Great shot. The focusing on the first driver draws the eye. The only thing that I might change would be to make sure the car is all the way in the frame. Maybe getting closer to the ground would give the impression that you were on the track about to be run over. Again great shot.

I agree with Gonzo13 - great shot, too bad about the kart getting cropped.

Another thing you might want to try is some post processing: mask out the drivers and their karts, and desaturate the background a bit. This will remove the distracting yellow and blue pole, and make the image even stronger.

Great shot, I agree with the others about the croped cart, I don`t mind the back ground.
