At the bottom of the image there appears to be an airfield, runway and perimeter road so could be looking at an airfield track?

that would be nice...how about an FW01 ugly, unsuccessful, but a cool model with lots of detail to see. Everything from 01-09 would be amazing !!

I guess FW07 or FW15. Remember they did a book dedicated to FW15.

Williams was at Didcot at the time the 07 was made... not sure they’d moved to Grove by 1993...

Yes, you posted your answer just before me. Good research, looks like you've got it. But which car? Non of the Williams 'classics' have come from Grove have they? Didcot were the true glory days, to me anyway.
