You got some fantastic stuff there! I'd ramble off my favorites but I'm lazy and don't want to copunt to give pic numbers.:D I think you captured some great actions shots as well as atmosphere shots. I really got a feel of what it must of been like to be there. I could actually feel the excitement and hear the engines in my head. Very well done!

Great stuff Gusthumb You got some really good shots of the action! I'd love to do some motorsport shooting, but I'm always worried about getting too caught up in the race to take the pictures (I can be a little bit fanatical, especially when it comes to F1:giggle). Looks like you handled the 400mm pretty well! I love your pit lane shots. You picked a good race to go to, although, as an HRT fan I was disappoited to see Rick Kelly on 3rd....But well done mate you did great! Loved your shots!

Looks like you had a great time Gus. Really awesome series, I especially like the turbo afterburner pics, the crash pics, the girlie butt pics, the ...

Great series gus. Better than most published magazines racing pics.

I am confused tho - these are v8s - 600+ horsepower. But in your first posts the displacement was listed as 1.2 liters, I think - Am I mistaken or what??
