This is the moment two drivers raced on the M62 at 100mph, seconds before a father killed his three-year-old son in a horror crash after a tyre blew on his car.
Israr Muhammed from Batley, West Yorkshire, was competing against Adam Malloy on the motorway, which led to the death of Say Han Mohammed Ali.
They drove faster than 100mph before a 16-year-old tyre popped on Muhammed’s Honda Civic, which caused him to lose of the car and smash into trees.
The 41-year-old was arrested while Malloy, 29, fled the scene but was later detained by police.
The crash, close to the junction of the M18 on July 1, 2018, closed the motorway for seven hours.
Muhammed was found guilty of causing death by dangerous driving, two counts of causing serious injury by dangerous driving and causing death while uninsured.

Malloy, from Normanton, was found guilty of causing death by dangerous driving and two counts of causing serious injury by dangerous driving.
Both were jailed for four-and-a-half-years and disqualified from driving for six years and three months after a trial at Hull Crown Court last month.
Say was killed while his seven-year-old sister suffered life-changing facial injuries and their mother was in a coma for over a month with head and internal injuries.
Dashcam footage released by Humberside Police shows Malloy and Muhammed racing on the M62.
Muhammed’s Honda Civic is seen in the outside lane, closely followed by Malloy, who has the same type of car.
The vehicle filming the race is driving in the middle lane at speeds of 88mph and is very quickly overtaken by the other two.
At one point during the 16-second clip, Malloy’s car can be seen to be less than ten metres away from Muhammed’s before they speed out of view.

Hull Crown Court heard soon after the 16-year-old tyre on Muhammed’s car blew out and the vehicle crashed.
Judge David Tremberg said: ‘This competitive driving started someway back before it was captured on dashcam footage.
‘You, Israr Muhammed, had safe choices you could have made. Nobody forced you to exceed the speed limit, or stay, pigheadedly in the outside lane of the motorway as the middle lane was clear for a long stretch.
‘The rules of the road are there for a reason. Each of you is culpable for creating an obvious, foreseeable and avoidable risk and dangers to yourselves and other road users.’
He added: ‘This young boy was entirely blameless and had his whole life ahead of him.’

Muhammed’s wife said in an emotional victim statement: ‘We have three children. One is 10, one is 13 and Say who died as a result of the terrible accident.
‘I am still grieving and sometimes wake up thinking he is still here. I smell his clothes and look at his shoes. I still can’t believe he has gone.
‘Our daughter has been badly affected. I know she goes to bed and cries and writes notes to her brother.
‘Our son was a very happy little boy but somehow seems more aggressive. He talks about his little brother.’
