You did good, I would maybe try and brighten a couple of them up if you have PS or similar but you have sussed the panning well, good blur on the wheels but maintaining sharpness in the rider and bike, guess you went with the manualish settings ?

A few are a bit soft, and you could probably benefit from some better locations, but good otherwise.

I will post some more in a bit from other locations. My aim was to have good backgrounds that arent to busy. Thanks for the comment.

Yeah the backgrounds are a thing to watch, some have loads of parked cars in them, others bright orange marshals in huts! Don't take it the wrong way though, we've all done it while learning.

the bike in number 8 sounds amazing because my dad made the exhaust pipes.
Rider is John Cronshaw. Top bloke and top ride. I bet he won the race too.

Personally id have waited until they directly infront of me to gain a side on shot as theres no real lean on the bikes, i think the angle you have got, works better when the bikes are mid bend or on exit.

But they tech good, good paining etc,
