- Reason
- Current FPC on Commons, but I thought it deserved a nomination here, too. Great action shot, very dynamic, very high quality, very eye-catching. Unusual subject matter for FPC, but still solid EV, with usage in some very high profile/high importance articles. Caption nabbed from the image page. I'm not certain on where the highest EV is, so opinions on that would be good.

- Weak support Cool action shot, I'm glad I'm not the one who took it, looks like they got kind of close there. DOF and shutter speed are impressive, but I wasn't convinced the image really had a purpose until I saw the Ford Focus WRC article. But WS because it's a little bland in the sky and BG and Greg L has beaten it into my brain that currently FPs automatically become POTDs and I think if I saw this in a POTD box on a userpage I'd be slightly off-put by that. --I'ḏ♥One 15:30, 8 August 2010 (UTC)
- Weak support per FF4C52. It's not a clear enough shot of the car to have serious EV in displaying the car, but it doesn't really show enough of the race (IMO) to have serious EV for the race (that could be that car on effectively any dirt turn as far as I can see).

- Weak oppose Per reasoning of Staxringold. Greg L (talk) 19:51, 8 August 2010 (UTC)
- Support This image is really striking and a very good picture. I disagree on the lack of EV, this represents the rally's especially well. It's the best picture on the pages that it's on, and I can't think of a better way to accurately represent these, especially the Ford Focus WRC article. JFitch (talk) 23:22, 8 August 2010 (UTC)
- Support. Nice action shot. I agree that we should get some more cars featured. Papa Lima Whiskey (talk) 01:26, 9 August 2010 (UTC)
- Support great photo, but I am worried about the photographer's toes.--TonyTheTiger (T/C/BIO/WP:CHICAGO/WP:FOUR) 23:29, 11 August 2010 (UTC)
- Support, there was still room between me and the car (~ 1 metre)...
