Looks like something out of a Brockbank (of blessed memory) cartoon! in fact, Brockbank got his leaning cars by drawing from photographs of racing cars taken with large format Graphic SLRs which had vertically running shutters over their 5x7" "sensors" which took about 1/10th of a second for the slit between the two curtains to traverse the height. So they got rolling shutter effects and nobody said nuffin because that's just about all they had!
