The first list I have absolutely no idea, and I'm going to have to think about it, but the second one I'm going for places gained throughout the season?

A clue: the two lists are not exactly unrelated...

A few more...

Q2.
Group 1: Ajokay, Bookoi, TommyB, Javaguy
Group 2: RumblyLizard, Smifaye, Shouty, Tomcheesey

Two colourful groups, but what separates them?

Q3.
RumblyLizard has claim to one impressive record from season. Shouty holds the exact opposite record. Can you bridge the gap and tell me what these records are?

Q4.
Who said "Argh, I'm being chased by a Guinness and Coke"?

Q5.
When asked mid-race "What happened?", who solemnly replied "Shouty happened"?

Q6.
Who drove so fast he slipped into a parallel universe?

Q7.
Who's car number is also his age?

Q8.
What comical achievement can Tomcheesey and Smifaye both lay claim to?

Q9.
What was RRR's first ever banned car?

Enjoy :mrgreen:

I did include him, but his numbers are zero and zero. Could be a clue? ;)

OOOOOOK. This is a brilliant idea btw :D

Q1.

Total overtakes? (including re-overtaking). The first list might be the most amount of overtakes in one race?

Q.2

hmmm its the top 4 and the bottom 4 on the table. Not sure what other things link the 2. Is the first group what Tommy described as the 'fail group'? ;)

Q.3

I think my impressive record is that I started the season with DNF's and ended with wins. Shouty started with wins and ended with a DNF/DNS

Q.4

Alex?

Q.5

smifaye?

Q.6

Tomcheeeeeeeesey

Q.7

Shouty?

Q.8

Finishing a race in the pitlane

Q.9

Porsche 550!

I guess Q5 is a bit obscure - it was actually yours truly after getting wiped out in dramatic fashion at Motegi :)

You've got all the answers bar the first three.

Q1... Who will be the first to answer this?

Q2... I guess one of these groups believes in the spice of life...

Q3... This is a tough one - you might work it out but its marginal...

First one could be those who won races and those who didn't (or those who won more than 1 race as I think Alex won one?)

Right then, time for some answers...

Q1. These two lists are races lead and laps lead throughout season one. Had to go through every lap of every race for this! Will add to the stats page of the wiki at some point.

Q2. Bit of an obscure question I guess but I thought the clues made it pretty easy! Group 1 generally kept the same colour scheme through the whole season; group 2's varied.

Q3. RumblyLizard holds the record for greatest winning margin: 17.115s in Race 20.
Shouty holds the record for narrowest: 0.236s in Race 1.
