Looks to me like (can't remember the name...) the first sharp left hander after the S/F. Left/right chacain type or turn, then a left after that. Then there's a strait and a right hank kink. Then there's the left that I'm thinking of. There is a tree there and a sign about the same place in GPL. and the elevation changes look right. Plus looking at the background I may be right. Still could be the Masta kink though. Any case, I imagine photographers were right up to the edge of the track in that time frame(?) Art McEwen wrote in message <98bddb$6f1$[email hidden]>...

Any of you chaps that bothered to read the text at the bottom of the picture?? It reads: "Clark's Lotus 49 flies through the *Masta kink* at Spa in 1967" ......[snipped] Can there be any doubt now?? ed_ > You could be right, I think if it was after Masta there'd be a bank in the > background.

If you'd bothered to read our posts, you'd see we were expressing doubt with the caption. ;) "Ed Solheim" <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:lYbq6.12139$[email hidden]...

Text like that could easily be misprinted, or flat out wrong. The guy who put the text there may have thought that that is where it was taken. Or the photographer may have gave him the photo thinking it was another one he took at mast. Or it just could be masta ;-)

This picture is taken from a book by photographer Michael Cooper. The book, "Sixties Motor Racing" is limited to just 1500 copies I think, and it costs �250 :) I'm not entirely sure it's Masta either... but it's a bloody fantastic photo! This link doesn't help, but interesting anyway. http://www.racer.demon.nl/6thgear/masta-kink.jpg Rob Swindells wrote:

Didn't ANYBODY notice that the photo is "mirrored" left-right ? look at the number, it's a 15, and it looks like a SI ... It IS masta all right, except the photo is just in the wrong direction. "Art McEwen" <[email hidden]> a �crit dans le message news: 98bddb$6f1$[email hidden]...

hmm... That does work, good eye. However, I see 21 to further confuse the issue ;-)

If you look carefully, it looks like the ENTRY to Masta, the car has just turned in after the tree and is about to hit the 1st apex, and the photographer is standing inside the barrier, on the 2nd apex. I think.... Lol SpeedFreek.. (Stood there last year.. looks a bit different now!)

I agree with SpeedFreek. SpeedFreek wrote:

Certainly looks familiar. I can feel myself sliding round it at 150MPH anyway. Chris Rob Swindells <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:[email hidden]...

I just flipped it round in Photoshop. It's much more like 15 if you mirror the picture. If that's right then it isn't masta. Come to think of it, I can't think which corner it is at all now! Kev MK wrote:
