This is an awesome picture. The baddest GM car ever made on one of my favorite tracks. Back in the day, long before kids, this was my favorite track to race on with Grand Prix Legends. Can you name the track AND the corner? :D

Great picture....

I would say Nurburgring...Veedol Turn...

Nope, not the Ring. :unibrow:

Monza?

Variante della Roggia?

Spa. Im not sure the name of the corner.

Heh... The internet is cool. It's at Spa, and the corner looks like Eau Rouge. But I could be wrong.

Don't know where but I agree...awesome pic!:yes:

Isn't that Sears Point?

absolutely not sears point or Laguna.

The track is Spa Francorchamps and that corner is known as "Eau Rouge". :thumbsup:

I've been there, seen it from the paddock area, it's like a wall.

The downhill from the paddock area is quite a steep downhill and then the curve and up again like a hillclimber.

Imagine going through it at full throttle in a F1 car.
It is many F1-drivers favourite.

I've got Spa on my Google Earth,my favorite F 1 track.

They didn't run Spa last year in the F1 series, but the year before they did. They interviewed Michael Schuy about the turn, it's a critical part of the track because you need to carry all the momentum through that turn, up the hil, and down a really long straight that follows: if you lift, you lose a significant amount of wide open throttle, death for a lap in F1. So, Michael goes on to say how long it takes before a typical driver is comfortable running through wide open. Then they ask him how long it took for himself to go through. He gets this uber-confident little grin on his face: "not very long." Love him or hate him, the dude is a legend. That turn is probably the most famous on the whole season.

When you watch the F1 cars whiz through there, it sounds like the drivers are lifting the throttle, but the reality is that the forces are so great on the car when it transitions back uphill that it literallyloads/bogs the engines down. At 18k+ RPM.

That is an AWESOME picture. Thanks for sharing.
