This was shot at F1 Boston during their Friday night league. It's an indoor track, so the lighting is not optimal. I had to underexpose the shot and use IOS 1600 to get a usable shutter speed, but was able to kind of remedy that in Photoshop.
I converted from raw, then used levels, curves, saturation, some cloning to fix a red spot in the upper left corner, a little noise reduction (don't have noise ninja), resized, usm, save for web.
Hopefully, this does not get too beat up in the free study, as I feel it is a decent shot, but advice on how to make it better (without getting a faster lens as I am poor right now) would be appreciated.

This has a ton of potential, my only problem is the graininess here, very unique shot with great colors, and yes you are correct a faster lens would have added a lot here, for the use of lower iso, but nonetheless a very interesting shot.
