Thank you Ingo,

I think I was lucky that I forgot to reset the ISO back to 100. I was shooting at ISO 200 with a shutter speed of 1/1250. This guy was really zipping trough the corner. It might have been blurred at 1/600. Might have been an interesting effect, though. Now you can't see the speed at all. Actually looks like this guy is parked ;-) Anyhow, this comp was about colour, not speed :-) Have a great weekend.

Smatty, Great composition and color. This looks like it could be a Pirelli or BF Goodrich print ad. I like it very much.

Thank you Kimberly,
I was lucky to catch this guy zooming by the Casino of Monaco (regular street that is also part of the Formula 1 GP Race Track). I guess it makes everyone step harder on the accelerator when you know you got a real race track underneath your tires ;-)
