Can't wait for Melbourne again, can't come soon enough for me. Should be nice to see the new cars with their aggressive looking features. 4-6 seconds quicker this year so will have to be very vigilant when they come round not to miss them
. Good thing I bought a new toy perhaps 
As for Mclaren, it would be good to see them back in the running again. Would be nice if Red Bull, Mclaren, Ferrari and Mercedes were a lot closer together. 4 top teams all in the running for top step would be a great season to watch.

Same here - same seats in the Prost stand again. March will be huge though with Avalon at the beginning of the month too. What new toy have you added?

yeah same for me and my partner. We are in the Piquet stand (turn 3). Good for when it's hot and raining, we have an under cover spot to go to.
As for the new toys, we have purchased a GoPro Hero5 and a 1DX Mark II to go along with it. The Mrs wanted the 1DX so i guess I just had to get another one
Quite a few changes happening in F1, new specs for cars, Ecclestone now given up top spot, Ross Brawn is back with the new F1 Commercial Group, few driver changes.
Would be good to see a couple more teams into the mix again too.

I've finally gotten around to going through my photos from the Britcar Into The Night race at Brands Hatch back in November, was a leap into the unknown with know what to do or even try settings wise.
Has made me toy yet again with the idea of going full frame with a 5DIII from my 7D, but I may miss the reach. Anyone find they seem to reach a limit as to how slow a shutter speed they can use and still get keepers? 1/20th seems to be mine, managed a solitary 1/10th once which I'm proud of, would be nice to get to 1/5th or 1/4th, but I just don't seem to get things right or maybe not using the right lenses in the right way?
Here is a small selection, more on Flickr which I expect I'll share a few more of here over the coming weeks/months
C&C as always welcome.

Hi Matt.
Very nice series of shots, I'd like to be able to get usable shots with twice the shutter speed! ;D
Cheers, Graham.

Click said:Very nice series, Matt. I especially like the second picture.
Well done.
Thanks! I have a very low keeper rate when shooting at 1/20th, maybe 1 in 50? Even the keepers get binned if they are too similar. Think I took around 1300 photos on the day, kept 50-60 that I felt I liked and were in focus, could have saved a few more, but just didn't like them. Many had to have sharpening and noise reduction applied in post.

I would be the same.
Definitely my favorite thread, good to see quality shots.
Thanks!
My favourite thread too, sadly it doesn't see as many posts as other threads. Hoping some people caught some action from Daytona and Bathurst!
Working out which races to go to this year, 2 or 3 BTCC rounds, Britcar again as well. Thinknig about the WEC at silverstone, but its a bit far for one day, and expensive for a weekend away. Anyone else have motorsport plans already for the year?

It's been a great thread so far
I have the Australian GP next month and then will look to Phillip Island for the Supercars and maybe Sandown later in the year. I have a couple of other ideas for hill climbs and drags but I'll have to wait and see how that pans out.
