i love trying to figure out where pictures of the Nurburgring are taken. The top one looks like Hatzenbach but not sure...
Is that an abandoned Porsche 914 in the second pic?! From a support race maybe?

Well thats Jackie in a BRM P261 which makes the year 1965 or 1966 i'm pretty sure its '66

914 was only brought in in '69 so its not that.

Rainer Schlegelmilch but his website seams to be abit broken

It is 1966 I believe. This one always crops up when you search for it too...

Jackie Stewart and Graham Hill - 1966

I always think it looks fake.

Ah nice one, googled that found the corners.

Two more legendary corners were Pflanzgarten and the aptly named Flugplatz - meaning airfield in German - where the cars would get airborne going over the hills.Source

This is a very bad thread for me, I could post all day.

I'd hate to be in Stefan Johansson's place here.



And in the same race plenty of sparks from Patrese's Brabham too!

[Gaz]

I See there's an apprciation for sparks..





Shame you only see them at night now.

And its a shame they don't race at the full ring anymore.

Yup right you are on the 914, the more I look at it the more it looks to me like a Healy or something.

I'm sure that Clark and Stewart one is photoshopped. It could be a still from the opening video to Grand Prix Legends...

I'm a bit of a Nordschleife geek so the shots of the cars airborne are actually just before flugplatz at a point called Quiddelbacher Hohe. Flugplatz was named so because the corner navigates a bank from which gliders had been traditionally launched

I love that pic of Montjuic with the 312 too...

Amanda, is that 3rd pic of yours at Solitude?

[Gaz]

I think its Hill and Stewart in the Pic (well thats the name of the pic anyway)

Well it supposed to be but..


Anyway..



Mclaren's Take on Senna and Mansell

[Amanda]

I agree about the Hill-Stewart one, it definitely looks photoshopped to me which is why I didn't post it originally. I had a look around to try and find an original source but couldn't find one so I assumed it was a fake and posted the Jackie Stewart one instead.

Amanda, is that 3rd pic of yours at Solitude?

According to the place I stole it from, yes. I really wouldn't have a clue otherwise.

[texasmr2]

One thing I think we should consider is that the pic has been enhanced thus giving it the illusion of being photoshopped. I have seen a few of those races and they are indeed getting airborne, I just think the enhancement makes the height seem more than it actually was.

This is a better example of a photoshop moment which bud made a few years back.

[Jabberwocky]

the thing that makes look false to me is that the shadow of the car is too small

Well, here's hope you won't quit your day job

Height plus angle says it all. Of course the shadow is not going to be on a 1/1 scale for several reasons;

1. The quality of the equipment.
2. In the pic the sunlight is coming from our left thus pushing the shadows image inward on the leftside. Notice how the right side shadow almost aligns perfectly with the the wheels?

My point being is that I have seen these old races and they do get seriously airborne. Imagine what it would have looked like with aerodynamics in place??
