Here are some of my pics from today's autokhana at AHG today... tried for some slower shutters to give off that sense of racing! I hope you enjoy

Nice saturation and contrast. Good panning shots and sharp.

Awesome panning, extremely sharp, especially considering the shutters you used, the look extremely slow judging by the blur you were getting. What were the shutters in those ones?
Nikon D80, MB-D80, Nikon 50mm f/1.8, Nikon 17-55mm f/2.8, SB-800, Sigma 18-200 f/3.5-6.3
Various bits of borrowed/stolen glass/speedlights etc. - zero style or taste.

They are great, with the blur in all the right places. Really gives a good sense of speed.

Excellent shots, but I think that the "frame them on an angle" has been overdone - particularly the last shot, where the car is dropping right off the page. :) (My opinion only, others may not agree.)

But the panning skills and showing the effects of the movement of the cars is well done.

yep, that is bens evo... its a very quick car!

i wasn't sure about the angled crops... i take all my photo's straight, but i think they seem to add a bit more... excitement? to them...

im not sure what the concensus is on the angles... maybe its good if its not over done?!

thanks for the comments everyone, oh and harry, the shutter speeds were about 1/80 for this lot.
