Yep, got it in oneAvantime vs. Evo challenge!
Thanks a lot NB
I have done an Avantime, and Evo, and a set with them together
The question remains... can a Renault "Aheadoftime" Avantime () lap our track faster than a Mitsubishi Lancer Evo X..? No, but the set's still getting produced.
Yeah, when testing them, I was 15 seconds slower than the Evo... But yes, the set had been produced even so - ambitious, but hopefully not rubbish 
T'isHeh, T'is only a frenchy.
So, as jus guessed very quickly, this is the "Can we make an Avantime got faster than an Evo for a fraction of the cost" challenge Link to the videos are here and here (Part 1 and Part 2), but I think only for UK viewers as they are on the Top Gear website.. 
Anyway, enough of the talking, here is the set

#8 the best. 👍
I've tried this before, and it takes almost the price of another Avantime to beat the Evo. X.

Thanks Adrian
Much appreciated SVX
Haha, I don't think they have an F1 wing available in the game like they fitted in the challengeYou should've added a wing to the Avantime!
Amazing set!👍
and thanks Wow, thanks a lot matt, I much prefer the ones with the Evo in, the red contrasted the Avantime and the sky, and I hate working with standards...
I was going to ask for some help with later shoots I have planned, which require more than just 2 cars, like challenges which involved all 3 presenters, I think a "vs" shoot would be greatShot 8 just screams at me. I love that shot! Oh btw, it stands to reason that perhaps me being a TG Enthusiast.. quite literally, we should do a "VS" challenge photoshoot together?
Haha, thanks slzk
It does work wellLove 'em! A red Evo X always does the job.
Yeah, I must say #8 is my favourite as well, took a while getting the composition just right on that one.
Thanks Magic, I hate to produce monotonous sets, so I do try to vary the angles as much as possible
Wow, didn't expect that many comments
Thanks a lot everyone who took the time to view and comment, much appreciated Anyway, taking a break from Top Gear, here is my final Tournament entry, thrashed by RetroGiant by over 50 votes...
Could I maybe have some feedback on this, as next tournament, I would like to get past Round 1

Its a decent enough shot, but honestly I think the angle is just bland. No real sense of speed, the low camera placement does provide much either. In my opinion shot number 4 would have definitely given me a run for my money. So really I think you had a decent enough set of shots, just simply chose the wrong one to enter, and trust me, it happens to us all.

What I really like about that picture are the saturated colours. The lighting is good and the shadows are accentuated, as well. On the other hand, I feel like the shutter speed was set too high - the car's motion is not easily perceptible, which further leads to the (road) blur not being as strong as the viewer would want it to be. Additionally, and that plays an important role in reference to the aforementioned aspect, the focal length could be improved, as well, since I, personally, would want the car to be more conspicuous (compared to the background; speaking of the background, I think that the green tones could have been stronger).
Hope this helps.

Well, I'm no expert but here's my two cents worth. Overall a very good shot with just a few minor 'problems'. As MR said the sense of speed could be a little more exaggerated, though at that angle even a 1/60 speed may not by enough and post editing motion blur would be required. Having the yellow tree behind the yellow car doesn't help the car to stand out and the bright over exposed patch of sky right behind with the bright exposure running along the car also causes it to just blend into the background a little too much. Pretty minor things really but in the tournament minor things matter.
Hope that helps.
Oh and btw, Avantime/Evo set - LOVE IT! 👍

Yeah, I have to say, once I'd entered this one, I regretted it straight away, so I should have thought about it a bit longer really. The main reason I entered this one to be perfectly honest, is that it took me the longest to edit, because I was trying to add a bit more speed, which didn't seem to work...

I think the problem really was the speed of the car and the angle, which I could have altered. I sometimes do neglect focal lengths a bit and leave it on 4.0, if I'm being lazy, unless I want a certain look, and I think I may have done this here.I did add motion blur at one point, but I found that it looked really weird, so I undid that, but I guess I should have persevered a bit more with thatWell, I'm no expert but here's my two cents worth.

Yeah, I suppose, looking at it a bit more, the car goes almost white in one place, and it doesn't stand out... I really should have picked a different one Oh, and thanks about the Avantime vs Evo set
Thanks, I have kinda got into a habit now of vignetting everything really, which I do need to stop
I think I may revisit this set in the future, and I may try one then - never really tried stationary shots on a track before..Thanks everyone for your feedback and advice, I really appreciate that you have taken the time and effort to help me
I guess I made the wrong choice really, although RG's shot was excellent, so even so, I don't really think it would have made much difference If I have any time tonight, I may try and start my next set in the Top Gear series, and may even have a preview up later if you're lucky

I'm loving doing these cryptic previews
Try and guess what Top Gear related set this will be from not one, but two previews
Track's easy, car is pretty impossible unless you really know your Top Gear
Also, I tried some slightly different editing on these, that I will use again in the set a bit I think - could I have some feedback on that

No raining?
It's such a coincidence that I share the same idea with you, only my shots are much worse than you

I cannot guess the Top Gear episode, but - looking at the second picture - I am sure that is the Jaguar S-Type R.

Yep, you're all too good at thisI know my Top Gear, and I know my Jag's. That's an S-Type R.
I did considerably beat 9:59, because the one in the game is the R, not the D (only a slight difference ) - I got a 7:50 ish IIRC, stock with racing softs, and I'm really no racer...Yes, I want a van
Right, I am actually a bit disappointed with how this set came out in the end, I hate working with standards
Next set will definitely involve premiums Anyway, let's see if you like it anyway, and feedback is welcome more than usual on this one Oh and here are some links to videos of the challenge - Part 1 and Part 2Top Gear Series - Part 3 - "Jaguar S-Type Round the 'Ring in less that 10 minutes" challenge
