Now unfortunately the only motorsport event I'm able to make time for each year (this was my first since FoS 2016!) I had a brand new Fuji X-T2 and hired 100-400mm along for the ride. The X-T2 was a bit of a learning curve (having unpacked it the night before!) but worked really, really well.

I'm always looking for new angles, thankfully this year was one of the quieter ones so I could move around a bit. It's a fun challenge trying not to shoot the very standard looking FoS shot with straw bales.

Love that last one. I'd probably have dropped it slightly, but I love it!
 
Great set - was my first time this year and found shooting m43 of cars through people's heads "interesting"...

Maybe Thursday next year..
 
Thanks all, really enjoyed using the Fuji.

Very impressive, how do you rate the xf100-400? #10 is my favourite.

Very highly, quite surprised the first time I used it that AF is not far off the 50-140mm 2.8. I love it, the only thing I'd change is a bit of extra width, 100mm is quite long sometimes.
 
Number 2, explosive stuff. Nice.
 
There's some cracking motorsport threads recently and this is another. Love number 3, I have a soft spot for the Red 5 Williams.
