accept Briatore for Flavio Briatore. It's a Jetpunk standard to accept last names unless there's a compelling reason to do otherwise.

Actually scratch that. I can't even get the quiz to accept Flavio Briatore and i even copied and pasted the answer to make sure it was correct, but it didn't work.

Fixed -- there was an old type-in from a changed question. Works fine now -- let me know if you have any other trouble.

For "Longest running Formula One race"

Accept British Grand Prix aswell, both have hosted a race since 1950.

Great quiz.

Great comment -- I actually looked it up and changed this answer to British GP because it's actually the longest running continuous GP. While Italy has run for as many years, the 1980 Italian grand prix was in Imola, so technically the British is the more correct answer - thanks!

Now I understand, how you meant it!

First, I thought it asks for the longest race on a day, like Canada 2011...
