Tough question , any ideas
« on: December 23, 2004, 06:07:07 pm »
Hi,

I don't suppose anyone knows the answer to the question below. Or perhaps has any ideas on possible links I could try and research. I thought perhaps they could share the same birthday, or have been educated at the same university. Cronenbergs birthday is 15th March 1943, and he went to Toronto University.

The question -  

What is the connection between a Le Mans winning ex GP driver and the film director David Cronenberg?


Thanks
Chris

It's Catherine Zeta-Jones again. No doubt about it.

Ok, enough of the BS, any proper answers as its a serious question. Grand Prix was directed by Frankenhiemer or someone with a name like that that I probably can't spell. Thanks, although not the answer, Bobblehat has made the most sesible suggestion.

David Cronenberg directed the film "Crash", which got of a lot of Daily Mail readers very upset - it was not a very good film, not that I would watch such tosh (dont read the Daily Mail either!) So I guess that one of the producers was an ex GP driver LM winner, or a stunt driver, or came out against said movie.

Cronenberg also made a drag racing film back in 1979 called "Fast Company" perhaps a driver was involved with that film in a similar way, either driving, or coordinating stunts.

Crash wasn't that bad, anything that has Holly Hunter getting shagged in a car can't be all that bad !

Hi Chris24,
                 David races a Cooper Monaco. Not sure if that fits anything?  Name the GP drivers who have won Le Mans and someone might see a connection.

Hi Chris24,
                Further research: David owns a 1961
Cooper F1 Car and the 1963 Cooper Monaco.
For no particular reason but try Bruce McLaren
