Excellent set!

You have the entire (?) spectrum of Bugdom there. Looks like the guys in #3 are willing the cars to go faster :)

Nice timing on #7, always good to see air under the tires. What f-stop do you need to get the entire car in focus on #7?

The jet beetle is a display car so they run it up and down to show it off a bit before the full on run

nice set Julian by the way, do you need a press pass to get down there in front of the VIP bit at Santa Pod?

You going to be snapping at Bug Jam next weekend?

Thanks all, it was getting quite late in the day for that shot, it was F/5, 1/250 sec., ISO-500 ( 70-200 IS f2.8 )

Yes, you do need a press pass to get down there, and yes, I will be shooting at Bug Jam, I'm looking forward to it!

Great set. I really like #8.having owned a beetle as my very first car I have a particular soft spot for the old bugs. Seeing one rip down the track brings back memories of what I wished mine would do.

Great shots, I love the 2 VW Things racing and the buses. Nice work!
