Shot using 200mm with teleconverter at x2, with a slight crop to enhance the angle. Image processed in LR to enhance colour and contrast, then with PS CS3 to remove dust spots and USM.
Many thanks for all the nice comments - the picture was taken during a corporate day when I got to drive an amazing variety of machines - here are some more from the day:

Just seen this result, Matthew! Well done on a wonderful capture. An added bonus to a great day out! Hope you have more time soon to enjoy your photography.
I had to come back to this one and comment. Did the guy holding the flag pose or was that for real. Either way this is composed very well and you still got some motion blur as well. Congrats.
I don't vote in challenges I'm in but I thought I'd leave a you a comment because I think this is the best shot in this challenge. The arm and flag do well in framing the car which is in good focus, and the motion blur just adds that extra touch. It's a great shot. I hope it does well for you.
Makes me wonder how many shots were taken to get the flag and car perfectly aligned like this.... Great capture- the blurred flag/arm and focused Porsche are great! My favorite of the challenge- great technically and conveys the challenge prompt perfectly.
