Actually, a fairly well-known photo was taken at that track, well before any autofocus cameras were invented. This was at the old Nurburgring, which was 14 miles long and had something like 170 turns - the new 'Ring is quite sad compared to the old one. Anyway, the photo is of Jim Clark cresting one of the many rises in the track, his Lotus 25 suspended in mid-air. - -Dave, photo and F1 enthusiast
