love number 2, what a awsome shot, the darkness, water spray's etc :clap:

27's a good catch too, hover car, lol
 
Number 2 is great :clap:

Number 6 should've been forced to stand on the grid for race 3 :love: :naughty:

21-27 all fab (y)
 
fantastic set there, i assume you were working for one of the teams or something to get a media pass?

Great set of pics.

Although some, especially #15, #17 and #18 seem a little over saturated to me?

And #20 is a bit to bright?

:)

run through lightroom with the 'general punch' preset. Apart from that there has been a slight contrast tweak. The grid girls have had a bit more of a tweak but not a huge amount.
 
Like your style, all that rain and and then brighten it up with all those lovely ladies ;) Rest of the shots are damn good too ;)
 
Fantastic set Andrew, i think we need grid girls for mono now you have convinced me with those pics!!!

Oh and great pic in Track and Race car, just got my sponsor stickers on Neils car.

Cheers
