Last week's winner, LGForce, provides the theme:

It's simple this week; the car choice is up to you.
But the key, as they always say, is location, location, location.
LGForce wants you to choose, between either
City Courses, or World Circuits.
And... go!

City Course or World Circuit, no Photo Travel.

There will be two polls at the beginning of every week.
Each poll will have a top ten for that "competitor".
These polls will last for five days.
A final poll containing the winners from both polls will last 2 days.
You must post your final entry in red letters, ex. “Final Entry”.
Previews may be used, but may be no bigger than 300*400 pixels.
You may have two HM's if a preview image is not used.
You may change your Final Entry once (make it clear you did).
Do not use an entry from a previous competition.
Only one entry may be submitted, and it must be uploaded using Imageshack.

You better click this, the car is much sharper when viewing it fullsize.
 
Dang vr6gti72, I love how you have captured the colours on the side of the car.

I'm still kind of an amatuer photographer (GT4), so yeah. The HKS Silvia is my favourite drift picture I've taken, I love the angle and the sense of speed. I hope to make it in the top 10, never have as yet....

Also, some feedback would be helpful, thanks.
 
You know, I was thinking, (this was just a thought) that maybe we could have like separate comps, one for the amatuer-ish photographers, and the other for professional photographers, maybe to give us not-so-great photgraphers a better chance of makin it in to the polls. It's just a thought, and I know there are flaws, such as enforcement and the like, but yeah, just an idea. I dont mind if it doesn't go ahead...

I don't know if we actually have that many professional photographers here (would be nice to know though :) ). Anyway, about enforcing the rules in a 'beginner' comp, you could have a rule that bans anyone who has ever won one of the 'regular' comps from entering. Would be a simple way to do it, winners are usually remembered. Don't know if this is what you had in mind, just an idea.

Yeah, I'm not really limiting it to anything, that's quite a good suggestion. I was also thinking of maybe in the beginner comps, photographers who have a well established gallery, (or any gallery, for that matter) should not be allowed to enter. Because, basically if you've got a gallery, then your photos should be of decent quality.
 
JEEZ GUYS! GIVE ME A CHANCE!

they are all awesome!
 
Yeah, I think so, lemme check for yah 👍


*Picture removed*


I was gonna enter a much better one but something happened while saving and now the PC can't recognize it so I have to take the shot one more time :grumpy:
 
Here's my attempt at a FINAL ENTRY



im not expecting anything of it. the bad quality is to the lack of my photoshop skills.​
 
You just need to save it at a higher quality. 10 usually works great for me. Other than that (and the wing), nice pic :) Cool colors.
