    Identify

    Pic 1 got its name because of Pic 2. 






    Identify both.


    Ans. Interlagos, Sao Paulo home of the Brazilian GP
    The name is derived from the words inter-lagos or "between lakes" The circuit is built between two artificial lakes Guarapiranga and Billings. Pic 2 shows Interlakken which also derived its name because of the same fact and inspired the name for the race track.

    Autódromo José Carlos Pace, also known by its former name Interlagos, is a motor racing circuit located in the city of São Paulo.The traditional name of the circuit (literally, "between lakes") comes from the fact that it was built in a region between two large artificial lakes, Guarapiranga and Billings, which were built in the early 20th century to supply the city with water and electric power. It was renamed in 1985 from "Autódromo de Interlagos" to its current name to honor the Brazilian Formula One driver José Carlos Pace, who died in a plane crash in 1977.
    Btw,if I revealed who I am...wont that be a bit of paradox?

    Pic 2. Its was initially named Interlagos, because the tract of land on which it is built is between two lakes as seen in Pic 2.
