This week's theme as brought to you by Giulietta73:
"Take the BMW M4 Safety Car to the Ring and quietly park it up on one of the many service roads on the circuit. some of these service roads may even have an ambulance parked near by. There might even be a race happening as you shoot - just make sure that the BMW M4 is stealing the show. Of course, pace car lights are a must and I'm looking for total realism here. Think carefully about time of day and what the weather is doing - and even how damp the track is. Just make sure you are ready should anything go wrong!"
CAR: BMW M4 Safety Car.
LOCATION: Nordschliefe - 24hr Nurburgring variant (it has the best trackside crowds).
UNIQUE RESTRICTIONS: Static shots only, the M4 must be parked on one of the many trackside service roads. Realism is a must. Pace car lights must be fitted.
