Need help with some pictures

Post by Orso »

I was sorting some Lotus 79 pictures found but run into some difficulties with a few.
Can someone help me ID these:

1.
1978-Maybe-betwee-France-and-GB.jpg
It has the Valvoline logo with the text MotorOil and small flag as in Sweden and France. But the Koni logo on the rear wing was first seen in Britain and then the MotorOil text was gone. What have I got wrong?


2.
Mario between Spain and Sweden.jpg
It has three victory laurels on the wing like in Spain but small flag on the side as at the next race in Sweden. Could it be some testing between those two races?


3.

This was marked as Swedish GP (I think) but it has to be US or Canada. Can anyone tell for sure?

This was marked as USeast but the small Valvoline logo was replaced with the large one by then. So the combination of those mirrors, small Valvoline and tobacco ad makes it Sweden, France or Austria.
