    Not quite and certainly not a fiddle.

    The Formula 1 world championship wasn’t only run at the IOM TT, some years it was run in eight different countries on some of the most dangerous circuits in the world.
    The F2 and F3 championships had less races in the year.

    The Formula championships were drop in 1990 IIRC as the new World Superbike series was proving to be successful.

    Close, but not quite what I was getting at.

    I am trying not to see Diane Abbott’s immense intellectual qualities in everyone I see - it is clearly unfair and discriminatory.

    Hah. McLarens are always orange. The other F1 car is from the same 3 litre era. Very distinctive design would tell you who the driver was.
