Number is a winner in my eyes :woot: :thumbs:

Some of the others look lovely and crisp but give no impression of speed and could be parked cars :shrug: (this is were i have been caught out in the past too) :(

Would love to see more :thumbs: :D

Yeah I dont have any 67mm nd filters to fit the 70-200 so I was stuck with only being able to get shots with motion in them on the 17-40 which severly limits you as I try not to go over f11 to keep the image really sharp. I do have some others with more motion.

Good shooting there. Some very good clean images of the drivers. I never knew that Gronholms navigator was a pigmy :lol:

hes not that small in real life, however the co driver is just balast at the end of the day so the lower the better, from the passenger seat of that car (well its sister car BMY anyway) you can only just see over the bonnet.

Rally Ireland should be quite good, its based near here. They service about 2miles away from my house. Although the 2 test events they ran havnt been up to the standard of the top few International rallys. Most Irish people would of prefered just to run the WRC as extra cars entered into the Donegal International as opposed to an entire new event ran by the MSA.

I was looking to get shots of the drivers as the light was perfect for those with the low lying sun.

Some quality shots there, i've tried to photograph the BTCC in the past and know how hard it is to catch moving cars.

The number of times i've asked for a press pass so i could get shots without a fence/people in the way and been told no way.

Well done.

Some excellent shots, i'm loving no.5, has a great atmosphere, and that black evo in no.10 is yummy :love:

No.11 is also very good, but then again i'm a big mini fan. I just had to edit though...it was screaming it :lol:

Thanks! I had undersaturated all the colours except the red of the mini which I returned to their previous vibrance. Your edit looks cool although I generally am not much of a fan of total desaturation with selective saturation.
