Some shots I made last weekend at the Gamma Racing Days in Assen, the Netherlands that I'd like to share. It was the first time using my brand new Sigma 150-600 Sports on my 5DMkIII. I luckily found a good new spot on a remote location of the track that gave good results with the strong sunlight - I'm always battling back-light at this track ::)

These are all from Race 1 of the BOSS GP.

"BOSS GP, the fastest race series in Europe and one of the most spectacular series in the international motorsport world. Brute race monsters from the Formula 1 go head to head against GP2, IndyCar, World Series by Renault and other powerful, fast and noisy Formula cars. This series is built on speed, spectacle and noise and will be a true paradise for the drivers as well for the motor sport fans" - bossgp.com

Thank you for your kind comments. To add to the diversity (and your entertainment), here's a few from an event (mayhem is a better word) I had the pleasure of running into, rather unexpectedly I might add. These were shot using my Sony α6000 and 55-210 OSS which I had with me at the time.

No.27 Nissan R91CK (1991) (Nova Engineering) Silverstone Classics 2016 by Tom Scott, on Flickr

Nissan R91CK Nova Engineering

Highlight of shooting Silverstone Classic this year, one of my favourite events the Group C! Late on the Saturday night it's a twilight event. The noise and drama is out of this world with red hot discs and exhaust fire... Does it get better? The Forma Nissan chasing the incredible Jaguar XJR14 Silk Cut Purple

Hi Tom.
Great shot, nice panning, what shutter speed did you use?

Hi Roo.
Thank goodness, I thought I was the only one who looked at shots like this and assessed the brake bias before the general composition! ;D

Cheers, Graham.

When I started this thread, I wondered how long it would take to bring out all the true petrol heads, so we’re on page 26 and here you all are ;D

Hi Roo.
You know what I meant ::) smart Alec. :o ;D I analysed the car before analysing picture but I guess technically you are correct. ;D

Hi Stewart.
I'm sorry, I thought I made it quite clear from the start that I was a gearhead. Does this mean I'm not allowed here or should it be gearheads only. ;D
Edit, I just took a couple of iPad shots, I'm sat at my upstairs workbench having lunch and this is what surrounds me, two gearboxes in bits and most of an overdrive unit I'm rebuilding! Is that enough gears? ;D ;D ;D ;D
Cheers, Graham.
Ps just in case it is lost in translation, Roo I'm only joking.

N0. 78 1965 2.0 Porsche 911 Classic GT Cars (pre '66) Silverstone Classics 2016 by Tom Scott, on Flickr

1965 2.0 Porsche 911 Classic GT Cars (pre '66)

Heres another from Silverstone Classics 2016.

Nothing more thrilling than watching a 911 drifting through Abbey, the first bend at Silverstone Classic. Especially when your only a few feet away! One of my favourite cars of all time especially as the sun goes down in full attack mode! Fantastic race.
