Great shots, Roo!
Can't wait to see these new cars in person in Austin
How much passing, or lack of passing, was there from the grandstands?
I have mixed feelings about the new rules package. Yes, the cars finally look like race cars again, and are downright gorgeous compared to the aesthetic monstrosities of the '09-'16 cars. On the other hand, I fear that the increase in grip and downforce will make for boring racing.
The irony of the '09-'16 ugly era of F1 is that as the cars became more hideous, the reduction in downforce and tire width - as well as the introduction of DRS and different tire compounds - vastly increased passing and improved wheel-to-wheel racing.
Nevertheless, the pace of the red cars was downright shocking. Forza Ferrari ;D

Thanks very much V8 and Click!
I'll reserve judgement for another couple of rounds as Melbourne has never been one of the great passing tracks. Hamilton not being able to get past Verstappen on old tyres was reasonably concerning though. The cars are better looking, though I'm no fan of the proboscis that some cars are still carrying, and they are much faster in the flesh through corners.
I tried shooting from a couple of different locations this year for a change - I'll post up the results in the next day or so. The good things about one of the locations is the sun doesn't hit the catch fencing as much so it doesn't affect the shots as badly.

Expect nothing, and you will never be disappointed
Roo and Graham,
Beautiful shots guys! Your panning techniques are very much respected and appreciated. If you have more examples, please post them. It is always great to see unique motorsport photos. Roo, Pirelli is probably not very happy about not being able to read their labeling on the sidewalls of their tires.

Great series of photos again Roo. Surprised the Honda is going fast enough to blur the Pirelli logo ;D
Got many BTCC photos of both testing and the racing from this weekend to go through and post, been playing around with 1/10th shutter speeds, very poor keeper rate as you would imagine!

Hi Folks.
Thanks dhr, Roo and GeoffN appreciate the support from you guys.
Roo, I think the Toro Rosso probably flat spotted his tyre a bit more than my shot of the Mustang, at least his wheel was still turning some!
Cheers, Graham.

Pretty crappy shot, badly framed etc but it was the way they appeared to be talking on the way round on the trailer.
Cheers, Graham.

Hi Folks.
Some more cars from Goodwood. Somehow whilst fiddling with the video settings I managed to switch from RAW+MJPEG to ?JPEG+?JPEG file sizes! D'oh. :
This one looks somewhat truncated compared to the rest of the pack. TVR I think.

Not sure what this driver had against daffodils!

Golf GTI MKI, running on Lucas mechanical injection like my car (Triumph 2.5PI) uses because the Bosch KJetronic system doesn't play nice with bumpy cams!

Some of the old sponsorship brings back memories!

Hi Folks.
Last lot here for a while, including some of my favourites, discs and flames! Also after the accidental switch to JPEG.
Oops.

Hi Roo.
Thank you.
Not a bad shot for 1/10th, have you thought of putting anything like this on the intentional camera movement thread? http://www.canonrumors.com/forum/index.php?topic=31228.0
I reverse panned a couple of shots just for kicks and giggles, see them there.
I think the slowest I got was 1/20th, I may have kept 1 or 2 from 50 or more shots, not a great return on investment!
I keep seeing the 1/10th mentioned but I think I missed the origin! ???
Cheers, Graham.

Graham,
Your great photos (more fantastic panning shots) of the 2-stroke Yamaha TZ250's bring back some of my favorite memories of GP racing in the 70's and 80's. The Honda is also a very special sight. The sights, sounds and smell of Castor Bean oil pre-mix at Laguna Seca, Sears Point, Riverside & the Daytona 200 with several future World Champions. It's great to see current photos of such relatively low tech (by modern standards) racing machines. Again, excellent panning in your photos with beautiful back grounds at Goodwood. Thank you for posting.
