Google seems to suggest Lime Rock Conneticut Jon
I searched for the event by name and date and found this. Couple of the pics confirm the track name, google confirms a church nearby and of course the link also shows another pic of the db4gt

Hello Ben,
Just looking at this month’s AMOC’s Monthly bulletin on my desk and saw the very car that inspired you for your V12 Vantage’s spec on the cover!
Oh wow, what an amazing coincidence of timing! Yes, that's the exact car ours is paying homage to! We'll have to get a copy of the magazine now! The Aston Martin Gods must have made sure we got our car this month to make the connection to that amazing DB4 GT even more meaningful! Is it asking the car Gods too much for an Aston win this weekend in Jeddah too? ;-)Just looking at this month’s AMOC’s Monthly bulletin on my desk and saw the very car that inspired you for your V12 Vantage’s spec on the cover!

FAB doesn’t stand for anything! It was just a cool-sounding callsign invented by Thunderbirds creator Gerry Anderson to mean ‘affirmative’, but it’s not an acronym.
Although the word 'fab' was in usage before Gerry & Sylvia Anderson made Thunderbirds. Most obviously as The Beatles nickname, 'The Fab Four' in 1963. No doubt that's how Anderson got the idea. Saw this at Cheltenham today
First one I have actually seen, stunning car in the flesh, and never noticed how good the rear looks with the central exhaust.
Metal flake in the paint was very nice

Your spec looks better and better every time I see it, A bit of fill-flash really makes the paint pop, looks great!
Thanks, very kind of you to say. We spent weeks agonising over the colour choices, and even made some last minute changes that paid off. Tricky getting the balance right on this particular car between being too subdued in tone/colours, which might work for a grand tourer but I think doesn't work as well with something like this car, and going too 'shouty' at the other end and over doing the color scheme relative to the lines of the car. Our dealership was great in helping to pick the right tones of each colour we wanted. The Q options, whilst expensive, were worth it in the end. Anyway, yes, I find myself standing and staring way too much, too often whenever it's parked!
