First photo posts here i think :D
Heres a few of my shots from the final stage on saturday.
Hard to get a decent view without obstructions.
Admitedly i missed the focus in 8, but like it all the same lol, and got lucky with someone else providing some nice backlighting in #2 :D

Very nice shots, my favourite would number 5 as you can really feel the speed from the shot.

PS, Welcome to PI.
Some nice shots there. Having been at this stage i know how difficult it is to get these. Welcome to the site.
Welcome to the site. Did you use flash on a couple of these, maybe the last couple?? I have to say the timing of some of the shots is spot on, it really is perfect.
What lens are you using on these???Hello thanks for the welcome and kind comments :)
From what i can remember:
1-6 were taken with a Sigma 70-200 f2.8
7,8 with a (manual focus) Tamron 300mm f2.8
Final 2 were using a Canon 17-85is with a 550ex 1/8-1/4 pwr1-3+6-8 were at farily high ISO 800-1000 to get a decent shutter speed.
The others were at a lower ISO to allow me to drop the shutter and get a of panning blur. Think the bit of panning blur adds to sense of speed, but its not often i get a decent one lol.I know the shot i was trying to achieve with the flash (dark and heavily blurred background with the flash “Freezing” the car) but only got a few attempts before the stage was cancelled.
Any tips on how to get this sort of shot if you can imagine it?Was a good day out unfortunately it was the only stage i made it to and managed to pack all the camera gear, spare batteries etc and forgot my coat!!!
Got drenched in a hoodie lol! but worth it :D
