3, 7 & 9 are best action shots. The others are technically good photos (sharp, good colour etc) but your choice of backgrounds lets them down for me

Thanks for the comment - what exactly is it about the backgrounds that you don't like, the presence of people in them or something else?

Unfortunately you can't always find an angle that shows the attitude and movement of the cars together with a nice background, while staying out of the likely path of drivers who aren't quite as good as they thought. Life is full of compromises.

Nice shots Ben, and 7 is superb!

1. 2...is that the world's first submersible Capri??? To think if they'd made "The Spy Who Loved Me" a few years earlier eh?!?

Thanks - the funny thing about that Capri is that with a 351 V8 and auto box it actually sounds remarkably similar to a sprintboat!

What can I say, Australian driver!
