    Nope!
    I was up on the hillside, on the wrong side of the fence with all the other peasants.
    A 200mm on a D300s + a crop helps.
    GPS info is in the metadata. The green arrow in the Google maps sat image shot shows my position and the red line, my line of sight into "The Corkscrew."

    The car is a 1982 Estonia-MADI 03 driven by Edgard Lindgren, who used to drive it in Formula Easter competitions in eighties. The man is 75 and is still racing. The car was found in Rigas Motormuzejs' barns recently and was not intended to participate in the event. Lindgren had to race more recent Estonia 25, but when the 25's engine refused to work, they've decided to try the Estonia-MADI. After a couple of hours the car which engine was supposedly not started since 1988 was on track.
