Of course it was, Sir!
I feel deprived that I cannot watch Top Gear anymore in Germany. Jeremy is an opinionated big boy, but he well knows that and that's what makes it so funny to me...
That's my excuse for my unashamed attack on you anyway.
Mea culpa

And which part of that can you not achieve today with digital and post processing:

What's the brief for the competition? Who is judging it on what criteria?
Whithout knowing that it is hard to give advice.
Looking at the histogram both highlights and shadows are clipped. The details in the motor block are almost all gone. If you have boosted contrast on this shot then think again if that really is the best way of processing.
On the plus side, you picked a good moment with the front wheel up. A bit more blur (i.e. longer shutter speed while panning) would have given the shot an even more dynamic air but I think it shows quite a bit of dynamics as it is.
Hope that helps,

All the best for the newly weds! It's hardly possible to top Gwyn's wishes and I therefore wish you the same.

I did try it out once (see this thread) but didn't get round to do the 'scientific' test. So that one was only giving an indication.
I almost always leave D-range turned on.

I do not concur, though with the assessment that you can do the same thing in a RAW converter or PS. Once the highlights are burned irrecoverably the RAW converter cannot do anything about it.
If you look at my examples in the other thread I referred to, you can see that even for a +2.5 EV shot I was able to recover almost all of the highlights. So it's doing a bit more.
But then, you tried to simplify...
