Best Vintage Car Racing Photo of 2010

Sports Car Digest covered more than 60 vintage car races in 2010, starting with the Phillip Island Classic in Australia and ending with the 1000 Millas Sport in Argentina. Our photographers lugged around multiple cameras and lens, taking tens of thousands of pictures along the way, all in an effort to impress readers with the perfect shot.
Similar to our Best Vintage Car Racing Photo of 2009 contest, we need your help to choose the best vintage car racing photo from 2010. We narrowed down the thousands of photographs to the following 40 images, chosen solely upon the number of times they were viewed by readers throughout the year.
Please vote by leaving a comment with your favorite image. Write-in candidates: if we didn’t include your favorite picture, share a link of what you think was best. We’ll announce the winner in the January 27th edition of our newsletter.
Win Massive Prizes: We are spicing things up this year, as we will randomly choose THREE winners among the comments that will receive a large print of their favorite photo, plus an extremely rare Sports Car Digest hat. Be sure to include your email address in the comment form so we can reach you.
