I'm guessing BRAZIL!

faksta · « **Reply #12 on:** January 20, 2011, 12:34:00 PM »

Argh...I have several answers ready, but the problem is tying this all with pictures of places!

faksta · « **Reply #13 on:** January 20, 2011, 01:32:45 PM »

Let's pretend Place #7 is Circuito de Gavea. Then we'll have Car #3 related to it - a 5.3-liter Stutz special and Driver #10 (?), who may be Jose Villafranca. The year should be 1938 in this case.

Another set related to Circuito de Gavea will be Irineu Correa (driver #9) and his Ford V8 Special (car #2), who has won there in 1934.

You're right with the car and the place! In this case the driver appears with the machine,so it's not driver #10,and it's José Villafranca indeed! Nice Faksta,3 points for you!

More pictures...Circuito da Gávea 1938 :

I would connect Pilot #11 with Car #14, and their combo to Place #5. The event is III Circuito do Maracanã, on April 3, 1954, where well-known Brazilian architect Sérgio Bernardes finished 2nd overall and won his category at the wheel of his newly acquired Ferrari 225S Spyder Vignale.
An excellent puzzle indeed...

Is place #1 Autodromo Virgilio Tavora? It then should be related to car #12 - Torke-Maserati and driver #6 - Chico Landi.
Probably you meant to include another car here as well - #6 Maserati 300S chassis #3062, which, as far as I remember, has later become the Torke.

faksta · « **Reply #19 on:** January 21, 2011, 12:15:40 PM »

And in case place #6 is indeed somewhere around Interlagos, let's tie it to car #5 - Ferrari 250TR #0606MM and driver #5 - Aguinaldo de Gois Filho (should be 1961 Interlagos 500km).

faksta · « **Reply #20 on:** January 21, 2011, 01:53:22 PM »

Place #3 - Boa Vista? Then it should be connected with drivers on photo #3 (Alvaro and Aylton Varanda) and cars #7 (Ferrari 500 Mondial) and #8 (Ferrari 225S Spider Vignale as well?).

No points here $:-\$

Place number #1 : wrong,it isn't the Autodromo Virgilio Tavora...but a famous F1 circuit
Car number #12 : Yes,it's the Torke-Maserati driven by Chico Landi,racer number #6.I can't see this option here for car and pilot so no points too.
It wasn't chassis #3062 that has later become the Torke but...... _____________

Another picture of Torke :

Again,the same thing...wrong place ( far from that ) right car and right driver ,and no points $:-\$
It's indeed the 1961 500km of Interlagos,but try to match with another place

Wrong place,there is no place for this Ferrari 500 Mondial picture.It's a connection photo.Find another point that connects this picture to another thing.(To another car or pilot).

Pilot and Car :

Ehhxekt · « **Reply #24 on:** January 22, 2011, 03:44:45 AM »

The photo of Car #13, an Alfa Romeo JK with Mário Olivetti (Pilot #7) standing beside it, was taken at the Circuito de Petrópolis in 1961; I’d connect them to Place #4, Belvedere of Petrópolis.
Place #4 seems to be a link in another thread as well: on 24 September, 1933, Roberto Marinho (Pilot #2) set a speed record in his Voisin C20 Coupé (Car #1) at the Rio–Petrópolis road race.
The inaugural race at Place #2, Circuito da Praia de Botafogo, was held on 17 June, 1956. Overall winner was Car #9, a Ferrari 225S driven by Arthuro de Souza Costa. Could he be Pilot #4?
