This was my top pick. If you picked that spot to catch him , you really got an artistic output with the location. The red/white blurred course marking felt like it added speed to the shot, amplifying the clarity of the car when you look at it.
In other words, I really like it! Congratulations!!!!

Thank you.

In truth I picked that spot as even I can see over the fence from that place ;-)

There is also the option of front, side and rear shots from there and also the opportunity of getting 2 cars, one into the corner and one out of the corner which exaggerates the feeling of speed even more.

Amazing, did you use a 400 mm with TC 1.4? Good first place. How did Alonso do in the race?
