No point in me taking that quiz, I know nothing about the previous turbo era :(
To be fair, I’d have trouble with a quiz about a season more than 2-3 years old. I watched avidly and followed all the tech too, but I remember little.

@keithcollantine
Looking at the Quiz leaderboard, it appears I have taken only 26 quizzes. Is there a way to know which ones I have not done ?
Also, some members have taken 38 quizzes, while it seems there is only 34 available (seasons: 9; drivers: 12; teams 2; races: 11). How come ?

There should be a quiz version “Turbo era for dummies”. That actually might not be a bad idea for all quizzes for the period of 1950-1990-ish.
But then again, this is F1Fanatic… but then again, this is not Historical F1Fanatic and a lot of readers were not yet even born in the Turbo era.

Patrese’s first name’s spelled “Ricciardo” in one question! Muscle memory or something…
