In 2009 Kazunori Yamauchi awarded the Gran Turismo Trophy to Bill Lyon at the Pebble Beach Tour d'Elegance for his 1966 Alfa Romeo TZ2, chassis no. 750.106. A beautiful car with a great racing history, enough for me to do an edit. In researching the subject, I found that the livery chosen by Lyon did not represent a race that the 705.106 had won. If I were to restore a racing car, I would use a "winning" livery. So, what's up? The livery used on racing cars could be different from season to season or even from race to race. This is to reflect the previous year's championship positions, changing sponsorship or even race requirements. After seeing the car in other liveries, my theory is that it was its most colorful when painted for the 1966 Targa Florio. Here, the car finished 2nd in class as no. 130. My edit is for the 1st in class finisher for that race and 4th overall, chassis 750.113, driven by Enrico Pinto and Nino Todaro. They drove 10 laps of the 45 mi (72 km) course in 7h:45m:24s on the italian island of Sicily as car no. 126.

'Luminiosity' - Aventador
I've re-uploaded this at least 10 times because I wasn't happy with how it looked... but I think it looks okay now.


'Lurking in the Shadows' - Aventador
Had this image sitting on my harddrive for the past year... so I decided to finish editing it.​

Yeah, RaY29rus, very nice. It looks like the sun is peeking through the clouds on the car's right side. Now, if that's an unintended coincidence then, for a similar shot in the rain, try lowering the saturation and/or brightness of the orange. In heavy rain, there is no direct sunlight, so all the light is reflected light, muting the colors...says the guy who hasn't done a rain edit yet.

^ No, I think he did that because he wanted to show that even in this horrible weather there's still sunshine on one side of th sky... ;)
