I was going to enter this, but I don't see why we're being restricted to those tracks. It makes no sense at all.
 
because these tracks offer a very special kind of slipstream :D

just a joke, just a joke... :cheers:
 

There appears to be no reason for choosing them :confused: You can slipstream on any track, it just seems that these have been chosen entirely at random.

I've got an entry in the making though.
 
Maybe he only wants to see those tracks. I don’t see the reason of complaint.

Anyway and moving along, here is my:

Final Entry

That's just sexy right there :eek:
I am really liking what I am seeing this week. Gonna be a tough top 7!

I chose those 3 tracks because they have some of the best straights IMO. They have the best straights coming out of tight corners. Not that corners have anything to do with it really. But if you really hit the last corner before the straight and carry a lot of speed, it makes even more use of the slipstream. Just my thoughts. Didn't think of the Test Course though...oh well.
 
Final Entry



Slipstreaming in the straight and catching up!
 
There go all chances of winning, epic shot mog!
 
indeed Ray... if i´d speak about my shot, i´d say there go all chances of getting even one vote...:indiff:
 
There goes my hopes...only if...when does this close again? I may pull something I thought of doing since I saw the theme name, though, I didn’t want to do the “typical” 2.0 shot…
