    a -2008
    b -2009
    c -2010

    2. Correctly spell F.I.A in it's French form! (You don't need to put the accents on letters)

    3. During 2010, what was the total global television audience of F1?
    a -427 million
    b -527million
    c -627 million

    4. Who was the first F1 World Champion?
    a - Alberto Ascari
    b - Juan Manuel Fangio
    c - Guiseppe Farina

    5. In 1968 Lotus introduced sponsorship to F1 by featuring the livery of which product on their cars:
    a - Woodbines
    b - Marlboro Red
    c - Imperial Leather
    d - Imperial Tobacco
    e - none of the above

    6. Hermann Tilke is designing the new F1 circuit in India, but who is the landscape designer for the venue?
    a - Gustafo Potius Enterprises
    b - Design Cell
    c - Simon Singh Venture Designers
    d - Prince Charles

    7. What is the minimum current weight permissable of an F1 car, including engine, fluids and driver?

    a- 640kg
    b- 709kg

    Good luck, post your scores if you check the answers, but not the answers themselves, with the spelling it has to be spot on or its a wrong answer. No google/ wikiing please until all seven answered otherwise its too easy!

    Nice to see a fellow Pyschoville fan on here, Reece Shearsmith is a local lad to me, was brought up in Hull, if there was a League of Gentlemen quiz on here I'd be near the top I reckon!!

    Watched all of Series 2 yesterday in preparation for tonight's finale. I was surprised how much bigger the story is than where Series 1 ended. It's high comedy. The characters are amazingly rich and fascinating. Have you seen The Cottage?

    Hope you enjoy it. Obviously it's not the same thing, not being written or directed by the LoG team and Shearsmith only plays one part but it's similarly disturbing. Can't say too much about it until you've watched it.

    Ah you see. Traction Control was banned in 2008.

    I got 6/7 though. As Genji says No.6 caught me out.
