[#2860441]

Well, it seemed to go pretty well last week, I thought. So, let's ahve another shot at it, shall we?

The aim is quite simple - let's see some astonishing sports photography. That's it! This week, let's be having some that fall under the general topic of "Speed". So, let's see some fast stuff, some exciting stuff, maybe some lovely blurred images of sports flashing past!

To kick off, always like a bit of a loon in an aero-suit!

Over to you, folks!

Well, if we're on a bit of a rallying tip, as we appear to be, let's have some more Killer Bs!

Loving the Audi, and I think we can allow Thrust SSC in to a sports photography thread, if only because that picture is 100% awesome!

Some great stuff so far, everyone!

How about a little of this?
