Looks great!

Interesting angles. Have you considered putting it in another environment, or perhaps using an Image for the environment? I know that Hdri lighting feels like cheating, but it usually looks amazing on cars, especially without area lights.

Wish i could model like you :)

Best Wishes

I would use a higher FOV setting for the camera and some motion blur if possible (at least for the wheels), not very dynamic as it is now, you don't feel any speed.
Perhaps a bit dark too and the scale is too low ?

Wow great spotted. Definately looks like the scale is too low. Did you do the blur in post?

yeah, great models and scene
I agree DoF (or post blur) makes them seem miniature toy cars, specially in the second image

Yeap, it looks great, althou I have to agree, at first I thought it was an scalextric model.

its not the dof :)

its becouse cars are too big , or the road its too narrow... something is wrong with the proportions / road-to-cars /

Part of the issue is the size of the texture on the road and barriers.

I also think part of it is the scale of the scene ( I'm betting it's not correct, because I think the light would behave differently ).
