Camera is a 50D, lens is a Sigma 50-500 OS which I use mostly for motorsport and at air shows. Any recommendations for a waterproof cover that is effective and convenient to use?

Two wet weekend at Cadwell have persuaded me to buy one. £30-ish budget.

Regardless of budget, I expect your choices will be limited to something like this:

I have the smallest size of rain cover made by Vanguard, and it's well made and easy to throw over the camera once you've practised a couple of times. I've not actually been out in the rain with it yet, but have every confidence in it. www.amazon.co.uk/Vanguard-Alta-Rain-Cover-Large/dp...
