Great job on the photos and nice start to your gallery! Represent on the standards...love the BMW M3 GTR and Sauber Merc shots - two cars that should have been premiums in my opinion. Also, nice close-up on the chromeline.

Some of these shots are bloody amazing...the Garaiya ones could be real photos.
Love the fact that amongst all the exotica, you've got a Life Step Van, and modded too, by the looks of its stance. Still waiting to add that to my line-up of giant-killing monster slow-cars.
BTW hello from another Cambridge person...

Well first thing I'm going to say is lower your f-stop number, and quickly read up on rule of the thirds. Also, set your shutter speed between 60-250 m/s. I also noticed that most of your shots are rather dark, so play around with the exposure settings too.
I'll be honest, you've really got the potential there, it shows in your photos you've already taken, you just need to find a style that suits your kind of photoshooting. Personally I like shooting at high aperture numbers i.e. 25-45, but when I go for that impression of speed, I like to use 4.5-8.0 and panning mode 3. That's another you should experiment with. Panning modes. They can really help make your photo sharper.
Last thing I'd say to help you is, when shooting standards, always capture at 2.0 magnification. That way when you resize them, you don't get the jaggy shadows as they are more faded out, etc. And just before I forget, when posting photos from Flickr, use the Medium 640 option as that's the perfect size for GTP, and it helps save peoples bandwidth too. Also loads faster ^_^
