Great job mate, did you try any slower shutter speeds?

Only CC I could give is to give a couple of them a cropp to even up the composition, but your technique is perfect. Did you use the IS or a monopod?

Quick question reguarding the 100-400, is it this sharp at 400mm?

Cheers

399 looks more like VW to me. Its not Lancia.

andrewc - you could be right, could it be a Mk I Scirocco ?

First I tired to go on slower Shutter Speeds,i used 1/80 - 1/125 but i had the following Problem some Body Parts like the Drivers Door were Sharp whilst either the Motor hood,Front or Heck Diffusors showed in my opinion so much "Motion Blur"that i deleted the Pics as a whole.
I used the IS and every pic is handheld and my "user Error"during panning caused enough bad Pics.
Some Stats, i was first at the Track around 06:00 am,since it was me first time on that Track i went Scouting for the best spot with the Sun in my Back,till i left around 18:00 pm i had taken around 3600 frames (77GB),from those i have deleted around 600 due to the Motion blur mentioned above.I think i made the best possible compromise with 1/160 s to get the desired Shots,it could always be better :)

My Copy ist Sharp all the way through

Nice work, any more of the 2 opels?
Sure thing that i have some other Pics of the 2 Opels,Now you can see the Opels from the Left :)
