Yeah the driver has his front right tyre locked... if you look really closely you can see that he is turning slightly to the right already (next corner is a 90degree right) so the weight is transferred off the front right and thus that is the first one to lock. The car is still travelling at over 100kph at this point. The driver did not hit any walls, just went a bit wide at the apex of the corner.

Like many mentioned my major gripe was having the car too near the top of the frame. Cutting off the back of the car is intentional because the back end makes it look really girlie. In this picture it would've worked though because the rear wheel would've been spinning and you could've seen the smoke moving around it... next frame had both wheels but crap sharpness.... but these were the only two frames of a car with it's tyre properly locked after 3 days of shooting. I had lots of really cool panned shots but figured that the locked tyre adds a lot, and i think i was right.

For those wondering about the title - i had submitted a different pic originally and my slugish internet connection resulted in the title not being updated to reflect the current image.

Great picture and great title... shame you can't see the goalie though which would've added even more.

Too much blur everywhere imo, with the rider sharper could've been really effective.

Cool pan... just wish there was a bit more color in the background.

Needs a slightly slower shutter speed to get more motion blur.

No panning seems to be involved.

Not enough motion imo... seems like it is uniformly unsharp.
