Thanks to Hugh Gabriel (hugh_) for gracing our desktops this week with this lovely shot of an N24 in the race that gave it its name, the Nürburgring 24 Hours. We love the colouration and the 'sun beams' around the headlights.

Hats-off to the first person who can name the graffiti-covered corner this Aston is navigating...

Looks like a computer game

[cvegas]

Looks almost as if it is camouflaged to blend into its natural environment.

Isn't this just a promo shot for the new Gran Tourismo 5 (IIRC) game on the PS3, hence the advertising on the car?

wait, just checked... playstation did sponsor the vantage for the 24hour race

real then

Ex Mulhe?

[Garlick]

It does look a little like a PS3 game

I don't think it is from Gran Turismo - there are bits of rubber all over the track and track side. GT5 is good but not quite that good!

That'll be the final section of Eschbach then ... but the gradient looks too steep, think its more likely to be Schwalbenschwanz

I'm guessing it's this bit!

I thought halfway through brunnchen, but there wasnt a rumble strip.

I don't, but I assume Hugh_ does, why not drop him an email

[nsm3]

Pflantzgarten it is then?

[RichB]

I must be odd... I just thought it was a great picture...

[topless_mx5]

Anyone else notice the tyre marks coming down the hill, and also going into the kerb on the left side of the picture? Someone has clearly lost it just after the jump.

Ah, I am honoured to have graced the dizzy heights of the PH homepage! There is indeed a colour version
