Sweet pix. Really captured the speed there.

Really wondering how you could race some of these with a clear conscience.

Good pics. I still think cars are getting way too fast I predict another big accident this season probably in the saloons or the GTs.

Cheers mate, thought you might like em! The red fiesta (Car number 15) in the other set is a certain Chris Oakman (bmwfree from finity) in his first ever race. He didn't crash, although not sure where he finished, and was able to drive the car home which was his aim for the day.

Fantastic images - good clarity and they really give a sensation of the speed. Also a great collection of cars (the sunbeam looks wild) with some tasty dubs too!

What camera/lens setup did you use?

Cheers mate :-)

I used a Canon Eos 400D with Sigma 55 - 200mm lens with a Hoya UV filter. My first time using it for action shots and I'm reasonably happy with the results as the lighting was a nightmare especially towards the end of the day when the light was fading fast. I should also have got off my bum and moved round the circuit a bit for some different shots. My excuse was it was cold and I was stood close to the food/tea vans!

His car colours are the negative of the colour scheme we use on ours...
