My GT should suit this week, seeing how it has a mean look.
 
Hope you guys like the theme. The winner this week, will get any car they want, under 1,000,000, and it'll be fully tuned for them, by me.

I was just debating whether to buy one today. This is as good a reason as any. 👍
 
Nice one Benmastaw00t! I'm never able to get good looking "track photo travel" shots. It always looks weird when I try :dopey:
 
Sorry if this is a little off topic, but can anyone recommend some half decent free editing software I can use for this? Otherwise I'll go ahead and enter a non-edited shot. Thanks.
 
Thanks dennis, I'll give gimp a go and see how I get on 👍

Edit: I tried that program out, seems really good, however I have learnt I know little about editing :(

So for now I'm going to enter an unedited pic, I hope thats permitted?

Just a quick question : several cars in the shot are not allowed right ? Even if they all are Ford GT '06 ?
I'm sure I know the answer already but just to be sure.
 
Araba
Why that?
Your B/W shot is pretty good, reminds me of the GT40//LeMansEra :)

I totally agree!! Love the shot, for a B/W photo it has perfect lighting. Also like that the car is standing still.

I'm gonna shoot my cccl6 tonight :D
