I want to share some feedback.

What really puts in that realism factor is the angles and position. It would not be realistic for a photographer to be in the middle of a track with a 150 MPH car heading their way. Do 'by the side' shots or somewhere that seems like you could get in real life. Zoom in if you need to. Also, the track and car combination also help a lot.

What about taking photos that are shot from the back of car?

What mean is, when the photographer is sat in the back of something like an RS6 Avant, or a similar car.

This photo shows what I mean a bit better.

All car magazines do this type of shot.👍

It kind of depends what you mean by realism. Is it the car that should look realistic? Or is it the shot that should look realistic?

I've seen various shots here - black & white, retro-vintage, lomo etc - that look like a realistic picture.

I've seen many shots where the car is the realistic element - where its about light and tone of the car, not necessarily the position of the camera.

And of course there are many where it's the combo of the two.👍
