    Does this work?
    No I don't mean racing, of course it won't - the wheelbase is too short !

    Maybe with the tires exposed. I am not sure of your intention. Or if there were no background distractions.

    I'll take that as a no then.

    Hard to get rid of the distractoins in the garage, after all the tyres are surrounded by mechanics waiitng to run out with them and put them on the car.
    For the same reason, they have the covers on the sides so you can't see the tyres themselves.

    Not sure what your intention was for this shot, but I find myself somehow interested in the roundness and texture of the covers and that they are plugged in. I think cropping tighter and blurring out most of the surroundings would bring it up a bit.
    btw, arent these used to keep the tires warm till they go on the car? Warm rubber means good traction. No racer wants cold rubber under their frame.

    Thanks Gary, I'll have to try that - though my PS Skills aren't up to much yet.

    You're right, electric heaters keep the tyres up to a usable temperature.
    I posted a photo of a whole roomful of them, neatly tucked up in their nice electric blankets - while we were freezing outside.
    There's a particular smell to the F1 tyre bay, I found after a day at the track I still had it lingering in the beard !
