This photo was taken at Kyalami during a Wesbank V8 Race in the Vodacom Power Tour. I then motion blurred the background a little, I think it turned out pretty well. The flames often come out the exhaust when they gear down under braking! Hope you enjoy it... Just to add in for those who asked, I used a Cannon 20D with a 75-300mm USM IS Lens. Comments welcome, thanks!

I love it !!! This is a great image for a speed freak like me ;-))
It would have been over the top if the car had shown us it's red glowing disc brakes...
Your manipulations work very well..the whole shot has great dynamics, very well done.

This pic is simply Amazing. The sence of speed is well preserved and it seems like I get the feeling just as I look at it. Nice composition and focusing. If its possible state the equipment used for this and the Exif. Good work!!!

This is a superb capture with the detail of the car and the sensation of immense speed.

Awesome! Forgive my lack of detail on why I like it, I urgently need to clear out an image from my favorites gallery to make room for this.

Marvelific! Intersting, Looks kinda like 1st curtain shot as well as 2nd curtain shot with the front / rear bumper shadowing. Was this two shots somehow over laid into one? We want more!!!

Great blur work. Removed all distractions and added more streamlined speed. Good timing catching those flames before the turn.

Awesome photo. I love how the car is crystal clear, and everything around it is blurred.

That is such a sweet capture!! Did you pan at all or is the background strictly from motion blur? I would like to try different panning methods....so your advice would be greatly appreciated.

Sweet shot! Not easy to get such a clear shot at those kinds of speeds!

if at first you don't succeed, you're about normal.

A great shot. Pan photography is one of my favourites, as well as macro! I would love to do this for a living, it would be so much fun! Thanks for sharing.
