 * Comment Seems to be of pretty fair quality overall. Slight noise throughout, but not enough to warrant an Oppose. It may just be me, but the encyclopaedic value seems rather low... While it does contribute to the above articles, it would be nice to see the picture appear in other articles as well, as this would greatly increase it's value overall.

 * Dusty, I have included the photo in some additional pages, (see above) per your suggestion. -- talk→  WPPilot   21:31, 16 July 2014 (UTC)
 * Support Per enhanced encyclopaedic value. (Is a pretty cool picture actually) Dusty 777 18:37, 17 July 2014 (UTC)


 * Very well composed, but do I see compression artefacts or discolourations on the car itself? — Crisco 1492 (talk) 08:59, 16 July 2014 (UTC)
 * Thank you, Crisco, yes that is the discoloration you see on the hood, that track is dirty and the cars, every one of them are beat up and thrashed, after racing on that track as it is one of only 2 road tracks that these cars race upon. The hood also has plates that are riveted into it, that may look out of place close up. talk→  WPPilot   17:16, 16 July 2014 (UTC)
 * Hmm... well, I guess it's possible that those specks are dirt. Support barring arguments otherwise. — Crisco 1492 (talk) 01:38, 17 July 2014 (UTC)
 * A note: I've uploaded a new version of the file after running the original JPG through Noise Ninja. The specks are much less pronounced, so I think it works better, but feel free to revert if you disagree (you may have to purge your cache). — Crisco 1492 (talk) 01:44, 17 July 2014 (UTC)
 * @ Crisco, np: thanks! talk→   WPPilot   03:13, 17 July 2014 (UTC)
