Mark Webber is returning to sports car racing, this time with Porsche in 2014 and new safety features!


Porsche LMP1 Prototype 2014 Nürburgring Nordschleife

Back in 1955, Mercedes-Benz crashed at Le Mans with devastating results, the factory stopped racing there until 1998 where they flipped and crashed again in 1999 with Mark Webber, never to return. Porsche flipped their GT1 in 1998 at Road Atlanta, later tried to fix it but stopped racing in the top-tier, LMP1 category, until next year. This is a shot of Mark Webber in the new 2014 Porsche LMP1 prototype undergoing certification testing at the "Ring". Extreme precautions have been taken, so just in case life repeats itself, Porsche has prepared an ejection seat. Since he and Porsche have had some flight experience it should be an easy fit.
Disclosure: This Porsche is an un-edited photo from the web. It was announced a couple of months ago that Mark Webber will leave the F1 Red Bull team to drive Porsche prototypes. I am poking a little fun at Mark Webber, so, no whining.

Loving the composition and lighting in the first SLR shot, Nicolas. That BMW is looking quite neat, as well. :)
 
Dreading Civilization



Repelled by and disgusted by civilization a man decides to go on a drive far away and cut loose. Sadly, shackled by the chains of society, he must return back.
 
Metalsun, that van looks crazy!:crazy:👍

I got withdrawals and decided to edit another pic that's been sitting on my hard drive. Nothing special; just wanted to try out some realistic tones for this.
