Solved: Guess the circuit 2

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

Allan L · July 29, 2009, 04:50:36 AM

216 could be Johnny Wakefield winning at Naples /Posillipo in 1939

250gto · July 29, 2009, 05:35:09 AM

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.

75america · July 29, 2009, 01:47:40 PM

220 - Autodromo di Modena

250gto · July 29, 2009, 02:27:44 PM

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

250gto · July 29, 2009, 02:55:49 PM

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?

faksta · July 30, 2009, 04:37:17 AM

#211 should be just as simple as Le Mans

D-type · July 30, 2009, 08:20:14 AM

#212 appears to be a [public] road circuit as it's got a white line.

Bathurst?

250gto · July 30, 2009, 12:39:15 PM

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)

faksta · July 30, 2009, 01:37:45 PM

If not Salzburgring, maybe Misano then?

250gto · July 30, 2009, 02:12:36 PM

GTC212 is not Misano either.

faksta · July 30, 2009, 02:17:54 PM

$:-\$

Thruxton?

250gto · July 30, 2009, 03:02:46 PM

Third times a charm, GTC212 is indeed Thruxton. Loris Kessel's year old March 742 in the BARC 200 F2 race of 1975.

faksta · July 30, 2009, 03:04:01 PM

I knew the year, the driver, the team and the car, but it took some time to identify the track

250gto · July 30, 2009, 03:08:58 PM

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.

faksta · July 30, 2009, 04:02:56 PM

203 is 1937 Valentino Park

faksta · July 30, 2009, 04:06:21 PM

218 - maybe Kyalami?

faksta · July 30, 2009, 04:15:50 PM

214 - some very Nice city

250gto · July 30, 2009, 06:05:58 PM

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.
