I selected some pictures which I gave some additional post-processing, in an attempt to better reflect the ongoing atmosphere.  Tell me what you think.

#38 & #39 are impressive additions to the cars.

Thanks for sharing!

my favs are the "unmodified" pit shots in this overall great series

the modified ones are very good advertising or marketing style pics,
so I would ask you for one of these to sell parfume, cat food or life insurance.

In the history of reporting the race/training, I for myself prefer originals and would even
like to see not so perfect ones, means harsh light, strong shadows, etc.

Thanks to the two Thomas. Thanks for the input. I will have a look into my catalog if I can find some images which fulfill your requirements, because I find the idea interesting. 😎👍

The second-last image shows the tension and despair that is so much part of sport exceptionally well!

One I like a lot, the mechanic taking a break between two exhausting test runs:

Over the week-end it was dark & shitty weather; nobody at home.  My PP is probably just a reflection of the aforementioned.  Back to my personal style, which gives this. PP applied was making the background a bit more out of focus.

The second version is better than the first, but I liked the drop in saturation of the first one...

I prefer the more natural skin tones in the second.
