    Shots like this are hard to do without correcting unless you bring some big ass reflectors out in the field or huge strobes and softboxes to light the shadows with fake fill light. But since cameras these days have huge dynamic range, this takes just a few minutes in post production on the computer.

    It's a similar corner for sure, but the real thing looks like that - https://flic.kr/p/gpcifg - wider, steeper, and unless you are on the track itself, you can't take a shot with the same perspective.

    And from down low after the right hander, it is hard to be level with the track when looking at the corner from that angle as the hillside drops lower than the track on that side of the pavement. Higher up towards the turn you can be level and even above, but then the corner is seen more from a head on view like in the second image. Also, at that point you are looking almost right at the top of the car dropping down at the steepest part

    I like the first picture, the second one only has part of a MINI in it.

    Those red lips look almost anodized, is that the case? I have been bouncing around between all red or a black and red combination, those look really nice.

    It's a candy red over the polished rim. It isn't very durable. those are 18'' and I'm getting a set of 17'' painted black with the red rim. When I posted for opinions the consensus was to go with a regular red instead of the candy. But I still don't know.

    Is that how the shot came out of the camera, or did you do some correcting on the computer? That is a tough shot to get in-camera without losing your shadow details.

    2000, the heyday of CART/Champcar... he's a good driver, but Helio shouldn't have been in that car. ☹️

    Only thing that would make it better is to have the Red one be RHD. [emoji12]
