Mysetrious track again

HINTS:
· I'm seaside
· It's one of the only places where you can place your knee and shoulder VERY close to the guardrails.

Surfers Paradise?

It's just a wild guess, as it's street track, and maybe you can access the track closer.

@edit
Ah, by this metaphore you meant bike racing? Well, I don't have any guess other than Surfers.

I can name a few events with this kind of concept...
· Enduro + supercross = endurocross/enduro indoor
· UK vs USA bike races of the late 70s and early 80s (Transatlantic championship)
· USA vs France vs The World in supercross (Supercross de Paris-Bercy)
· East vs West coast in supercross too (East-West shootout @ Las Vegas)

And how could I forget the inaugural race for Circuit Cataluña, a race between SBK and 500cc bikes (one of the last duels ever seen between Gp and SBK). I'm sorry I cannot remember the name of the event :shrug: ...

Ok, now very easy: Who allegedly gave a hint to film makers of movie ''Grand Prix'', that best place for arranging a spectacular crash at Monte Carlo is the chicane after tunnel?

Edit to precise question: I mean, which driver consulted the place with authors in period during making the movie.
