Help!

I am having a thorough clean out for the New Year and I came across these two photograph taken in about 1999. This is NOT a quiz but can anyone help with where they were taken - I have not got a clue!

I hope you have normal clothing over the top Iain
If your standing in one place,try laying thick cardboard on the floor where your standing,its very good insulation.

With a Stella banner in the background it certainly suggests a non-British track.

The 2 piles of tyres (if that is what they are) marking the apex are, er, an interesting idea I don't recall seeing used very often. Would they help to jog memories and narrow the options?

Come on guys, with Stella (beer) advertising it can only be (and it is) Spa Les Combes corner as Terry says.
You've all been driving round the place often enough.

Hey dont misquote me Mr Zef, where did I say they were good at making everything wet and rusty!!! Never noticed it in my garage but I did build it in a traditional way with 8inch blocks and a proper sloping tiled roof as I may want to convert it into a bungalow now I have heard the twits at the bottom of the garden who thought they had a ransome strip of land across the back of me in a council adobted road have been defeated in court. Could be worth several hundred grand to me that, won't have a big garage but with that money I am sure I can soon get one somewhere. ;-).

At least I thought you guys somehow managed to keep the names of beer and wine in mind.
Even if they are behind the armco.
