Can't be the Nurburgring. Too wide and I don't believe there is a stone wall except for a bridge or two.

Maybe Isle of Man before it gets to the country side? Then again. From the footage I've seen. I don't recall a wide area like that in town that has a nice grassy area.

Looks like the Isle Of Mann..
I have ridden motorcycles there but don't usually have this view.

Isle of Man was my 1st guess too. But I've certain it's in the US.

Thanks for the responses.

If it is a track I would say Nurburgring also.

Correct, been there..and was there on that day too...Awesome place! I go every year..and every year it seems to rain. The Mini was the featured car there 2 years ago.

note... it's not a year round track or anything like that, so don't get your hopes up of racing on it. It only comes around once a year... although the park is open all the time for the public and you can drive around the place - just not at speed. http://www.pittsburghvintagegrandpri...te/default.asp
