It is that time of the year again. The time when we look back at the season and browse through all the millions of pictures taken during the events, and select the 30 best. Pictures that have that extra touch or that extra something that makes it stand out from the rest. A tradition since a few years back. Today we give you places 21 to 30. Even better images to follow in a few days.
Oh, and while we're at it - we wish you a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!

30. We need more yellow cars. And this picture shows you exaclty how stunning the Ferrari 458 is in yellow. Also, what makes this image so great is the excellent shading on the bottom part of the car. This line, which goes from the front wheel and extends backwards and upwards with its peak just behind the door, adds a lot of drama to the car. It makes the car looks agile, just like a bodybuilder holding his breath when posing for a camera. It also makes this Ferrari 458 look like a Ferrari Enzo.
29. Thanks to Ferrari Katowice, the Ferrari 488 GTB made its debut on Gran Turismo Expo during Gran Turismo Polonia. The car was sold barely minutes after the cover was removed. So were many other cars in the Expo tent this day.
28. I have never seen any other picture so closely capturing the feeling in Gran Turismo Nurburgring. The track is twisting through the landscape. Like a giant snake. On track we see a single car. Just one. Just you and the next corner. No other traffic in sight. The way it should be.
27. You can't seriously add a picture of a barbeque to this list? (said Artur). Oh yes I can. Because the catering on Tor Poznan is legendary. It is just amazing. I have not had any better food at any other track in the world. The food at Spa-Francorchamps comes close. But it is impossible to beat the food in Poland.
26. Participants of Gran Turismo Europa preparing to land outside Grand Hotel Jungfrau in Interlaken, Switzerland. For the 2015 edition of this trip, the bravest drivers went uphill and did a hangglide tour of the valley before landing like James Bond just outside our hotel.
25. Darling, did you just buy an helicopter? Looks like Andy and Paulina are discussing what color they should get their new chopper in. Picture taken during Gran Turismo Expo in Poland.
24. Very dynamic picture from Slovakia Ring during Gran Turismo Slovakia. What makes this image so great is the sense of speed. This is achieved by letting the rear wheel be slightly out of focus. Nice one!
23. Good parking skills just outside Andersia Hotel in Poznan. All cars parked with the rear in, just like we said during the briefing. The slightly evil vantage point behind the white Ferrari 458 adds drama. Oh, and by the way - there were 52 Ferrari 458's on Gran Turismo Polonia 2015. Every color combination was represented. That is an insane number.
22. Auto24Ring in Pärnu, Estonia. A favorite track for many of us. There are some 40 super cars in this image. And there are at least 25 more in the pit lane. Gran Turismo Baltica has become a very popular event for scandinavians. The event for 2016 is almost fully booked already.
21. A cold beer in the bar with your friends after a great day on Spa-Francorchamps. Image capturing the moment perfectly. It is an excellent image from many perspectives.
