Back by popular demand, it’s the fiendish DSC Christmas Quiz, this year in two parts, with 25 questions today and 25 tomorrow.
This year we’ll be offering a prize to the reader who gets the most answers right, one point per correct answer.
The winner will receive a goodie bag drawn from the Editor’s private sportscar swag stash!
No apologies are offered for the somewhat obscure nature of one or two of the questions you will find over the two days.
To enter, please all send your answers to each question in one batch, with the subject line DSC CHRISTMAS QUIZ ANSWERS, to stephen.kilbey@dailysportscar.com.
In case of a tie, we reserve the right to undertake a blind draw. The Editor’s decision is final.
Entries close 00:01 UK time on 30th December 2024. We will contact the winner directly.
