Hehe @FlipJ , thank you so much for posting these awesome pics which reflect the epic atmosphere of D8 's racing night, it was a blast through all combos, so many position changes, close battles, different podiums and and lol
THX also @DCschwinn for the smooth and warm hosting and of course @vsfit , @pubason & @cmbeal317 for taking care of the main duties, not to forget our 3 new venues, all did a great and fair job and I'm so looking forward to next Sunday...

I thought that Monza would be like that, but I'm glad it wasn't...

Omg, Is that a game ?? Now that's a heavy damage setting....only the leader made it through . Definetly no snail racers in that pack 👍

....first three cars that go airborne have a pretty good formation going

It just turns into a pile of pixels.

Wheels wheels everywhere!! Looks like someone tried to recreate that huge incident about 10 years ago in the rain lol.

Wow.. 17 was able to drive INTO/Through the barrier!

remember that there is a EV setting that can be adjusted UP or Down. Your pictures are really good and could be excellent if you play with the EV settings. Up to give more light... down to close.

He hit the divider, then I helped out by crashing into him and making it into a disaster.

And I did play around with the EV settings a bit, but going past 0.6 either way made it seem too weird for me. So is SSR5 I went with + in a lot of them and in Monza with - in some pics where the sun was creating weird flares (usually when I shot from a low angle and/or if @pubason's chromed out car was in there). But I'll be more aggressive next time, thank you for the compliment and the tip!

The exposure can be thought of as a brightness setting. Darker night tracks like SSR5 will require you to bring it up, quite a bit sometimes. I found that some places like Monza, I have to drop the exposure by almost a full stop (-1) to reduce very bright whites.

I pick the Ferrari 430 Scuderia '07 it will be on sport soft tires and I'm guessing mid division lap times will be around 1:52-1:53. The post oil change PP/HP is 556/527.

Tuesday at 5:30 pm EST and we already have our combos set. That has to be some kind of record

One of my favorite cars in the game. This will be fun!

For anyone taking pictures for banners, tag me in them so I can give some banners a go in the next few days.

I know right!? All this opportunity to practice and I won't even be home this weekend! Agggh!

 

[R34EVO9]

Aww man this week's cars are awesome

 

[Handlebar]

Same here I am liking the lower PP Mazda car this week. I really hope it sticks around!

Yeah, I could have gone way past what I did at SSR5, but it started looking "fake" in a way, so I stopped before I got to that point. I kinda like darker images in my photography generally, so maybe I'm bringing my real world bias into this.

I'm feeling the same way now... All great combos and I can't race on Sunday. Sucks...

Sometimes I do too, but darker images still need balance to pull the subject off the background.

I went up almost 2 on most of the ones at SSR.

@Falango,
do you prefer the subject car be placed on any particular quadrant for banner puposes?

 

[vsfit]

I have completed all 14 IR reviews and am going to go do a little practice with the new combo.

 

[turnupdaheat]

Good job on the speedy decisions and classy combo choices guys. 👍

I predict a happy and harmonious family of snails this week!

Preferably on one of the intersections of you follow the rule of thirds. That leaves enough negative space to add text and info on. Car direction doesn't matter either

 

[RobbiefromBC]

@ConnorWolf your prize selection is making me second guess my retirement from sundays. I see this combo lasting a while, I also see this as a sort of reward for the regulars that show up on monday nights. Pictures are on their way @Falango!

 

[Falango]

Thanks @RobbiefromBC!

On a sad note, bye bye Clarkson. I'm sure he'll keep doing some sort of car show though. Also, I vote that his replacement be Chris Harris! A real car nut at heart!!

So it's official? This is just stupid and a sad way or Top Gear to end. It should never have to end. Think of all the versions around the world! Except the American version. It's awful.

This could be a blessing in disguise if Netflix does pick him up and re-invent the show. Especially if Captain Slow and short man go with him. Imagine, an entire series up at one time...

 

[Dragonwhisky]

The new combo Practice Time Trial events are now live.​

The Leader Boards can be found here.

All previous TT Leader Boards can be viewed by selecting the appropriate tab at the bottom.

I really feel like they will stay together and do something on a different medium. Netflix will also let them get away with more things and play the music they intended. BBC sometimes changes the music. No idea why but it's annoying.

If they go with him, they'll totally reinvent the show the way they want. I'm glad the BC episode made it in right before all this happened haha. Of course though, when they were in Vancouver, it was all rainy shots haha.

I'll have the summary sheets posted later tonight. Going out for dinner with my two daughters first.

 

[RobbiefromBC]

@Falango tried to centre the shots a little bit more that I usually do, hope there's enough room!
