Description The SpeedSource Mazda RX-8 decelerates into Turn 10, unspent fuel igniting from its tail.

Backfires are visible for a split-second. It took some time (and many frames) to capture the elusive flame.

Thanks for the feature, Rocksana. I was hoping you'd get yourself a hoodie but it looks like you spent your points well. Merry Christmas!

Oh my gosh... one of my favorite modern cars ever (long live the rotary!), in an awesome racing shot, perfectly panned, with backfire flames.

This is without a doubt my favorite picture of yours. THANK YOU FOR CAPTURING IT!

I don't know how to tell you this but if you like RX-8s, this is just the tip of the iceberg. There's more to come.

I bet! I Went to the WTCC race at Sonoma earlier this year and I tried really hard to get a shot like this and couldn't do it. I was pretty bummed.

I was at the WTCC too . . . But I'm so far behind in working my NEF files it might be Christmas before I get to posting images from that event.
