This was taken on Stage 4 of the Wyedean Forest Rally at Chepstow Race Course.
I had fun taking the pictures, I'd never been to a rally before and had wanted to for years so this was the perfect excuse. It also gave me the chance to try out my 70-300 IS lens I bought a few weeks ago on setting 2 for panning.
Cropped, USM, adjusted sat slightly.
Post Challenge
Very pleased with 23rd. Thanks for the great comments, this is only my 3rd entry and I am learning loads of new things.
I really don't understand the 1's and 2's though, oh well!
What did I learn from this challenge: Creatively using the shutter speed to get motion blur
The Unsharp mask. Never used it before, works really well!

This really is a great shot. I wish that there was a bit more pan to really create a stong effect of speed. The background is a bit too still to give me that extreme feeling. The wheels however to give that feeling of speed.
Nice pan, I like how sharp the car is. Would like it better if the car was a little further to the left of the photo so it had more room to drive into the photo.
