Right, these two, out of 200+, I'm actually quite happy with! Both with XT1 and 18-135mm at f9. First is ~35mm at 1/60 and second is ~55mm at 1.80. Obviously had greater success getting sharp cars going quicker, but at the cost of less background blurring, so sod that
I have a lot with heads in the way which can't be helped in grandstand seating. The majority of those in focus are right at the end of the braking zone with the car half out of shot, which I think suggests I wasn't panning fast enough (or particularly accurately!) but my speed was about right for the corner entry, just not enough for the approach to the corner.
Any tips very welcome - this certainly won't be my last time bringing a camera when I watch some racing.
