yay! made my own podracer! 
made entirely in blender, from modeling, texxing (most is procedural, yay!) to compositing. Except for the very light smoke effects I added later in Photoshop.
hop you like it, I’ll probably make a second version, but first I gotta leave this thing for a week or two, got too used to it to see mistakes -.-. Feedback welcome!
Looks really great! Awesome render and comp!
1 tiny thing that bothers me is maybe consider adding Speedline/motion blur (http://www.listofimages.com/wallpapers/2012/01/ferrari-concept-race-car-track-vehicle-1050x1680.jpg) and maybe it also kicks up some dust? 
Reminds me of Star War Episode 1 Racer game, it is a very good game when I was very young.
Yeah I was thinking about that, is there a way to do that in blender? perhaps animate a few frames with the motion blur should do the trick. thanks 
Link the camera to the podracers so that the background gets the motion blur.
Superb. So how many hours in modelling?
The render has a really nice high-dynamic range look to it. Nice work.
wel I did it even simpler and just moved the floor but guess that with some more complicated environment your way might come in handy
I’d say about 15 hours of modeling and 8 hours of trial and error shading (in which I got frustrated bc blender suddenly deleted a painted on texture)
Very nice! I love Star Wars.
