    Canon 40D
    110mm, F5.6 1/125 ISO 250
    Resized with Irfanview, no further editing.

    For illustrative purposes I have added (hopefully with permission from the competition runner) the next shot in the sequence, according to the exiv data shot in the same second as this one. The impact of the flames on the picture is staggering, I was on shutter priority, and surprisingly the aperture went up to F9. Apparently the camera is already compensating for the backlight. For the shot before the flames, one second earlier, aperture is still 5.6 and there is no light in the background and there are no flames. The flames were created by burning off excess fuel as the car stalled on leaving. (It was the decisive pit stop 5 laps before the end of the race, and the car was lying second with a small advantage to the nr.3 car)
