The aim was to recreate an image like one taken with a DSLR camera by using techniques mirroring those of professional motorsport photographers.

The hero, a detailed model of a Porsche 963 LMDh, was placed in a very simple race track scene, lit with an HDR dome and several point lights, then rigged and animated across a small length of track.

The camera was positioned by guessing a typical real-world track-side location and rigged to track the car in a similar fashion to a hand-held pan.

Focal length, Aperture, and ISO were also adjusted to emulate typical real-world settings.

For the final render, minimal post work was applied to emulate the characteristics of a typical camera image signal processor and colour interpolation: small amounts of lens separation, grain, and unsharp mask.
