I created a quiz in Sporcle target is to name all reject drivers since 1990. Kudos to the one who finds one special thing in a quiz.

Holy bathplugging shite.

by **shinji** » 12 Nov 2009, 05:46

42/77. You may laugh, but you try it.

Edit - did it again, got 56. This is hard.

by **thehemogoblin** » 12 Nov 2009, 05:48

49. Thank you, comprehensive history of Minardi drivers located in my head.

by **Valrys** » 12 Nov 2009, 05:57

50. And once I saw the ones I'd missed I was kicking myself

by **thehemogoblin** » 12 Nov 2009, 05:59

I remembered Apicella but forgot van de Poele.

by **BlindCaveSalamander** » 12 Nov 2009, 06:22

48. Can't believe I forgot HWNSNBM. I'm ashamed of myself. Though it should be 49, I remembered Vitantonio Liuzzi, but couldn't spell his name right.

by **Warren Hughes** » 12 Nov 2009, 06:24

49. Forgot Taki Inoue, among others. Might I suggest, however, that Ratzenberger's name be removed, as he is not eligible for F1 rejects because of the tragedy that befell him.

by **Phoenix** » 12 Nov 2009, 07:28

Only 40

by **Collieafc** » 12 Nov 2009, 07:36

I gave up, my spelling was letting me down!

by **tristan1117** » 12 Nov 2009, 10:16

45 first time, 56 the second time. Jaime Alguersuari is the hardest name to spell since Chiesa (not Chisea).

by **Enforcer** » 12 Nov 2009, 10:55

You got 59 out of 77 F1 drivers with no better than 4th; 5th and 6th; or three 6th places since 1990.

You left out Berttaggia, btw. And I actually missed one that's on the current grid.

Bertaggia never actually participated in a race in the 1990s, so I think it's fair enough he left him off the list

by **Pieman** » 12 Nov 2009, 22:42

But the likes of Bartels, Amati, Langes and Chaves are there, so Bertaggia surely should be. (Edit: I get what you mean now - as in he never actually drove in a GP weekend.)

I got 51/77 - Marques and Rosset were among those I didn't get, and I also spelt Sebastien wrong for Buemi and Bourdais. :oops:

by **Tealy** » 13 Nov 2009, 01:19

47. I missed Ide dammit! Also forgot the likes of Bourdais and Pantano, but most of who I missed where the ones before my time.

by **Waris** » 13 Nov 2009, 01:38

I got 53.
Most of the ones I forgot were ones I should have gotten, though! I had a lot of fun playing this.
Shouldn't Bruno Giacomelli also be on this list, btw? And Óscar Larrauri?

by **midgrid** » 13 Nov 2009, 03:48

61! Can't believe I missed Nakajima though.

Giacomelli got enough results in his Alfa Romeo days to escape rejectdom, and Larrauri only competed from 1988 to 1989.

Here's a new challenge ... after a few goes I imagine that you'd be able to name all 77. What's the best time to name all of them?

I'm currently standing on 3min 54s (ie 7min 6s left on the clock).

That's full on amazing. You have clearly been infused with the spirit of HWNSNBM (the Hungarian god of lists).

by **FullMetalJack** » 14 Nov 2009, 08:14

57 out of 77. Not bad. Can't believe I forgot Mccarthy even though he was before my time. I only remembered Grosjean with 2 minutes left. :oops:

47... how did I miss some of them I will never know

by **watka** » 14 Nov 2009, 23:10

56, I missed Inoue!

by **MinardiFan95** » 19 Nov 2009, 20:57

A shameful 37 for me, caused by using my Life Racing Engines keyboard instead of my Ferrari keyboard (well, they do look quite similar) .

by **tommykl** » 06 May 2010, 03:01

I got 62. Can't believe i missed Zanardi! I'm trying this again.

66 Grrrrrrrrrrrrrr.

68. Come on!

Now i got 74! I missed Grouillard, Winkelhock and Magnussen.

by **Pointrox** » 06 May 2010, 03:36

25 out of 77

How could I miss Burti, Buemi, Grosjean, Takagi, Noda or Montermini?

Eh...

by **tristan1117** » 06 May 2010, 04:58

Hooray for 6 month bumps! I got a 35, missing Anthony Davidson and Nakano among many others.

by **crazydude1992** » 06 May 2010, 05:09

33.

Tried it again and got 65. Wake me up in six months...

by **FullMetalJack** » 06 May 2010, 06:29

When I first tried this, I had no idea who Michael Bartels is. I only do now because he's on the 1991 mod for GP4.

by **Stramala** » 06 May 2010, 06:59

48/77. Would have been 52/77 had it not been for my awful spelling!!! Infact probably more, considering I googled Stéphane Sarrazin to get the spelling right which cost me over half a minute :oops:

by **Aerond** » 06 May 2010, 08:27

36/77 in the first try!

by **Aerond** » 06 May 2010, 08:29

by the way, where´s Boullion??

29 - astonshingly hard, but great fun. Thanks, Bleu!

by **Bleu** » 06 May 2010, 16:26

I updated the data, so it's now including 2010 debutants!

by **LucaPacchiarini** » 06 May 2010, 23:39

45 at the first attempt... I can't believe I missed King Badoer

by **The Passenger** » 07 May 2010, 02:34

52. Could have gone better, but not too horrible for my first attempt.
