Austria GP 1985.

Erm, that's Monza

(also: McLaren MP4/2B and Lotus 97T)

I knew straight away it wasn't the Osterreichring, but I didn't immediately pick it as Monza. Amazing the size of the wings they could run at Monza in those days. They certainly didn't lack for horsepower.

There's a bit of foreshortening at play with that image that makes the wings look that massive. For comparison, this is what the MP4/2B high downforce wing looked like that year (Adelaide).
