He's also savvy when it comes time to add in a bit more splash, as you can see on some of his other works shown at his website www.romanmiah.com. There you can buy a print or even original pieces at prices rather more affordable than filling your garage with the real thing. The 911 GT2 RS you see above sold for $175. A Bugatti Chiron...

Bridge to Gantry used the T13 corner to mark the starting point of the lap and claims to have seen the bright yellow car pass the same point less than seven minutes later. Mind you, automakers use an earlier point to mark the start of a lap and the GT2 RS...
