Oh hey my screenshot made it into the magazine. Kinda sad seeing the DNF next to my name but I guess the good comes with the bad (or something along those lines)
Well, I hope I don't end up the same way for this one. I'll try my best not to fly off the road
Usually we choose 70-90 screenshots from the Rally World/Rally Event thread that is included in the "possible to use", then a further 10-20 from Richard Burns Rally (the RDRC Evolution/RDRC History articles).
Then from those, the screenshots are selected. It's a bigger chance to be included if there are RDRC-banners/numbers on the car, but that's not anything that's required
It helps if you don't have a watermark/timing in an area of the screenshot that's great though.
An example is this from
@Roland
For me, this screenshot "screams" a slightly soft setup on the car, and a driver that have the throttle planted to the floor, and then some more. But at the same time, to be able to get that "feeling" through the picture in the magazine, we need to use more than just the car, and Roland had the stage-time on the upper left there. So that screenshot wasn't included in the original "possible to use".
EDIT: Of course, if this had been the only shot that Roland had shared, it would've been included, but he shared so many that we could be picky
We do try to feature as many different drivers, liveries and cars as possible though
Not at least helped by the "Rally World" section at the end of each mag.
