[Eddy]

Looks like the face of hitman. totaly flabbergasted here

 

[woochoo]

Not a comic character, or movie character.
The person is a character in video games/simulations, but not Hitman

 

[Mauro]

Denny Hulme?

 

[Coutie]

I'd like to solve the puzzle.

@Mauro , post 2 updated

@Coutie , ha, this guy.
I'll allow you to play along with the incremental stages of the black box sub-game, if you think you've got what it takes. But no full solves from yourself, please.

 

[Eddy]

Wow @Mauro well done.

Come on Coutie, Woochoo isn't being a great help these days

 

[woochoo]

updated puzzle

 

[davehenrie]

Obviously, he's showing racers who thought they could act!

 

[Shamrock]

Lotus 49 (guessing a clue, not the track.)

 

[woochoo]

Lotus 49 (guessing a clue, not the track.)

a bold move, predicting a future clue...
I think I'll reveal the next half-hint a little later today, but after that I might let it sit for a few days. Or maybe not. Who knows

 

[Mauro]

It seems Grand prix legends main menu

So... A gpl (1967) track

 

[machine]

Black and white photo's eh! I aint seen one of them since, well, colour came in.
That rules out Circuit of the Americas. There aren't any b&w photos of that.

 

[woochoo]

post 2 updated with third half-hint

 

[Mauro]

Mario Andretti

 

[woochoo]

Correct
post 2 updated to reveal Mario Andretti

 

[vivemclaren]

Andretti won 6 hours of Watkins Glen in 1972, Hulme won CanAm race at Watkins Glen in 1970 and Hill won F1 GP at Watkins Glen from 63 to 65.

I'm not aware about this association indeed
