The shot tilts down. That causes us to naturally follow right. With the main subject left, this composition actually is pretty good at leading us to read the image left to right.
The motion blur of the guardrail and its alignment with the car bumper enhances this left to right motion, and also gives the impression of speed (good for a sports car). The blurred sign to the right reinforces that.
This is where the lightpost causes problems. It is not sufficiently motion blurred, and detracts from the image of speed and the eye translation.
The other thing that the image is lacking is color - it is mostly grays with some green (much of that buried in shadow). I would either look at pumping up saturation (though I generally avoid that) or I'd go B&W (my preference) and increase contrast and definition a bit.

I agree with the light post, but my eye sticks firmly on the car.
Your pictures, in contrast, are extremely interesting in a compositional sense, and almost subconsciously force the eye to take in every square inch of your photos.
Great job by you.
