I know this is Spa, but that is about it. Maybe 1966?

Spa, 65/66 (leaning towards 65 since I think Graham and Jackie qualified 1-2 and that's them in front in the BRM P261),Belgium GP.

Fifth car back, the red one, is a Ferrari, right? Weren't they the only Italian manufacturer in F1 by the time the switch had been made to rear-engined cars? That car appears to be wearing the number 1. So if it's a Ferrari wearing the number 1 it has to be Hill's car in '62 or Surtees' car from '65 and it looks more like Surtees' 158 than Hill's 156, so it would have to be 1965.

Someone has issues if they can't identify that spot!

Oh back when we would stand in places like this. I never did stand in a place like that though, I liked spots where physics would make it nearly impossible for a car to come barreling over. I didn't go to Spa that year, I was 34 at the time and probably working on the J35F Saab.

Very proud of Oppo to see that pretty much everyone's already identified this as Spa, '65.
