10. Pflanzgarten during qualifying for the 24 Hours of the Nürburgring: guaranteed airtime.
9. After a tumultuous qualifying day at Indy, with a massive airborne crash for Ed Carpenter in practice and the resulting changes to the cars, Scott Dixon came out on top with Penske duo Power and Pagenaud on the front row. Here, the traditional post-qualifying photoshoot.
8. Jorge Lorenzo jumps in celebration after winning the French GP at Le Mans.
7. A classic shot: Brünnchen with its writing, kerbs and bricks.
