In the first video you were definitely at the right place at the right time but it could have easily been so different. The joys of online racing eh? :p

[B]Congratulations to @robillard3381 for their storming win in this contest!! Massive plaudits to hassan1995 who was runner up, and to Milli, mau and Ry for their Bronze threesome. :p[/B] A BIG thanks to all of who could be bothered to vote also! :D

Quite amazing to watch history being made as SpaceX successfully launched a used rocket to deliver a payload and then to make it even sweeter, the first section landed back on the drone ship in the Atlantic. Congratulations on quite a monumental achievement to everyone at SpaceX.

2017-03-30: New Rank icons have been implemented. We have had the shinies for soooo long that I felt it was time for a change. I have also reworked the postbits (the things the hold your post content) to display better on tablet devices and fixed the 'Horizontal' postbit which I appeared to have left in an unfinished state when SEVEN was released. Very sorry about that to the small amount of you who use that layout.

Yeah moved Mass Effect 2 to Expired and put the game Rassva mentioned in now. Checked out the video for it and it looks like a no bad wee game, especially for free.

That Bugatti Chiron feature was excellent. Watching Harris thrashing the nuts off of it and being taken aback at the speed, coupled with the outstanding cinematography, made for a very enjoyable segment. The versus race was fun too, I expected a different end result but then I guess that [spoil]border stop in Oman[/spoil] did seem to be quite lengthy. The Twingo piece was brilliantly executed too. Loved the graphics they were using for it and again the way it was filmed made it exciting to follow. I cannot stand Tinie so won't delve into the interview at all. Another good episode though for the most part.

POLL OPEN :happyspin: Don't forget if you entered and can vote* then you MUST vote, for your entry to be valid! Exceptional selection of pics submitted for this contest from everyone who entered and it was fun to watch how each of you approached the theme. Resulting in a very varied set of images that ranges from a single car on the track to full-on pack chasing interspersed with different weather and time of day conditions. Have a feeling this is going to be quite a tight vote and may in fact see us end up with more than just a solo winner. Whoever takes the prize(s) though will be fully deserving! *if you have less than 10 posts then you can still enter but will not be able to cast a vote @Paladin Skylark: The poll needs to be added while the thread is open. So the entry list can be populated when the thread is closed but, has to be opened to add the poll. It is why in the past we've said to wait for the 'POLL OPEN' post to know when it's all done. ;)

Nice little flurry of activity at the end there guys. :) :locked:

Actually, there have been instances in the past where we have taken the latest image posted by someone as their entry and it has turned out they meant for another to be used. Most asks are because situations before have shown a need for them to be there. :)

@carlos_69 get that 'entry post' text onto your pic! :evil: And I know some people wonder why we ask for this so here is the reason: You may be deciding between a few images for your entry so if you want to post them in the thread and ask for opinions, that is fine (as long as you don't beg for votes). So you can have your posts with other images, and then when you are happy to go with the one you want, you edit that post to contain 'entry post'. That way, we know which one for sure you want to have as your entry. :p Make sense? :D

The ASOT stage has just started off with Ruben de Ronde and will go on for 11 HOURS!! ASOT Festival *below times are Miami time -- started 4PM GMT / 5PM BST

@hassan1995: Mate real life shots are not permitted. :cheeky: Incredible capture, did you have this one to hand already or did you take it specifically for this contest?

I imagine a lot of the goals are by accident rather than deliberate in this mode at the moment. Looks good fun as you would expect though. :p

Holy hell this is going to be a tough one to choose between! :eek: Want to see even more great entries though in the last days you have to get them in! And I can't believe I need to say this after the final warning in the previous contest but if you do not have 'entry post' with your image then we will not be accepting your pic for the poll.

Excellent entries so far, and it is interesting watching how people are approaching this theme with their images.

[B]Congratulations to @Loz who somehow managed to pip 3 others to take the outright win by only 1 vote! :eek: A big well done to the runners-up and to everyone else who managed to get an entry in. It was a good contest with an interesting theme and you lot managed to deliver. [/B] [I][U]Notices:[/U] * Eeshan did not vote in the final poll[/I]

He's been through it a bit this guy and so has May in a few instances. When will it be Clarkson's turn? :evil: Good to hear it wasn't serious, though if he hit his head I do hope he got it seen to.

This was definitely the weakest episode so far and quite a drop down from the previous two that came before. The DB11 segment was well done I thought, I didn't think it went too long either, except for the overly lengthy final 10 seconds with the police and helicopter which should have been half the time it was given imo. The news and guest were seriously forgettable, that interview was so bad and I was close to turning it over every time it came back to her. And the whole Harris yells at celeb bits is just making him look like a tool. The Golf piece was going so well until they started wanting us to believe a pocket rocket could pull those speeds on the fast sections of the track. The studio and early pieces are geared to car fans and it's incredible to think that they believe these same fans won't know this is all crap. Really pulled down the episode that part for me. What would have made a better bit was having the super Golf chase down its siblings or something. All powerful farm equipment is a thing that either works or doesn't and I don't mind them shoehorning these bits in and it was kind of cool to see those super slo-mo shots of stuff being destroyed. :) Finished off well enough with the FIAT and I liked the conclusion that was reached. Someone needs to tell him to stop using US English to describe the cars though. Then again, maybe that's going to be his bit.

Your last day to get in those votes people so don't forget to do so! :cool:

Yeah sorry, I did think of ways to say it but nothing easily identifiable came to mind. I also didn't want to remove your entry from the poll in case it messed something up as I cannot test that out right now.

Then I must do what I gotta do. @Microphone and @cis4care you can Unvote and change your vote to a new one if you want.

I have always liked that gen of IS. And damn is that sky blue! :cool:

Wait I missed that. I checked and double checked the listings. How did that get past me? :susp:
