Any problem if there's more than one car in the pic? Or should I PM questions?

OH god, I am being put up against one of my buddys! Good Luck VR6!

Good luck everyone 👍 ... Though im not entering, ill post up a pick for the fun of it.

It's kind fo weird that I'm up against someone whose only prior post was the submition to the tournament.

Just a quick question:
Is it OK if there is a British flag in the picture, but you can't really see it because of the blur?

Also, about the smoke, is it the more the better ( Longer trail? )?

In Specs definition (first post) it states "IF YOU WANT TO CHANGE YOUR ENTRY, PLEASE EDIT YOUR ORIGINAL POST!" so I presume you can change your entry as many times as you wish and what's there on the day the competition closes will be taken as your final entry.

Right -

@gt_masta -

British flag - as long as all the judges can clearly see that it is a British flag then there is no problem. How blurred it is is up to you. Take a look at the shots and if you can tell its a british flag then i dont think we will have problems.

Smoke trails - Bigger doesnt mean better, and longer doest mean better either, Smoke is about how you use it to "set your photo off" obviously if you have a tiny car with a mile longe smoke trail then you wont reap any benifits. There has to be smoke in the photo, as the car is drifitng this is pretty much a definate anyway, but its up to you how you use it. i think i speak for us all when i say try to keep the amount of shots down where it is just a big long trail.

@ Diego440 - You can have 1 to 6 cars on the track as long as yours id drifting (anymore and i will know you been working your photoshop magic)

@Boomboy - yep there were a number of issues with the last tournament but then it was the first and i had been thrown in at the deep end with all these Drift Competitions and Tournaments going on. There are no limits to how many times you can change your photo but i think were all sensible here and were not going to be changing the shots every 20 mins. I have kept the option as unlimited due to the fact that we might get some heated photo battles going on where people post their shots and the opponent comes back with a better and so on.

Anymore questions then please just ask. Im not the only one who knows the rules, to be fair the guys who entered the previous tournament know them just as much as me because they were the people who helped make them up and then streamline them

Hopefully the comp will continue to run as smoothly as it has.

Spec....

Oh i forgot to mention that i wont be about later today or the weekend to answer questions or anything as im going up north to see a couple of friends at uni! I will be back sunday evening though to check how things have progressed.

@ BoomBoy

Your driver is a bit special. i jsut noticed that he isnt even looking where hes drifting! Must be the stig or something

Here's my special double flag bonus entry



And I reckon boomboy's driver is a bit of a poser and is seeing how cool he looks in the mirror

Yeah I think he is the stig. I don’t know why it did that, the only reason I can think of is that I was going the wrong way around the track. I will have to do some investigating about this.

Oh, i almost forgot i have change my final entry, I think this one is a bit more creative. Click HERE to veiw it.

really looks more like he clipped the right rear while going over the crest at the exit of the previous corner, and it spun him around as shown. That's my theory anyways.

gt_masta, that's a helluva sexy shot

I'm still relatively new to drifting...

That said, I did a crappy drift in the previous curve and when I regained control, snapped the other way... so you could say I "linked the drifts". Still, I didn't hit the wall, though.

Anyway, I have a few more creative shots, with less trendy cars, so that may or may not be my final entry as of yet. I'm still undecided and pretty lazy overall. And I'm also waiting to see my CM's shot.

Speaking of which, I'm thinking that should be controlled. I mean, once both adversaries have posted their pics, there's no changing them. If not, I could see his/her shot and try to make a better one... see what I mean?

Yeah, I tought about doing that. But I think it's fair to let people change their entries, so we can have even better photos. And both contestant can change their pic, so if he changes his pic, just do a new one a post it before the deadline.

But it's up to the judges

Oh, and thanks for the comments on my pic guys
