 Almost right out of the camera. Just a slight crop to the top and right side of the photo, added saturation, sharpened a tiny bit, resized for web.

Was panning with the car to get the background a bit blurred but yet a slow enough shutter speed to get the motion in the tires. I like the other cars in the background of this one.

Oh, this car also won the race!

The car is nice and sharp, maybe a bit much background?
