SURE Event Banner

This is the banner that appeared at the top of our SURE event poster board. I wanted to capture an aspect of each of the categories, and give the banner an overall sleek look.

Art and Design: Nurburgring Nordschleife Track Art -

The Nurburgring Nordschleife is a legendary 16 mile, 90 corner race course in the Eifel forests of Germany. It is frequently used by auto manufacturers to test their road vehicles. Besides being known as the "Green Hell" for its extreme difficulty, it is also covered in graffiti.

This is the textual content I have provided in the Motorsports section.

Formula 1:

The "formula" in Formula 1 refers to a set of rules that all participants must adhere to. The first world championship race was held in 1950 at Silverstone in England. Formula 1 is often regarded as the top level of motor racing, and many strive to one day become a driver in this prestigious series. The Formula 1 teams race on tracks in North America, South America, Europe, and Asia. Popular race tracks traveled to are the Monaco Street Circuit in the Principality of Monaco, and Suzuka Raceway in Japan. Many will also be able to recognize the vibrant red of the Team Ferrari, which is a fan favorite at any race on the calendar.

NASCAR:

NASCAR's roots can be traced to the years immediately after WWII, when a few daring southerners carrying moonshine would use their modified stock cars to outrun cops. This eventually led to small races amongst various groups. These races started to take place on race tracks, and the crowds began to grow. Organization was lacking, and something had to be done about it. In 1947, the NASCAR (National Association of Stock Car Auto Racing) organization was formed. On February 15, 1948, the first NASCAR-sanctioned race was held on Daytona Beach, FL. This beach course eventually evolved into the 2.5 mile long tri-oval known as Daytona International Speedway. The largest race of the season, the Daytona 500, is held at this circuit every year. NASCAR is known for it's races on oval tracks across the continent of North America, primarily in the United States.

World Rally Championship:

Taking place over surfaces such as packed ice, smooth asphalt, and rocky tracks, the World Rally Championship, or WRC, is one often regarded as the toughest form of motorsport competition in the world. The current format of these races has been the same since 1973. Each rally consists of 15-25 'special stages' which are held on closed roads. Drivers race down these roads one-by-one as fast as they can, each aiming to post the quickest time. During these stages, the driver is aided by a co-driver that reads pace notes to inform the driver of what is ahead. WRC events are held around the world, spanning thirteen different countries.
