the rules may result in disqualification. If you have questions, ask me via a Conversation.
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!

  • Do not ask other users to choose your entry.
  • Absolutely no hybrid, hacked cars, or cars obtained through such means.
  • Mark your FINAL ENTRY clearly, with red text.
  • 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.
  • 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.

"Must not be more than 1/2 car length behind your opponent(s)"

Pagani must be behind an opponen - not leading?
That's the way I read it.

Definitely adding challenge on top of a challenging challenge.



Edit: Good thing this is a 2.0 because the lighting at this track in photomode is 🤬

You're at the track at night, two cars are locked in battle. You grab your camera as you see the action unfold...

One is the Pagani (The feature car).

The Pagani may be in the lead, or slightly behind, but the must be in battle for position.

Close-Ups are fine. In my full vision, the sky is also visible during the action (Under The Stars), but not needed.

The other car may be just a blur. (I understand), as long as the Pagani is prominent.
 
I get the feeling there are going to be alot of somewhat "similar" shots in this one lol...

I know mine could be construed as a "rip off" at the moment :scared:
 
Now my shot might be considered a rip off too...:indiff:
 
I can't believe you guys brought my vision to life... All have exceeded my expectations. I have goosebumps!:cheers:
 
Past deadline so I'll close this one now and start the next comp.

~~~~~~ Competition Closed ~~~~~~
