Because he got an injury of his eyes, racing was no longer possible (hard to translate, sorry, schooltime is long ago  ) Regards, Bernd

Fine! Btw: his eyes were lateron good enough to recognize a Pablo Motoya and bring him to F1..... Now a question of those guys, which were not so "lucky" then him: who was the first, who died during a race? Regards, Bernd

Hmmm.....research suggests it was Chet Miller in the 1953 Indy 500, which at the time was part of the F1 world championship...?

Sorry, wrong answer. He died in the training, not in the race. Regards, Bernd

Thankyou TH,
My question:
Like most F1 stars, Ayrton Senna began the long road to becoming Formula One World Champion in Go-Karts. On what date - and I want you to give the actual day of the week it was on, not JUST the date as such - did Ayrton Senna win his FIRST 'Professional' Go-Kart race, where was it held and who was the hot favourite driver in that same race, that Ayrton Senna beat first time out??

Correct Diddy, well done!! 
Glad you found that question a bit testing, as they are generally too easy and I think we need to make them a little harder!!
Your go mate?

Correct!
Al Pease is the only F1 driver to be disqualified from a race for driving too slowly. He was racing in a 3 year old car, and qualified 11 seconds off pole position. When he was black flagged he had done 22 laps, but the leaders were up to lap 40!
Your question :-)
