Depends which circuit they are running as the majority of it is off limits to the public. Options 1. Top of the circuit Peel corner is good for straight on shots plus three quarter pans. You can also do shots of the backs of the cars going towards the Sea if you turn to your left as they...

Well done Matt. Perseverance has paid off for you :clap:

Last time I had to have a hire car they tried to give me a Daewoo Matiz. I asked if I could have 2 one for each foot. Sure enough once they met me they changed it to an Astra :lol::lol::lol:

A pan at 1/60th of a second is going to produce a lot of motion blur. I try to keep between 1/100th and 1/200th depending on the position on the track and the speed of the vehicle. Try again starting at 1/200th and work your way down until you find the balance between sharpness and motion blur...

Are you still planning to do this?
