10. A great pre-race atmosphere shot. Super-wide to show everything in the cockpit both in and out. Sun-flare is nice too. Ready to race!

9. Scene-setters are important in rallying imagery - probably more so than any other form of racing. There is so much to work with in the wild of a rally stage. A far cry from the porta-potties, electrical poles and fencing at many modern circuits...

6. Cool view of a DTM pit stop, which is incredibly fast in person. A little unburnt fuel coming alight from the tailpipe makes this a keeper of an image.

3. It's not often you see a burnout in an F1 car. And we love the smoke detail coming off the rear tire.

1. Rally Australia is famous for its red, dusty dirt. Nothing could convey this better than this underexposed rear detail shot of Latvala during shakedown last week. Very powerful.
