Nice work. I do have some suggestions for improvement:
(having not seen the previous)

1. I feel most of the shots are a bit underexposed. I wouldn't push too far in processing for this unless you shot raw. Otherwise maybe shoot a little hotter at the event. I think this will give you better results before needing to resort to levels adjustments. Especially for shadow areas and color saturation.

2. Composition. Your panning is good, but the composition is too static. To get images to pop, you will additionally need an exciting composition. I don't know if these are crops or not, but I would recommend shooting slightly wider and then cropping to an interesting composition. The center riders can get boring quick. Same goes with cars, or any other kind of panning. (if it moves, ive tried to pan it!)

You have the panning down, so the rest is just stuff that can usually be adjusted in post processing. You are on a good road to awesome shots though!

hey thanks for the suggestions, they will come in handy, do you have any examples of different compositions for me? that is something that i really struggle with, not only with motorsports but nature and stuff as well, i just dont seem to be creative enough or something, or perhaps just a lack of experience, but im still not sure that its something i can learn lol

Look into some of the classical composition techniques. Rule of thirds, Golden mean, leading lines, etc... There are endless amounts of books and resources online about this.

Go to that link and see the first three books. Understanding exposure, Shutter Speed, and Learning to see creatively. They are great and give really good examples with the settings used and why. Probably some of the best material out there.

Exposure is the first issue for a lot of people. The better the exposure, the lest is needed later, or the easier it is to make something "pop." As for composition, this is just taking more pictures, and actively thinking about this until it becomes second nature. I highly recommend http://www.tmelive.com​/ .
That used to be the Radiant Vista, but they just redid the site. Fantastic step by step videos and critique about images and their improvement based on color theory, composition, exposure, etc.... I highly recommend it. Hopefully they will get the backlog of Radiant Vista videos back up. They were awesome.
