Great shots! Had a blast out there, even with the Friday rain and the Sunday sunburn!

thanks

yes, it was an amazing weekend...im glad it rained like it did...i believe it made for dramatic photos...shooting cars in bright sunlight isnt always that spectacular...the rooster tails were awesome, some of them close to 20ft high

as always, COTA is the cat's meow...ill be back again in November for my 2nd trip to F1 @ COTA (thinking of renting some serious equipment...1dx/600f4 IS maybe)

very nice work! The weekend weather was great, a little of everything.

Did you have track access?

Great images, I don't know if I'll ever get used to that Delta Wing...:p

lol, yeah that thing is something different...i think if it was a more competitive vehicle, people might gravitate toward it more...but for now, it seems to be in the middle of the pack as far as performance goes...i sure enjoyed photographing it during friday practice with the dark skies & wet track...made for good headlight reflections

Nice shots! I really like #1. One of the best things about COTA is the great sight lines from the GA areas.

I really want to get a chance of shooting that R18... Wish they would race at the Petit Le Mans.

Very nice shots. Thanks for your advice on places to shoot from. Have posted some photo stories on my motorsport photography blog. Was a lot of fun to shoot in the wet, makes for some great photography opportunities. COTA is an impressive complex and track.

These were all taken with Canon 7D + Canon 300mm f4 IS + Canon 1.4xIII (420mm)

F1 is right around the corner, just waiting for them to mail out tickets...F1 was crazy last year, wondering how it will be the 2nd year around

great shots

nice work.

The Delta Wing is not associated with Nissan anymore BTW.

I wish the Audi's were going to be here for Petit tomorrow...I would have like to see them in person.
