[WIP] Le Grand Circuit 1967 (in association with VLM)

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.
 
Well and just because i was at it :)


I even think i saw our @Tuttle in it

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 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?

Just a round up to keep my head above all the hints and info..
Denny Hulme
Graham Hill
Mario Andretti
Bruce McLarem
Phil Hill
John Surtees
Chris Amon
Dan Gurney
A.J. Foyt
Jacky Ickx

Not Le Mans
Not COTA
Not a four corner oval
Not Ontario
Not Darlington

Might be Watkins Glen
Might be Mont Tremblant (Hill never won there)
Might be Riverside 1966 (Hill never won there)


additional hint:
- one driver is "the odd one out", but in some ways there is no odd one out
- every driver drove at the venue in one particular year
- blank space in puzzle: you might wonder why that area is empty, and indirectly you might find a loose thread to the puzzle.
- you might see who is the odd one out, or who is the key, or who wasn't a winner, or who took the victory
- perhaps some attention can go to the drivers that aren't pointing? Hulme, Andretti, Amon, Surtees and Gurney
- the track will be blue and white like Graham Hill's helmet?
- 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.
