[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
At New Zealand's famous Pukekohe Race Track, this is one of the Japanese 4 cylinder cars that race for fun and competition

These cars were extremely unpredictable to know exactly where they woudl be on the track each lap.

I managed to capture this one quite clearly that helps show the incredible speed and power these guys have at their disposal

Hi Steven,
Now this is my sort of photo!! Huge fan of drifting, you've done well with this capture. Well frozen with the semi-fast shutter speed, 1/300 has left just enough blur to give a sense of motion and 'drift'. I've owned RWDs in the past and they are a hell of alot of fun to drive. This Cefiro would no doubt have a RB20DET in it, plenty of power to create smoke :). Personally I would have left some empty space down the bottom to give the car room to 'move into', but the panorama has come out nice and clear.

TFS,
Scott.

Nice job. I like the action you've captured, and the tight framing works well IMO. The smoke from the spinning tyres is an awesome touch.

Super shot Steven,
The shutter speed is spot on with the car being really sharp and the tyres a bit blurred. The panorama format works really well
cheers
Jack
