Please, ensure you read and understand all requirements for this competition. Failure to follow the rules may result in disqualification. If you have questions, start a convo with me.
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.
  • Absolutely no hybrid, hacked cars, or cars obtained through such means.
  • Mark your FINAL ENTRY clearly, with red text. On H2H weeks, which side, as well.
    Unsure how to? Copy and paste the following:     [COLOR="Red"]FINAL ENTRY[/COLOR]
  • 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 20. Every fourth
    week, the poll will be H2H style: entries must choose a "team", leading to two 10-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!

FINAL ENTRY



Razor's Edge

___________________________________

When Peugeot introduced the 908 HDi Le Mans car, it didn't feature much in the way of technical innovations or interesting rule interpretations. However, one interesting feature of the car was it's remarkably thin rear wing. The wing's leading edge was razor thin and as far as engineering execution went, it was arguably the only part of the car they could make better than Audi. Although this small innovation wasn't marketed, advertised, or bolstered by Peugeot because it would never be used on a road car, it quietly became a staple of Peugeot's motorsport effort. The same wing would be used again on the 908 HDi's 2011 successor, the 908, and was the only part of the car other than the windshield to be reused. When Peugeot closed the doors on its Le Mans program at the end of 2011, the wing still hadn't seen its last use. It was implemented again in 2013, where it featured on Sebastian Loeb's Pikes Peak record smashing 208 T16.
