Looks like you had fun. You had a few good shots in there, a bit of work on the action shots is needed, I'm no good myself but that's my opinion. Help you get better:approve:
The shot near the top with the escort is good

 

[Stu_350z]

Thanks for the comments guys and yeah I love the escort one...and the sign for some reason lol

Yeah jus need to try and keep the car in focus a little better

Bloke in the Viper is a hero! Looked like a decent day out.

LL that viper was such a hand full Nearly lost it comin out the starting gates on the bend...too much too soon I think was the case

Couple of good ones the blue 106 and the green Seat are getting there photo-wise

What gear are you using? I'm sure there're some guides on the photog section about 'panning' - basically move the camera at the same speed as the car to get blurred background and car in focus with a shutter speed of 1/60-1/125 or just ramp up the shutter speed to get it all in focus (this can lead to the car looking like it's parked on the track though :rasp: )

Practice, practice, practice!

Thanks mate yeah I was doing it just on auto so will try shutter speeds next time just wanted some practise for le mans

And was just using the Fuji Finepix S1730

 

[walkie86]

Yeh, give it a go with those shutter speeds and you'll get much better results, something like this: http://www.flickr.com/photos/walkie86/5612984244/

I find every time I do panning shots, I get better so just get out there and practice!

Looks like it was a good day

I leave it so long between doing panning shots i always forget which settings i should be using. If you've got internet on your mobile i'd recommend bookmarking this guide : http://www.cliosport.net/forum/showthread.php?192165-Crash-Course-in-Photography.
