Default Formula 1
I've just spent a very enjoyable couple of days at the cicuit in Jerez, Spain, for the first testing session of the season.

No...it's the old car with the new engine, the new car comes on-line in a few weeks.
Orange is the traditional Maclaren colour.

Your colours are so vivid- what kind of camera/lens combo do you use? You're shots are exceptional.

They wont be orange for the races which is a relief. It wouldn't be too bad if it was a nice tangarine orange...

Here's another shot of a Macca. This is Gary Parffett, the German Touring Car champion, leaving the pits.

I think the orange McLaren looks sweet. maybe not that particular tone of orange though. F1 needs an orange team after Arrows demise.

WOW…Those are excellent shots I particularly like the De La Rosa picture in the Maclaren, how did the V6 cars sound compared to the V10’s.

What camera and lenses did you use for those.
