Search for Montjuic circuit, gives all you need to know.
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Montju%C3%AFc_circuit

And use google maps to find the streets as they are now, the shape of the circuit is easy to find.

Montjuic is perhaps the best track in Spain, too bad it was a deathtrap, generated some of the best pics in F1 from back in the day

Ahhh, yeah, I know this one!!! It's the most badass track ever, specially with those cars. For me the real F1 Talladega.

It's a pretty awesome track.





Graham Hill's wing failed right after the bump in T1 in 1969, and so did Rindt's moments later:

Lewis is turning 40 today. Is it a 2006 pic old already?

Usually I've considered any event with current F1 driver in modern and one without old. Although by that criteria picture from Grand Prix in 2002 is old and 2001 modern.

For me anything 2 regulations pack behind is old already. If it's more than some years old. Like the first turbo hybrid era. But the 2017 cars won't be classic in 2026 regulations.

Despite the huge airbox, I loved that car. Pace was good enough to win a few more races, but it wasn't to be.

One of the best looking cars in F1 history imo.

Here's an Illustration I did of it a while back

I heard that he was going to be the guy in the winning race car next year instead of James Hunt (or was it Lauda?).

What could've been. If he never died in that airplane crash, it would set of a huge butterfly effect, how different F1 would be....

These Carlos Pace photos were a good rabbit hole; I just spent a good while reading about him, Arturo Merzario, Jean-Pierre Beltoise and Ignazio Giunti. What a crazy era of motorsports the 70's was!

I don't know when all the setup was made but eventually Lauda took the Pace's spot for the next year. Hans-Joachim Stuck drove the car for the remainder of 1977.
