Further explanation of the theme, provided by CCShaft7:

"The F1 pre-season testing got underway this week and even with a over month still to the first red lights go out my anticipation is hyped. Myself being a Lewis Hamilton fanboy I know I'm going to have divided loyalties as I still have a soft spot for the McLaren team as well. So the tenuous link is I'd like you to take any road going Mercedes and McLaren out to any track in any scenario... parked side by side, nose to nose, cruising in harmony together or in full-blooded head to head racing. Whatever is up to you."


CARS: At least 1 McLaren and 1 Mercedes (street legal versions) visible in the shot only.
LOCATIONS: Any
PHOTOTRAVEL: No
UNIQUE RESTRICTIONS: As above, no other cars in shot - any track/setting allowed as are any car modifications.

Please, ensure you read and understand all requirements for this competition. Failure to follow
the rules may result in disqualification. If you have questions, send me a Private Message.
This Thread will answer many possible questions you may have.

  • It is recommended you host your image on ImageShack, Photobucket, or Flickr.
  • Not sure how to post a thumbnail or preview image? Read this sticky!
  • Please use a clickable-preview to full-size, not a separate text link for it;
    it makes poll creation much easier!

  • One entry per user. It must be your own work, and never previously used in a comp.
  • Do not ask other users to choose your entry.
  • Mark your FINAL ENTRY clearly, with red text. On H2H weeks, which side, as well.
  • You may change your entry once. Do it clearly; edit out your previous entry, and
    either post the new one in a new reply, or in place of the original.
  • When submitting, use either a thumbnail or a preview image, linked to the full-sizer.
  • Preview images can not exceed 500 pixels in either direction.
  • A preview image must be representative of the full-size image. Do not add effects to it.
  • Do not post "Honourable Mentions" or outtakes - just your Final Entry, that's all.
  • Winner gets to choose the following week's theme, as well as the Top 15. Every fourth
    week, the poll will be H2H style: entries must choose a "team", leading to two 8-picture,
    4-day polls. The winners from each faces off in a final 48 hour poll.
  • Winners cannot enter in their own theme!
  • The Host may ask for the original image and it must be submitted if so.
    It's recommended to save the original image (preferably in-game) until week's ends.
Failure to follow these rules will result in ignored entries and/or disqualification!

Soon after I PM'd this theme to Slipz I see Mr Hamilton gets up close and personal with a tyre wall :ouch: :lol:

BTW: The last comp was locked before I could say thanks to everyone who voted so "Thank You All" :)





..........and apologies for the delay caused by our time zones (Tues deadline not too bad though) and a multi-car theme :guilty: my original idea was very close to FBG's theme this week so I'll save it for now :sly:

Cheers mitch :)....

....and I can totally understand the hate for Lewis, he's that kinda guy. I detest(ed) Alonso for years but he drove the a$$ off that Ferrari last season :crazy:, so deep respect from me 👍 ......still no love though :sly:
 
Excuse my complete stupidity, but this is a multi-car theme then?

Or at least 1 of either?

(Feeling a bit daft this morning) :dopey:
 
What a great theme, as I am an F1 fan I'll definately come up with something. (I want Ferrari to win but I do like other teams as well :D)
 
Like CC said, apologies for the delay; the time zone difference doesn't help, but my mid-week schedule is a complete nightmare of sleep deprivation and piles of class work. Those probably don't help much :P
 
F1 fan here too! Although I'm a Redbull/Lotus fanboy! (GO VETTEL! GO KIMI!)

Glad to see I'm not the only one! :P

I do admit, he's starting to grow on me, it's gonna take awhile though.
 
Hi chaps....... quantity might be a little wanting (seems the trend recently in the comps sadly :guilty:) and my multiple car theme probably didnt help BUT the quality is way up there as per usual, I'm never failed to be impressed with high standard everyone produces :drool: 👍👍

I have a heavy duty Skyrim session about to proceed so I hope to leave this open as long as possible.....perhaps another 3hrs from now so don't be shy if you want throw a last min shot in there :)
