Further explaination of the theme as described by sejtur.

"I love it when cars, racing, or in movies, chase each other. (last valencia F1 GP was great for
these kind of shots) It always has a lot of action, tension and speed in it. I want you to capture
that action, tension and speed in a chase, so make sure you're driving fast enough. It doesn't
have to be a clean battle, a few wheels off the track or a little bump only adds to the effect.
And if you're missing some speed or action, don't forget to try out panning mode 1.
I love that mode."


Cars: Any.
Locations: Any.
Phototravel: No.

This Thread will answer many possible questions you may have.

  • Your PM must consist of a preview image no bigger than 500px at the largest side with a
    direct link to the full size image.

    with it.
  • One entry per user. It must be your own work, and never previously used in a competition.
  • Do not use a photo from your Gallery or post your photo shoot in your Gallery until after
    the competition (and poll if you made it) has closed.
  • 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.

  • Winners cannot enter in their own theme!
  • The Judge will select the top 10 entries and PM to the Host for the poll.

Credits to who made this theme for the tourney, I couldn't think of an interesting one myself. ;)

Can that include bumping opponents off the track?

In those GT4 Competitions, the judge (theme-setter) is allowed to enter, so probably the theme-setter (not the judge) is also allowed to enter, in these GT5 Competitions...

...not trying to indicate anything here :p
 
Speaking of the GT4 Photomode competitions, you should join the action in that category, Mitch. There is still heat going on there.
 
I haven't received your entry.

Im so sorry, i kinda sent it to the wrong guy...
