There are a couple of things that I really like about this photo. One is the strong diagonal structure that is created between the white line and the red vehicle. That makes a nice balance, I think. The red also provides a focal point in a critical part of the frame. The other is the streaks on the pavement. Again, that adds to the movement feeling of it, and says "speed" to me.
One thing that would have made it even more effective, I think, though the risk is probably not worth it (okay, the risk is definitely not worth it, but if you ever decide you want a new camera, you could try it to get rid of this one!) is to have the camera even lower so that it looks like you are looking forward instead of down. That crazy idea aside, I have to agree with a couple of others about not having a clean car. Of course, I understand that you weren't exactly planning this shot, and heaven knows yours is far cleaner than mine, but those things are painfully noticeable in shots like this.
Also, and I don't know if it would make any difference or not, perhaps a bit more contrast to give it a touch of "punch" might help.
If you have any questions or comments, please PM me! Nice work, and best wishes in future challenges.
