Eric Mc said:
Guess the year -

World Driver's Champion




World Constructor's Champion



It was one of those years where the two championships were NOT won by the same team.
Well there was no challenge on the year Eric, but I am struggling on the locations. I had the 2nd one down as Rouen, but from the link I see it was the option I had smile

The top one, I am struggling with, but I refuse to cheat and use the interweb! I presume you know or was it a gallery shot you picked at random? Aintree?
