P34 was the first man with the correct answer, Everso second, Phil Neville third.
Gelleråsen is situated about 5km outside of Karlskoga, the pics was taken by me at the STCC-race there last august.
It's definitely a Swedish track. I have a video, which I cannot locate, that shows Per Eklund driving his Saab 9-3 around that very same corner.
Warren, if you can find that video, could you please post it then? Ive seen Per Eklund driving his Saab but never on Gelleråsen, it was at Mantorp Park that I saw it.

I'll post when I find it.

EDIT: I was mistaken. This is the video:

The corner looks similar, but the surroundings are not even close! :roll:
What if?

I'd have said number 2 were Clermont-Ferrand.

The first one though, hmmm. :shock: Mugello?

First one is easy, it's Spa. Probably the chicane at Malmedy. Second one I don't know, looks like something Italian, but it isn't...

Hold it, hold it right there... So, Rob Semmeling did get it right with the first one, well done! :thumbsup:
It is indeed 'Old' Spa-Francorchamp. Photo taken during the 1974 Spa 1000 km, in the twisty section after 'Les Combes' leading to 'Burnenville' bend (you can see the 'white' house from afar).

For the second one, it isn't Brno either. Keep trying... Has anyone recognised the driver of the Ford-Lotus yet? If you do, you should be able to identify the circuit as well. Another hint: this pic dates from 1966... no more. :wow:
