1994.... something to do with tires on banking.
We made the 24 Hours of Lemons list for 2019. I'm still trying to decide if that is a good thing or not.

no cheating but there's a Benetton in the picture!
Alesi most likely. Coulthard obviously.
No idea where or when. I miss the old '27' or did at the time.
below. Alesi 200th GP in the U.S. apparently.
One of my wife's friends stopped by last night. She loves her new Ranger, license plate T4RDIS. Parked next to my '13 F150 the size difference was small, but definitely there. Of course the '13 bodystyle seems a little smaller than the current F150 to me even though the published dimensions dont really show it.

Nice plate.

Nice deduction.
It's the 1994 Spanish Grand Prix. The relevance is it was the first road course after the horrible weekend at Imola where we lost Ratzenberger and Senna as well as Rubens Barrichello breaking his wrist, nose and getting a concussion. The newly re-formed GPDA (Grand PRix Driver Association) insisted on adding the temporary chicane before the Nissan corner to improve safety, hence the tire walls in the picture. It should also be remembered that after two deaths and a serious injury at Imola Andrea Monermini was drafted in to replace the late Ratzenberger by Simtek and in his debut suffered season ending injuries in practice. It's amazing looking back. Having been living and breathing F1 since around 1980, at that time it 'fel' like a safe sport.
And you are right, from the helmets that's Alesi, Schumacher and Hill. It's amazing I can identify drivers from 25+ years ago by their helmets. Today the helmet designs are too complicated, while you can tell a driver if you get an 'in car' (really roll hope mounted camera) shot, you can't really tell from the distance shots. Let's go back to some classic simple helmet designs please guys.
Pic of the late great RR. Many forget him, but I watched him come up through the junior formula as well as watching him in BTCC. He was one of my hero's.

In a similar vein. I'd live here and drive either of these pics
