I swear to god any classic rally car you could possibly do an image search on you’ll eventually come across a picture of it taking this hairpin. Case in point:

I assume it’s Col de Turini.

Rally photographers know where they’re going to get the good shots. This one seems to be exceptional because of the background.

There’s another “the spot” for classics - some kind of gently lit promenade under trees somewhere - where I’ve seen probably well over a dozen 30s/40s luxury cars and rarities professionally photographed. This one:

Same kind of thing going on, almost the same angle in each shot.

It’s some vineyard in Germany

Probably because of that absolutely gorgeous background.

That Mercedes needs some more sideways. And the Lancia needs some more sidewalls. Geez!

I will just leave it here. This is a regular road, though. From Ubatuba to Taubaté, Brasil. An interesting place to drive. Now picture a drifting event on this place...

There is a single bus company that uses this road. The previous and the next picture explain why nobody else has the guts to bring a bus here. The bus has to actually maneuver twice to make these turns. You should back up and wait until he is no longer invading the opposite lane.

The warning says “Check your brakes”. You wonder why.

I’m happy to have a similar one near me between Mill Valley and Stinson Beach (CA).

Looks like Germany? It’s a great photo spot. Cars are going slow, and it looks tricky. I wouldn’t be surprised if it was off camber too

I think that was Rohrl's car before he moved to Audi.
