2005 Belgian F1 GP
Hi guys,
Here are some of my pics from this year's Belgian Grand Prix. No PP (except slight saturation in some), interested to see if you think they need some? D70 + 70-200 VR mostly at f/2.8, some with TC17EII. Click thumbnails to enlarge! Michael Schumacher 
Kimi 
Montoya 
Klien 
Albers 
And from Sunday: Ernersto Viso 
Albers 
Massa 
Rest of the gallery is here, enjoy! 
It's like most shooting, if you've never shot it before it's hard, but with a little practise you get to see what works and what doesn't. I shot all these from Pouhon, the double left-hander; they're doing something like 220 km/h at the entry, and 270-odd on the exit (where the Sunday ones above were taken), so pretty damn fast. In hindsight I should have done some shooting from the Bus Stop chicane as well, where they're only doing 90 km/h or so and there are also good vantage points, but oh well, next time!
Fast glass was a must, and these pics wouldn't have been possible without it. Most of the Sunday was gloomy and overcast, but I still managed to take good pics because the 70-200 VR is sharp wide-open, so I could keep my shutter speed up without giving in to softness. My old Tamron (f/6.3 wide open at 300 mm) would have been a joke in these conditions.
Yeah a lens @ f/2.8 is definately a benefit
You have some great images. Standouts for me are the ones with the spray and the now ex-world champion MS. Eventhough I am not a Ferrari fan, gee the red looks good on screen.
