Rono, Welcome!!!
First, I would have been further away from the lead car. The lead car is off the frame. (Unless you meant to do that) Step waaaaaaaay back.The zoom in GT6 is magical in some aspects. Telescope the camera, (Up & down), so all cars are visible (Unless the shot is about the lead car). Practice.
Then the sky, I'm all for sun showers, but a gray sky (Using weather, or pump up the exposure) is far more believable than a blue sky, at sundown, with rain.
A little blur (The stands, background, cars far away) will give you one less thing to worry about. The shot has no depth to it, it's flat. Play with the camera, learn it, work within it's limitations, then rule it with iron fist. Practice.
The 'Rain'...C'mon...Looks like it sits on top of the photo, not in the photo. Opacity slider/ Overlay,ect. I would suggest you get the photo correct, then toning (Hue, saturation, curves, ect), before you do rain edits. No point of perfect rain in a bad photo.
There is no wet asphalt all the water pouring down. It should at least rain on the first car, or a puddle/ reflection, wet asphalt under all cars (As it is raining). Forget the rain, concentrate on the shot being realistic first. THAT is what we do here. Get your basics first.
I can't get upset with your shot, because I posted my first photo here, (Universally hated), and followed the examples (Photos), and got flamed along the way, but, once I saw NB Designz take them doors off the Lambo in 2012, I was NOT leaving...Flame On!!! I stuck with it, now my talent almost matches my imagination.
The gentlemen here provide excellent examples of realism, don't look at the photos, study them...Hard...Like a Religion. (I did, and still do) Ask questions of an artist you like, if no answer, try another. Look in magazines, online, and such for inspiration. There are also threads that tutor some aspects of GT photography. Start with the photo tutorial.
Like most things in life, you have to want it to achieve it. Practice.
Then one day, you can do stupid sh.. like this! Yay!!!
The fun part is I still have no idea what I'm doing fully. Practice, Practice, Practice!
My name is Gary, hit me up if you need to.
NINJAAAAAAAA!!! What up???

The voice of reason. Nothing to add, nothing to remove to Gary's post. Practice, get inspiration from others, from everywhere you go in the real world as in the internet, inspiration is everywhere, read tuto (here and in the GT5 photomode forum, there is especially a rain edit tuto there), read the Q&A thread also (https://www.gtplanet.net/forum/threads/gt6-photomode-photographers-q-a-11-kodje.294947/) and practice.

Ninjitsu obviously was applied to the shot!👍👍👍 Looks like the car is parked by some solar panels. And that is wonderful! Very realistic, straight to the point...Real!
A little white balance was used?Eric!!! Way to get in there, clear the room, and bring out the intel!!! Meticulously shot, and total domination of the mood!!! Love the clarity/ bokeh. Pure photography at it's finest. But you already know this. Stupid-Real!!!
Thanks for backing me up Jeremy!!!

First post in a while, as something rather strange happened; I extremely suddenly lost all interest in taking photos from GT6! It was probably due to the fact that I completely overkilled it; I took about 800 photos in one month, my previous record being 300!
. So yeah, make sure you don't do that. also, opening up a gallery gave me the impression that it was my job to upload a set on a regular basis, and that somehow made it infinitely less enjoyable. also it probably had something to do with getting a new game, GT6 taking forever to export pictures, and 90% of those pictures looked rubbish on my computer anyway. But yeah, I'm going to try to return to the whole photo taking thing, just make sure you don't do what I did. This is a fun little hobby, not a responsibility! Anyway, I'm going to guess you died soon after that jump there Gary! 
Here's a picture from the last set I did, but I don't think I posted it here! Enjoy!

Many thanks man !! I do what I can, I wanted to repeat a white car 
I love the feeling of movement, would go maybe a little more contrast, but I love them.
And now the missing part of the M4, something less showy
