Picture Of The Week

Hang this hang time on your desktop...



Picture of the week has been accused recently of biasing towards motor sport pictures. So heading this advice, here is a motor sport picture.

With the recent controversy that rally cars are just not as sideways as times gone by - and regulations being looked at to make the cars drive more perpendicular to the road - here at POTW we are glad that the cars are still getting as much air as ever.

This picture shows the high-flying Frenchman Sébastien Loeb getting air-bound on his way to victory at the Acropolis Rally of Greece. Loeb heads the world championship rankings heading into next weekend's Rally of Turkey and guess what? He'll probably win...

Normal (1280x1024)

WideScreen (1440x900)

Supersize (1600x942)

The 'Supersize' image is the same size as the 'Widescreen' one but just a different crop.

Is it just me or did the grammar in that article make very little sense?

Haha, good shot, but it's just no up there with the photo of the Audi Quattro on one wheel about a foot away from the crowd, who seem more concerned with photography, than getting out of the way...

... ahh, the good old days...
