A second guess the circuit multi puzzle leading on from my first (which can be found at http://www.autopuzzles.com/forum/index.php?topic=8668.0). These should (hopefully) be harder in general but there are a few easier ones thrown in to get things going. Same rules as the first puzzle. No points for the cars ID, one point for each correct circuit ID. I will except the name the circuit is generally known by (ie if is has a longer but rarely used official name) but I won't except the name of the city/town the circuit is located in or the name of the race if the circuit has a distinct and different name (I'll use my discrection in any marginal cases). I'll award points as they are won not at the end and the circuits correctly identified will be shown below. Pictures will follow in the next few posts. :)
GTC201 Angiuleme (75America) point awarded
GTC202 San Sebastien (D-Type) point awarded

Great, 250GTO, that there's a new GTC puzzle!
#206 should be Circuit de Reims - Gueux.
Yep first one down goes to you as it did last time...
It is indeed the Reims pits in the 1932 French GP with Rudolf Caracciola's Alfa Romeo B P3 shown on his way to 3rd.
I'm not an expert on this, but great pics, great puzzle! :applause:
Let's have a try: GTC210: Porsche 804 running at Solitude?
Got the car a little wrong (its a 718 not an 804) but that doesn't matter. It is indeed Solitude, Carel de Beaufort racing there in 1964. 1 point 2u
Could #204 be the Rennstrecke Dessau ?
GTC207= Tourist Trophy, Isle of Man?
Sorry Allemano, two good guesses but neither is right.

???
Oops sorry to Allemano and Dynamike :-[ not sure how I made that stupid mistake. One good guess from both of you but neither is right is what I meant to say.
Great puzzle, 250gto! Well, not going too deep, here are some of my thoughts:
204 - Dresden-Hellerau
209 - Sitjes Terramar?
213 - Pau?
219 - Mellaha (Tripoli)
Ok Faksta.
GTC204 is Dresden-Hellerau: Hans Klenk's Veritas Meteor in the 1951 Autobahnspinne Dresden F2 race.
GTC209 is not Sitjes and GTC213 is not Pau
GTC219 is indeed Mellaha, Luigi Villoresi's Maserati 4CL streamliner in the voiturette Tripoli GP of 1939.
So two points 2u.
As an aside the Tripoli GP was originally held at a circuit called Tripoli but this was completly different to the better known Mellaha circuit which is sometimes (wrongly) just called Tripoli.
211 - maybe Dieppe?
#201- Circuit des Remparts, Angoulême France
#214 Monaco - Monte Carlo?
Sorry Faksta & 75America, both of those are good guesses but neither is right.
209 is the 1926 British GP course at Brooklands.
213 is Livorno (aka Leghorn in English)
Yep it is Brooklands. Robert Benoist's Delage 15S8 on its way to 3rd place in the 1926 English GP (the British GP in all but name) which had artificial chicanes built out of dirt piles on the start/finish straight.
1 point 2u.
201 Circuit des Ramparts Angouleme
207 Douglas, Isle of Man
214 San Remo
220 Turin
Ok D-type.
201 is Angouleme, Dorino Serafini's Ferrari 166F2 rounding one of the uphill hairpins in the 1950 Circuit des Remparts.
The other three are not right however.
One point 2U.
The point belongs to 75 America - he said it first (and got the accent correct)
Is 202 San Sebastian?
If 207 isn't Douglas is it Jersey?
Right ok people have been editing posts while or after I've been replying to them (either that or I've gone really blind). Now I've missed a couple of correct answers. Can I ask people to not edit posts by adding further answers to them (obviously correcting typos etc is fine) in this thread as it gets too easy to miss guesses in a thread as busy as this and then people don't get there deserved points.
Anyway 75America gets a point for Angouleme (GTC201) as his edit came before D-type post. D-type loses that point but gets one for San Sebastien (GTC202) which shows Goffredo Zehenders Bugatti T37A in the 1926 San Sebastien GP.
Allan L is right GTC213 is Livorno (Manfred von Brauchitsch's Mercedes-Benz W154 in the 1938 Coppa Ciano) So he gets 1 point for that.
Finally, D-Type GTC207 is on Jersey but it's the name of the circuit I need.
214 could be Modena in 1936, Farina leading Biondetti
216 could be Johnny Wakefield winning at Naples /Posillipo in 1939
OK Allan L, GTC214 is not Modena I'm afraid. I think you might have misidentified your cars on that one.
Not something you did with your other answer however. GTC216 is indeed Johnnie Wakefields Maserati 4CL winning the 1939 Coppa di Principessa di Piemonte (great name) which took place at Posillipo in Naples. 1 more point 2u.
Can I just say I'm very impressed with how quickly everyones getting through these, if I hadn't set this puzzle I don't think I'd be meeting with the same success.
220 - Autodromo di Modena
Yep. GTC220 is indeed Modena. Juan Manuel Fangio's AC Argentina entered Ferrari 166 in the 1950 Modena GP for F2 cars. Well done 75 America 1 point 2u
#207 the Jersey circuit is St Helier
It is indeed, Raymond Mays racing his ERA in the Jersey GP of 1947, another point 2U.

This one is as great a time-sponge as anyone has posted so far!
Still working on it (when I should be doing something else!)
Could #212 be a Salzburgring?
#211 should be just as simple as Le Mans :)
#212 appears to be a [public] road circuit as it's got a white line.
Bathurst?
Ok Faksta gets a point for GTC211 it is indeed Le Mans in its days before the 24 hours came along. Gedge is seen in the pits in a Coventry-Simplex in the 1920 Coupe des Voiturettes.
GTC212 is neither Salzburgring nor Bathurst. Its not a public road circuit either (I think what looks like a central white line might actually be cement dust)
If not Salzburgring, maybe Misano then?
GTC212 is not Misano either.
:-\
Thruxton?
Third times a charm, GTC212 is indeed Thruxton. Loris Kessel's year old March 742 in the BARC 200 F2 race of 1975.
I knew the year, the driver, the team and the car, but it took some time to identify the track :D
Yeah I think most people are getting them through the car as much as anything else. It would certainly explain why its mostly the newer pictures (where the same race number is carried throughout the season) that are being left until last.
203 is 1937 Valentino Park
218 - maybe Kyalami?
214 - some very Nice city
Ok Faksta another two out of three.
GTC203 is Valentino Park, Giuseppe Farina's Alfa Romeo 12C-36 in the Valentino GP of 1937
GTC214 is Nice, Raymond Sommer's Alfa Romeo 308 in the Nice GP of 1946
but GTC218 is not Kyalami.
Another two points are yours.
215 is Marseilles - Villoresi leading from Sommer
...in the Marseille GP of 1947, yep one point 2U
GTC208 is the 1980 Toleman TG280 F2 car probably with Brian Henton at the wheel (#7 was 'his' number, #8 was Derek Warwick's) and maybe on the old Nürburgring (Nordschleife) circuit
The original pic you've posted is named "bh-mug80" so, I guess "mug" most likely stands for Mugello...(Brian Henton, Mugello 1980)
GTC217, the paddock at Croft, Dave Morgan driving the Chevron .
Allemano: GTC208 is indeed Mugello and your other details are right as well.
Shamrock: You've gotten the driver and car right for GTC217 but not the circuit.
Perhaps 217 is Castle Combe, but it's a long time since I was there, so can't really remember it well enough
Sorry, its not there either.
Is 217 Mallory Park?
Yes it is, well done. Dave Morgan's Chevron B25-Ford in the Radio Luxembourg F2 Trophy of 1973. One point 2U.
That leaves just 2 left...
218 looks South African but we know it isn't Kyalami. Could it be East London?
Sorry, wrong country.
Is #205 the Hungaroring?
No sorry, its not.
GTC205: Autodromo di Pergusa?
Is #218 British? Are these F5000 cars?
Quote from: pnegyesi on January 03, 2010, 04:30:26 AM
GTC205: Autodromo di Pergusa?
Yep it is Enna-Pergusa, Emanuele Naspetti's Reynard F3000 car in 1991. One point to you.

They are F5000 cars but they are not pictured at a British circuit

Yes.
Mallala?
Nor is it Mallala
Mosport?
Manfield?
Not Manfield (or Mosport)
Oh well, maybe Winton?
Ah, nope, it's a Calder Park!!!
Is 218 in Australia?
Long time no answers from 250GTO! Last activity dates from January the 9th! :-\
I'm also awaiting a reply to his puzzle GTO 58 - oh well............!
250gto has been absent for almost a year - time for the Black Hole?
I think #218 could be Philip Island, Australia. If anyone can confirm it then a mod can put this one away.
(2012 Tasman Cup Revival Championship) at Phillip Island Classic. I think it's the same circuit than GTC18
Ok since I've found my way back here after a long, long time away and I'm now back to expert level I'm going to try and sort out my abandoned puzzles. GTC218 is Calder Park shown during the 1980 Australian Grand Prix. Cars include Alfredo Constanzo in car 84 (Lola T430), John Bowe in car 11 (Elfin MR8) and Garrie Cooper in car 12 (Elfin MR9). Going back through the post it looks like faksta got there first and gets the point. Let me know if I've gotten that wrong...
Welcome back :)!
thanks :)
