    the track will be blue and white like Graham Hill's helmet?
    additional hint:
    Graham Hill did race at the venue in the correct year, but he did not win there in that year

    all drivers did race at the venue, including in the specific single year that this track is based on.
    Graham Hill did not win at the venue in the specific year.

    My bet is for Brands Hatch (1968). It alternated with Silverstone at those times and held ROC. The clue that all racers participated in the same year is a bit confusing since it discards F1 event. Mario Andretti started in F1 in 68 and Phil Hill retired in 66 from F1.

    I was unable to post here last night so...

    The corner is a 90 degree turn. So that would be Indianapolis. However, ISI has done that one already, so it has to be an Indy like track. That one was Ontario Motor Speedway in California. Mario Andretti won there, so place his picture at the S/F line. That would make the turn mentioned be turn two.

    I also didn't think my earlier guess of Darlington was all that convoluted. It was rather straight forward. After all, there was a lot of black in your hint picture at the time.

    yes, I think your Ontario explaination has moved ahead of your Darlington guess by a few lengths now, but neither are looking like taking out the prize. I'm not sure if ISI/397 would/could sub-contract a hisoric refit of Indy under their license, or Silverstone for that matter

    @BecauseRaceCar , no it's not Ontario

    Is this clue consistent with the fact that Phil Hill retired in his last winning race at Brand's Hatch 1967 BOAC 500?

    Can Am Riverside 1966 all raced except Ickx...

    The venue must be before July 1967, Foyt must be the key if it is sportscars venue or European venue, he didn't race a lot in them.

    And all drivers can be separated between two different races at this venue (maybe there is a clue to know the seperation on the picture)
    And I'm quite sur there is a clue to know which one won.

    Correct, woochoo?
