Competition Help!!!

[Twisted Metal]

Hi all,

A forum I am on is conducting a competition where I have to find names of cars and tracks from their pics. I was able to identify some of them but not all. Can you guys help me identify these?

Some of these pics are from a simulation game, Gran Turismo but they shouldn't be any different from the real thing. Any help is greatly appreciated. :)

Car 3 is a Citroën C4 WRC and i would guess that car 1 is a Toyota of some sort, maybe a supra. Car 4 Aston Martin i believe not sure what model.

[MrMetro]

track 2 is the Hungaroring, track 4 is indeed Monza

[GridGirl]

How could you not get the Citroen when Loeb's names written on the side?!?!?!? :s

Monza 2004, I have happy memories of being sat at that corner. That said, if I went again I would pay extra and sit at the first chicane. :)

Track 2 looks like Suzuka.

No clues for track 1.
Önly the castle of course.
Now how do you say Önly castle in German, and are there any near a ring? :confused:

i don't know, but what about Britain then? plenty of tracks and castles sure there would be a few tracks that have a castle nearby?

I'll hazard a guess that Track 3 is the Dunlop Chicane at the "Circuit de la Sarthe - Le Mans"

Car 4 is an Alfa 8C

Tell me why again people are helping someone with two posts to answer questions which anyone who has an interest in motorsport will be able to answer. All bar track 2 are noobishly easy to get.

Track 1 looks like the Nurburgring
Car 2 is a TVR Tamora

perhaps not everyone are motorsport experts like yourself?

Don't think it's Britain (despite all the caravans): there's a bit of sun and the cars are all left-hand drive ;) :p

"Önly" -> "Nür" in German

Well its an interesting thread and abit of fun and maybe if we are not hostile the poster might post again in future and may end up being a regular. :)

Bravo.

Everyone has to start somewhere - we are not all born with motorsport knowledge, it has to be gained, and where better to gain it that MSF!?

Nurburgring
Suzuka
Circuit de la Sarthe
Monza

1996 Castrol Supra GT

Bah. £5 says once he's got his answers he'll never be back again.

[MrJan]

Nurburgring
Suzuka
Circuit de la Sarthe
Monza

1996 Castrol Supra GT
TVR Tamora
2008 Citroen C4 WRC
Alfa Romeo 8C Competizione

Is the right answer.

Judging by how many of those shots are from GT games (the Nurburgring shot, possibly the Le Mans one, maybe the Supra (although could be a model), definitely the Tamora and C4 and possibly the 8C) I'd hazard a guess that matey is entering something to do with that.

Good shout by people for Suzuka, my initial impression was the hairpin on the Nurburgring F1 circuit but then I realised that the chicane was too tight.

No I don't. I'm not an avid follower of motorsports, which is why I'm here asking for help from the experts.

From your replies I take it that the correct answers are,

Track 1: Nurburgring
Track 2: Suzuka
Track 3: Circuit de la Sarthe
Track 4: Monza

Car 1: 1996 Castrol Supra GT
Car 2: TVR Tamora
Car 3: 2008 Citroen C4 WRC
Car4: Alfa Romeo 8C Competizione

Thank you all for taking the time to answer my post. Your help is greatly appreciated. :)
