Further explanation of the theme, provided by Nato_777:

"I feel like some rally action so it's time to take a rally car to a dirt track and get down and dirty. Rally cars (with liveries) only please (RM's and TC's are OK), it's 2.0 so don't forget all the standard rally cars ;) and multiple cars are allowed.
Now one meaning of the term "down and dirty" is 'dishonest or unscrupulous behaviour' so if you wish to portray that in your shot be my guest and have fun. :)"



CARS: Any liveried Rally car
LOCATIONS: Any dirt track (not snow)
PHOTOTRAVEL: No
UNIQUE RESTRICTIONS: As above

Please, ensure you read and understand all requirements for this competition. Failure to follow
the rules may result in disqualification. If you have questions, send me a Private Message.
This Thread will answer many possible questions you may have.

  • It is recommended you host your image on ImageShack, Photobucket, or Flickr.
  • Not sure how to post a thumbnail or preview image? Read this sticky!
  • Please use a clickable-preview to full-size, not a separate text link for it;
    it makes poll creation much easier!

  • One entry per user. It must be your own work, and never previously used in a comp.
  • Do not ask other users to choose your entry.
  • Mark your FINAL ENTRY clearly, with red text. On H2H weeks, which side, as well.
  • You may change your entry once. Do it clearly; edit out your previous entry, and
    either post the new one in a new reply, or in place of the original.
  • When submitting, use either a thumbnail or a preview image, linked to the full-sizer.
  • Preview images can not exceed 500 pixels in either direction.
  • A preview image must be representative of the full-size image. Do not add effects to it.
  • Do not post "Honourable Mentions" or outtakes - just your Final Entry, that's all.
  • Winner gets to choose the following week's theme, as well as the Top 15. Every fourth
    week, the poll will be H2H style: entries must choose a "team", leading to two 8-picture,
    4-day polls. The winners from each faces off in a final 48 hour poll.
  • Winners cannot enter in their own theme!
  • The Host may ask for the original image and it must be submitted if so.
    It's recommended to save the original image (preferably in-game) until week's ends.
Failure to follow these rules will result in ignored entries and/or disqualification!

  • Adjust brightness, contrast, exposure, shadow/highlights.

I noticed that you have a bit of damage on the Focus, jus1029. Is that on purpose? :)

Which side? The front left facing the camera? That is still stuck on the body. :P
 
Yup, correct. Never noticed that black paint there. Very nice entry jus, looking forward to try and top that (that's unlikely but...) :D
 
Final entry

Great image Kodje 👍 only I suspect that the little flares on the rear wing and drivers helmet are added in which would be a step too far with 2.0 rules.

All the entries are great so far - you guys are going to give me headache when it comes to picking the poll! :crazy:

You suspect good... 👍 (there is just one more little flare on the number 1 sticker ;) ).

That's my first participation and I was afraid of doing a mistake like that 👎

I'm sorry, I should have taken more time to read the rules carefuly :banghead:

Here is the same pic without any flare... I will delete the first one.

Sorry again :)
