cutting corners....
 
Great shots everyone, but I think some people didn't get the point right, or maybe it was me. When they say racing boyond the limit, I would think that it was how DO said, clipping corners and such, to me, doing 360s or flying around in the air is racing anymore.

Does my shot go with the theme, or is it not "pushing it to the limit".

I think yours is great, just a little to fast through a corner, went off the track a little, nice shot. I'm just saying pushing the limit is one thing, but (no offense) flying around and spinning around is a bit too much, what kind of racing is that?
 
I'm kinda wondering how "right" my shot is, too. It's in the series of S-curves on Infineon, and on the last one, my steering inputs had become too severe and I slid into the cones and nearly off course. What it doesn't show is I was right on an Elise's tail on the last lap and was trying to catch him :)

Well, I shouldn't be judging them as I'm not the theme picker or the judge, but I'm just giving my opinion, so I think your shot is good too, as your car is still somewhat on the track, its still racing.
 
This comp seems to lean toward the situation the car is in and using your imagination.. In racing you know your limits and your the fastest when your right at them, when you pass these limits usually something happens, like a crash, or break, ect. Pictures that show cars flying through the air or completly off track and out of control are truely "Past the limit", pictures featuring cars slightly off course or cutting a corner seem to follow the lines of "Pushing the limits"..which is what I thought the theme was originally. I'm open for comments on this one, cause I want to see other peoples thoughts.

There definitely seems to be two sides to this topic, you can see it in the pictures. Clarifying this would be great so that all entries will be to form of the topic.
 
PERFECT BALANCE

Well that happens in racing when you go over the edge and take a risk too big, so with my shot I thought it would qualify because I went over the limit, but it didn't pay off... Its racing in my books...
 
I'll enter if I have any time left from all the school work :ouch:
Last week I didn't have time, hopefully this week would be different!

Cool theme BTW! 👍

Thanks 440

Im quoting myself cause I havent seen a response..

So are we supposed to be featuring pictures "Past the limits" or "Pushing" them??? The description and the title contradict each other.
 
in the course of trying to win the race... and like someone else already said, flying all willynilly is just never gonna help you overtake that car in front of you.
 
Sumyunguy, that is awesome! And "flying all willynilly" certainly didn't hurt in M34. Well, cutting the grass didn't hurt, I guess going completely "willynilly" would get you penalties. I won though, so I'm gonna say it fits, because it did help me pass the 300SL.

DO, this one's for you. Not as dramatic as some of yours, but I did what I could ;)

I understand that, but if you read the title..."Past the limits".. in my eyes, like I said, that would mean the result of going beyond the limit.. crashing,, out of controll,, ect.. But the description describes a picture that would be "Pushing the limits".. Look, I was just wanting to know which topic was wanted so I, and all the other people, can enter a picture to the requested theme.

I think JTSnooks and others have the right idea to what im saying. I was just wanting things to get clearified.
 
I think this is just way too much splitting hairs. If a pic is good and showcases a fair amount of racing action, I think it will speak for itself.
