Wow, love you work! If this is just some of your 6000 shots, I'd love to see some more! I'm really impressed, that last shot with the reflection in the visor is great!
Also the ford up on two wheels is great, actually all of them are sweet!

Very nice images - what lens was used. Something fast and sharp I'm assuming

thanks pharmer, pretty much used my 70-200vr for most of them, also with the 1.7tc in some parts.
the one against the fence and the glenfords car were taken with the 18-70

the air shots are in the chicane at the end of the pit straight, even the little aussie cars get airborne through there

Absolutely Brilliant!!!! I Dont comment on alot of car photos unfortunately... but these captured my attention... the BWS Car is just absolutely perfect.. the flames and heat are just captured insanely.. the detail is awesome
My old man was Pit Manager for Sterling Moss for a couple of years in Europe a few years ago.. and also for Jack Brabham... and had few folders of photos and slides from the days..... the idiot threw them all in the bin because he didnt think they would be worth anything... shame.. some were good, but not as good as yours... but its great seeing the way motorsport has changed in the day..
Great work!!

shaunus - a great selection of absolute stunning shots

.
Maybe next year you can get some additional passes for us to get on the inside of the track or just outside the fence

Shaunus, great work here, I see being on the inside has its advantages - gives you so much more control over creativity...lovely work. Now how about looking after your mates

Lovely work. Looks like some of the drivers thought they were our rallying.

Nice mate, some of, if not the, best shots I've seen posted of the Clipsal. Very nice indeed.

I agree, these are all fantastic shots and helps to be on the inside and free to get to good spots.
I also think us poor fellows who didn't have the benifit of this option also got some great shots considering we couldn't put our lens up to the fence or through the mesh like lucky ones could. I think all shots have been great, in there right.

I have to agree BBJ, having access into the pits gets you up close and personal. Then you don't need the 300mm or 400mm f/2.8!
I have managed to get media accred for the Bathurst International Motor Festival, (to be held Easter long weekend) for myself and another member, so hopefully we'll get some good images also.
There will be no V8 supercars, but nearly every other catergory will be there, including 'Team Australia' CHAMP car doing laps of the circuit!
Very excited!

Well that series certainly made me feel homesick
All are excellent I especially like the Cat Ford pit shot, the BWS flame shot and the porche with all four feet off the ground. These are stunning ! Hope to see some more in the future.

some brilliant work there. Hopefully have secured pit access for the round at wanneroo though sponsoring a couple of cars in a different series, so you have inspired me, although wanneroo is a pretty boring track.

Great shots shaunus. The shot with the reflection in the pit guys goggles is excellent .
