Thanks for your reply. Of course, high-end lens was used. This is only a sample .jpg.

Extreme wide angle lenses that would have been required in this situation tend to distort at the edges and would have made the cars and drivers on the outside very small and indistinguishable (read undesirable). This is not a typical "landscape" shot. We needed to see detail in the faces and you can recognize everyone in the photo on the high-res 300 DPI image suitable for printing, not the 72DPI which was attached for just a preview.
