grainy is what makes it such a cool pic

Agree. Its almost like you can feel the rain pelting you in the face.

Agree with above...I'd love that as a poster. Looks like you took picture from a screen...mind sharing where it came from. I love it!

The faithful have spoken! -- I snagged this from Facebook although cannot remember the actual person who posted it.

My best guess is an early racing BMW book or Alpina book -- such a classic look.....

The track is Spa-Francorchamps, at La Source, which began the downhill run to Eau Rouge.

Thanks for posting, I saved the picture to use in on the ipad as the lock screen photo…

La Source was a popular spot for photographers at Spa-Francorchamps.

The Yardley BRM of Pedro Rodriguez leads Chris Amon's March at the 1970 Belgian Grand Prix...

Taken from inside the same corner, the Quester/Hezemans CSL winning the ETCC Spa 24 Hours in 1973...

Love that track. Need to get to the F1 race one day.

While the various image artifacts are kinda cool and interesting, they do detract from the car and the race a bit. I made some adjustments.

Improvement

The same photo, on motorsport.com.
But they identify the track as the Nürburgring, which it clearly is not.

Same car, from inside the same corner...

My guess is that the corner table at the Supra is hard to come by...Thanks for the pictures also, Jon.
