This is my first summer shooting any motorsports so you'll have to take it easy on me.

    I love the driver's face in the first one.rolleyes1.gif I can't say I've ever seen a car get on two wheels before, nice shot! The rest are good too.

    Not bad at all
    Aside from the obvious statement that (with the exception of #2) the back of a car (#6 mainly) never has the same impact as the frontal view, they all look pretty good to me.

    Well done

    Thanks guys.

    I actually shoot what the guys like to see.

    I've polled them with about 50 pictures like the ones above and they usually like the side/back corner shots. They must find themselves ugly. :)

    If I shoot an event where I don't know the people, I usually get a shot with their face in it.

    Usually is something like this unless I can get clean shots of them through the windshield:

    Sometimes the driver helps me out...

    I agree the pose for the first one is very funny, along with his passenger either being very bored and sleeping or scared of where they are going with their eyes closed rolleyes1.gif

    The on 2 wheels shot is awesome, and I can see why you won a competition with the rally shot. Fantastic shot!
