Thanks, thie historic event is great, I went to it at Donington last year. Panning at 1/25 with the 150-600mm wasn't easyI'm a regualr at Silverstone and usually concentrate on panning shots from the various grandstands. At last year's Historic Festival I decided to try something a little different and switched from AF Servo to manual focussing part way through the day. 500 shots from Becketts (historic F1 cars) and a similar number from the F1 Paddock grandstand (Group Cs). Results were generally OK. My main issue was not with focus but caused by shutter speeds of 1/30 and below! I do agree though that for most "head on" shots I wouldn't bother with MF.
