For one point, what is the year, the place, the car and the driver?

The lovely weather suggests Italy, but that is not the country.

Neither is it France, although a Frenchman would feel at home with the names of people and towns.

I know this ain't called geographypuzzles.com  ;) but I will keep on trying to find the location as I have no clue what the car in the forefront might be.

So, when you say that it is not in France, do you mean 'mainland France'? So could it be Corsica?

Not Corsica. Somewhere which historically had French families and place names.

Not Belgium either. I didn't say they spoke French there, just that there are many French family names and place-names.

Yes! LOCKED for you. Try to find out the actual place name, and the driver of the car. The registration of the car will help you.

Yes. Well done. It's the collection area and start at Bouley Bay hillclimb. I admit that I have no proof that the driver is Rodney Clarke, but that was his car, and I have no reason to believe it is anybody else behind the wheel.

I hadn't found that previous puzzle when doing my "search" - the car in the background is an L2, same as my puzzle.
