title: Re:LM Trivia 8 Post by: hgb on October 17, 2003, 03:21:36 pm Was there a Ferrari involved ? If yes then it was some time in the 1950s.
Title: Re:LM Trivia 8 Post by: Mr. Rick on October 17, 2003, 03:30:55 pm No to the Ferrari comment but yes to the 1950s!
Title: Re:LM Trivia 8 Post by: Gilles on October 17, 2003, 03:40:25 pm So it could be nothing but 1956 !!!
Title: Re:LM Trivia 8 Post by: Mr. Rick on October 17, 2003, 03:46:05 pm Wahhaaaayyy!! Well done Gilles!!
It was indeed part of the modifications made in the name of safety after the 1955 accident. |
