On Facebook someone claims at the bottom right it's Mexico circuit.
I spot 4 hidden circuits on the pic?

The fourth circuit is the isle of man clypse course from the late 1950's. John Surtees won there. But Silverstone and Mexico were not used for motorcycles back then. So I would assume the circuits represent the most important races in John Surtees career.
A guess from me:
Ferrari 158 from 1964 in red and NART colours.
With the red car he finished third in Silverstone and won at the Nürburgring, and with the NART car he won the title in Mexico.

You guys see anything in that red pic? To me it is just a different colour version of the original green one, so if you see 4 tracks there, kudos. I see nothing :S

Damn, just checked it on my main screen, there are faint grey lines in it.
Top left:? I just know that I know that circuit. Initial thought was the old config Spa but it isn't. I think it is something I've seen and driven in GPL
Top right: Silverstone,
Bottom left: Nurburgring
Bottom right: Mexico

I might have to fire up GPL later today as the track database and the BAPOM track cover pages are still down since the demise of SRMZ and GPLR, only the editing bit has survived in a small private forum, I think.

/Edit, balls. Steffen beat me to it. My reply kept timing out. So it was indeed something I've seen and driven in GPL, 'oorah! :)
Cheers,
Roman

And the village on the pic fits a satelite picture of Tatsfield, Surrey where Surtees was born.

If it is the NART Ferrari 158 of Surtees I’m getting it. Good choice by MFH if it’s true
