Fantastic colour. Sunset is one of the most interesting times in the race. A couple of the turns have the drivers looking directly into the sun and the poor guys lose their depth perception. I have the dvr programed for practice tonight.

I have to say i was quite indifferent about it, until the last couple of days. Now i am quite exited and can't wait to see the cars in action;).

I love it Rob. Great palette and just the right amount of detail. As we say in the states, "You knocked it out of the park."
