Great entries!!! I found this one very very very challenging. Should have sticked to my first entry, almost certain I would have made it to the poll then...
But anyway, good luck to all who made it this week

 

[Jason~Bourne]

Dang, I thought for sure that Viper GTS would be in, was looking forward to voting for that one. Oh well, voted for my second favorite

 

[Rossticles]

The Rome Circuit shot looking onto the main straight gets my vote. It looks most like a toy.

Thanks in advance for any votes I get. I hate to enter a X2010 because they're everywhere, but it was the best I had.

 

[Jacob]

Made the poll.

But I can't agree with that the entry leading now is the best.

T-12's F1 @ Cape Ring looks fantastic, therefore I voted for it.

 

[JediRage]

That cape ring spiral shot reminds me of a toy set I used to have ...

 

[gtuned]

I love the Chapparal 2D shot. I have a hot wheels like that and it reminds me of when i used to play in the grass with it, that little bit of tilt in the car gives it the perfect hotwheels toy effect.

 

[Jason_B]

Great shots, disappointed to not make it but I was one of the last shots from the same track that everyone else used for the most part.

 

[stpatty]

11th week entering, and I finally made the poll!

Now to get a vote...

11th week entering, and I finally made the poll!

Now to get a vote...

I know the feeling, 7 weeks for me, the irony is that this is probably the worst shot I've entered in all those weeks.

 

[ivoyared]

Third poll in the same week, now I'm happy.

 

[Jacob]

No votes, again... But anyhoo.

 

[MetalBeerSolid]

Quite shocked I didn't make the poll. (http://img7.imageshack.us/img7/2834/highspeedring11.jpg) A few that did make it didn't use tilt shift properly. A few conveyed motion blur, again, not good for miniature shots. And that one drifting? Toy cars' tires don't smoke!

Sorry if I come off as sour.

Yeah, I have to agree about the toy car drifting. Your picture is awesome and I am missing that SambaBus one in the Top Gear Test Track that looked like a LEGO Airport.

But, this is the judge's choice, not ours. Better luck next time.

Thanks 👍

Yours is cool, gives the feel of a large scale model (Maybe 1:16?)

 

[Evolvedsoul]

Yay! Made it into the poll!!
(The Daytona track doesnt let the camera go high enough.. )

 

[Revolution.]

Cape Ring looks like an awesome hot wheels/matchbox toy set

 

[aws1423]

After all these weeks I finally made the cut for the first time!
I also have 3 votes!

 

[Sam_Fear]

Good pics everyone! It's a tough filter to use well.

 

[Jacob]

I considered changing my entry, and the smoke. Yeah, it felt wrong once I made it.
Miniature cars only drift in your mind.

And MetalBeerSolid, I can't believe that your entry didn't make it. It was so much better than mine.

 

[tonilleshusband]

I loved your shot. Especially the wheels - they look just like Hot Wheels wheels. I'm sorry to see you weren't there.

 

[MetalBeerSolid]

Yeah, I was going for a Hot Wheels look and was really pleased about how the wheels turned out.

 

[tonilleshusband]

Never mind

 

[JediRage]

Wow its neck in neck between the Rome and Cape Ring pics.

 

[chromatic9]

That cape ring spiral shot reminds me of a toy set I used to have ...

Same. And my attempts to build something like this in scalectrix.

Great shot too. When I saw the comp I thought this would be a great place to take a photo.

 

[tonilleshusband]

Congrats on the big W Kanisama, great shot.

 

[kanisama]

Wow thanks for all the support! It was a close race. Congrats to very deserving 2nd and 3rd place (tonilleshusband and Fido_le_muet). I can finally sleep now

 

[tonilleshusband]

Yeah. it's a little disheartening for me, this is my 4th second place in as many weeks. Perennial bridesmaid I am. At least I lost out to a great shot. Actually, when I say fido's shot I thought that would win. Nice work all, best of luck for week 20.

 

[Fido_le_muet]

Great battle this week !
I'm satisfied of my third place, second and first place are great shots. 👍
