That is definitely Ayrton. To me, it looks like the MP4/6 of 1991.

Not sure about the track. Someone else will have to chime in on that.

Can I have one please? :hehe:
You could try google images for Senna pics and see if that one shows up. If it does it should say where and when.

The track is a tough one, but those kerbs are fairly distinctive, if you can figure those out then you should be able to make a good guess.

My guess is San Marino, but then the race was wet in '91... so maybe from a practice session. Or another track! :hehe:

Given the numero uno on the car it would have to be either 89, or 91-92.

the best thing to do would be ask the guy who put it on his deviantart page.

maybe he took it from somewhere else, but he may have an idea what track it is.

Could also be the first two races of 1992 (South Africa and Mexico).

I googled images of all those races (completely dead here at work), and didn't see any curbs like that.

Adelaide had blue and white curbing and most of the track was street only the infield was permanent. So definitely rule that one out. :D

I think Spain.

It's not the British race as it still has it's tobacco advertising on it.

any other countries with that law would also be eliminated.

:yes:

I think when participating in Grands Prix within countries that endorsed a ban on tobacco advertisements, the team replaced Marlboro with the McLaren logo instead.
