    100% here. I *might* have struggled a bit if asked to list all the
    venues without hints.

    to take stock by looking at what we still have rather than
    what we have already lost. - M. Gessen

    Same here. Got 100%, but there would have been one track I know I would
    have missed if I had to list them without the hints.

    I would DEFINITELY have struggled if they'd simply asked for all the
    venues without hints.

    Yep, 100% here too. The multiple choice element made it fairly easy (at
    least for an oldie like me).

    Mine was 80%, some of the older events were guesses.

    I'll say that the oldies were fairly educated guesses for me.

    It just took thinking about where racing was realistically big enough in
    those eras.

    Ok, IrCOm just getting around to this (got lost in my feedrCa)

    I hit 90%. Got tripped up by the one-offs. I was sure Sebring held more
    than one race. I donrCOt know why, I just was.

    I found the pictures as much help as the clues.
