Nice shots. I really like #4 and #7!

[RadAL]

wish there was more variety.... than mostly side shots.

Good detail on the cars, but the motion blur of the background seems a bit distracting. Using a tripod and waiting for the car to cross the set area should get rid of this effect unless it was what you were going for :P

Morning Jim,
Personally,I think you have done really well,and the sharp cars but blurred background is a great for me.
It could be web compression ,but are a few a tad over sharpened ?
The lack of annoying yellow jacketed marshalls and speccies is a real bonus ,giving you great backgrounds in good light (thats a bonus too in forests).
The old mk 2s are great ,thanks.
Your man Adrian H is a nutter ,and the car super powerful
Have you seen his video on u tube ,and him singing ? At least I think it's him singing!Classic!
Regards,
Pons

Thanks Zapins, I was hand held and panning which is the norm for me at rally.

Thanks Chris, the sharpening is my normal USM 3.1.120. No marshals is a bonus;)
A Hetherington is a nutter alright, but he can handle a mkII, off to Spain this morning see you in a week:lol::lol:
