The car was stationary and photoshoped to look like it was pulling into the pits?

kinda like it, they colors definitely are striking, and the surrealism adds to it, well done

Actually, I don't reckon it was.
Looks like it could have been shot during a night race though.

To the OP, I don't mind the idea, but would have liked to see the car a little bit sharper.

Edit...Ooops, on a second look, I think sigma pi might be right.
If the car was moving, the shadow of the gantry on the car should be motion blurred as well.

It's a fair cop guv. It was shot with my a590 and I wanted to jazz it up. I felt I went too far - hence the posting. I didn't like the rear and missed the gantry shadow entirely. I've only been using Gimp (great kit) for a fortnight and am still a bit heavy handed.

I've attached the original and would appreciate any advice.

Thanks for your critique

Ahhhhh You caught me. I was looking at the lights on the windows only
I thought the gantry was some kind of graphic

I think its pretty darn good. The lights on the windows was the only thing that made me question it.

Good job.

Technically, in a panning shot, the rear of the car wouldn't be "blurred-out" like that!
And the amount of blurring in the wheels and in the background don't match.

Bit of a nothing shot imho.......

I like it, great idea and nicely executed. It took me a while to get my head around the gantry motion blur, but yes, it definately should be.

My biggest problem with it is the glare from the lights.

I agree 100%
