Guess the circuit

[tooncheese]

My instinct on seeing a 1978 Brabham is to look for the fan

Looks dark, so is it Monza?

Brands hatch

San Marino?

I'm confused as that looks like Piquet driving the fan car which he didn't... Anyway, as it's the fan car it must be Sweden, which it probably isn't.

Spa?

Montreal

hungary

All incorrect I'm afraid.

It's1978 and Piquet testing Lauda's BT46 B (hence why it has the No. 1 on it) - Silverstone?

I take back my Silverstone and offer Hockenheim instead as there are trees about and one thing S'stone isn't blessed with is many trees. The concrete does look a bit German...

tooncheese you got a bit tricky with this one huh?

The Fan Car raced in Donington as well, with Piquet at the wheel, so that must be it.

You saw through it Keke, at the non-championship 1979 Gunnar Nillson memorial Trophy at Donigton with new signing Nelson Piquet coming home fourth in the time trial.

Your turn

 

[KekeTheKing]

Have a go at this one.

Jerez?

 

[KekeTheKing]

OK, my bad. That was apparently much too easy. What gave it away? The somewhat barren landscape?

Valencia (Circuit Ricardo Tormo, not the seaside one) - pre-season testing in 2009, I think

non-championship 1979

I thought we agreed no non-championship?!

Gentleman's agreements never go to plan, I thought you might have learned that lesson from F1!

However it did host a championship F1 race in 1993, so I just threw in the curve ball of a car from the wrong era on the track,

Oh my, talk of a ruse!

No resolution = no clues!!

Well you can rule out India and Korea with grass that green...

 

[mjo]

Catalunya?

 

[landogeorgelewis1]

Melbourne, Austrailla?

Hm...let's see.

That Ferrari still has the barcode, Ferrari dropped their barcode early on in the season. So it has to be before the Monaco Grand Prix.

It can't be Bahrain or China, as I don't recall them having grass off track...

I think Coach is right, think it might be Australia. If it isn't Australia then it's either Malaysia or Catalunya as mjo says. If not either of them, then it's probably a current F1 testing track.

Bahrain?
