Default Guess the track and turn

Inspired by the "Photos of you track car" thread, post a picture of your car at a track so the others can guess the track and turn. Since I have not figured out how to post a decent sized picture I will post an easy one first.

I think the give away is the sign in the background that says "Road Atlanta"

That did give me a clue, though I instantly recognized it from rFactor anyway.

OK, so we wanna make this tricky, right??

Pretty well-known turn, from an unusual angle...


About the same here, I think - unusual cropping of the photo...

I don't think Gary will have a guess since there isn't any sign in the pictures
