Hi guys.
I'm getting pumped for my trip to Melbourne for the Grand Prix and thought I'd share some images from my trip there last September.
Here's the challenge... without looking up other resources, can you spot where on the circuit I took these photos from.
Good luck!

Turn 8
Looking back at turn 8
One of those has to be turn 8.

Being a Melbournian, and a regular atendee to the race, Ill opt out as know em all, they do look different though! May I point out that you have 2 pics twice!
Miserable Thierry (Boutsen) staggers round mostly on ten cylinders (out of 12) with no clutch, low oil pressure, bad brakes and no grip to finish tenth, 3 laps down... (Murray Walkers review of Boutsen's Brazil 1991 race). Thats a point these days!

Nope!

Sure does!
Hmm, not much interest in my challenge. Guess I'll reveal the answers soon. Nobody has guessed them all yet.

I think the first picture might be Turn 6. No idea about the rest!

I've formulated guesses for the other pictures:
Turn 3
Kink between 12 and 13

In photo order of first post: 1. Definitely the kink between Turn 12 and 13 - recognise that building on the right 2. Pretty sure looking back to exit of Turn 8 standing on approach to Turn 9 3. Looking back at Turn 6 I believe based on that road profile 4. Tough one, but is it just before Turn 8? Looking back to Photo 3?

I agree with 1, 2 and 3. But I'm stumped by 4 as well ...

I believe number 4 is the end of turn 10 from the outside of turn 11

Yes, well done, I think that might be right.
