Nice shots. I agree that its almost impossible to find nice background in place
like that. Did you try slow shutter speed to blur the BG?
Good timing on #5 Not too far from flipping over :D

These are great even with the poor back grounds, really like the Mk II escort.

Beautiful selection of action shots there, to be honest I was immediately drawn to the cars esp. the fabulous Ferrari so the the background wasn't an issue, neat work !

Not any comments or advices :rolleyes:

[Semmonka]

I dont know about the advice but I like the shots.
Isnt that last little bit illegal? I thought they should drive using cars own engine :D

[Lenswork]

Very nice set and tack sharp. You've captured the sense of speed well. Except for the fork truck shot:lol:
Seems you had good light that day, brings the colours out.

hehe that last pic is great.

love the photos, but not a fan of the ones where only the back end is showing going into a turn.

Personally, I think the backgrounds are ok. Street course feel. Only thing I don't like is #2 with its head missing, makes it look you missed the timing (Compare with the Ferrari at the same bend) and the people in the background of #3. Tho I love the flying gravel on that shot.

You can push it across the finish line....or fork lift it! :lol:
