    They all had a run at Riverside, a track from history and sorely missed. They grow lettuce in California...

    That's a nice effort, but the circuit layout is not visually (or invisibly) represented in the puzzle picture at all

    i would have thought an LM 1970-72 version would go better with the apex cars, would it not?

    post 2 updated with the final half-hint
    Last chance for obscure/overboard/occult/outofthisworld theories.
    Look at the images and divine a meaning, and associate it with a circuit.
    Or pick the circuit you think it could be and then work backwards and try and wrangle the clues to fit.

    If multiple people guess correctly, the winner should be whoever creates the most (and most elaborate) links between the puzzle image and the circuit. If you just post a circuit name you're not going to win anything, and you might be cheating... (there is no prize anyway, but come on ;) )

    Well got it now.

    All shown drivers do something with their hands like: "Pay close attention" or they laugh at us like they are saying: "S*cker, you are looking at the wrong things". Last hint in fact there is a guy behind the tree who laughs his pants off because you've got us all sweating trying to solve the problem.
    Well if you look closely to the picture at second post you see a frame..and that frame itself is giving it all away.
    you still can see turn 4 :rolleyes: or was it 2 :confused:

    So i'm sure it has to be an oval :D

    Now i'm Dutch and not at all into ovals so i don't know those tracks let alone the names, so i gladly give away my earned price to the one who knows the track name.
    just put me in the credits when you thank Woochoo :p

    you might be a top contender for a printable certificate pdf :)
    If an oval expert can identify the corner and the circuit I could award you both a pdf certificate (if you win)

    I think you're really just trying to get us to drink more ovaltine with all this oval talk. Probably goes well with lettuce.

    right, well, lettuce take a look at the ovalall picture here...
    there is only one hint left.
    one left.
    again, after a pause, one left .
    and to complete the ovalall picture, we're left with the final clue.
    if i were to drink some ovaltine after winning a race, i'd need something to put the ovaltine in.
    now, you might consider this a clue... and by looking at the hints there might be some theory you can generate.
    If this is a clue though, it might be entirely misleading and not at all related to the project which is the subject of this puzzle, but that doesn't mean you couldn't take out the overall absurd theory contest

    Hmm. I'll give it a go. They all participated in the Indianapolis 500, and you said it was an oval. So, you are doing the old Indy 500 track, with no curbs, etc. :)

    that's the last of the puzzle hints

    @vivemclaren , I'm not converting/remaking the VLM historic Le Mans ('72-'77 or '78-'79, or '91-'96)

    additional hint:
    one driver is "the odd one out", but in some ways there is no odd one out
