Looks like a street circuit - perhaps Monaco?

Good photograps.

 

Are those pics real? They look animated.

definitely some very nicely modeled animations. It does look like Monaco, the very last section before the hairpin that leads to the straight.

 

i was going to say monaco as well.

and the pics do look a little animated, but at the same time judging by the coloration of the tires, and the fact that the car IS on rain tires, it's somewhat convincing that someone snapped some DAMN GOOD pics.

 

Definitely CG...but DAMN good CG. Those curbs don't look like monaco to me...but then again I've never been there

 

Ditto on Monaco. They use those very high stacked, ribbed guard rails on a narrow track like that. Don't recall the corner name but the second pic I'd bet is the hairpin before the pit entrance as the guardrails look right for there. Can't think of another narrow, guardrailed street course during Senna's McLaren time.

The car is oddly dry and reflecting light well to have that much spray going about. My bet is a doctored photo.

 

I heard thats Monaco, in the next version of Gran Turismo 5.6.12

I say its animation, and I cant say the track...sorry

 

there is no doubt that is CG.

 

Here's the evidence.

Are you talking about the swimming pool, or after that?

If that's Gran Turismo material right there, I am amazed. Wow, what awesome detail!

 

I'm trying to remember when Senna was running a car number THAT high.

 

how bout this track??

1993 McLaren Ford
RIP senna

 

Ummm...that'd be the the SCCA Drifting Championships held in Wichita KS...baby!

 

Oh man, can I use that mail truck image for my company's new website? Who holds the rights?!?

So now is there a new meaning to "going postal"?

I knew the US Postal Service is a Tour de France sponsor but maybe this is a new marketing attack on UPS since Dale Jarrett still refuses to race the big brown truck.

 

Those have to be CG. Senna would never have run rain tires on a bone dry track! (Pic 2) Also it may be Spa, there are several tracks that use armco that looks like that. Also La Rasscase is the hairpin before pit entrance in Monaco and it has armco to the inside of the coner as well, no curb. Only place I can think of that has curbing outside the armco in Monaco is Lowes hairpin (before the tunnel) and the chicane after the tunnel and both are painted red/white. What ever it is it looks great, and if it's a PS2 or PC game I WANT ONE!

 

You guys are sharp. Yes, they are rendered visuals. A friend showed them to me and I figure I'd share them with you. Supposedly, it's from some F1 game mod. Not sure though...

 

Both pictures are "fashioned" after monaco; they could both be renditions of the both the casino complex , and the swingpool complex. They're not rascasse as that corner has no curbing, just armco -- at least that's how it was when I was there in 03 watching the GP.

 

Didn't you guys catch this?


This is the corner! It's Monaco for sure, I'd say it's the right-hander before the tunnel. Hard to tell. There aren't many turns where spectators could stand like that.

If you look closely, the lighting on the car is the same in both pictures, in the dark rainy one and the dry one. Definitely CG.
