Was saying to Geoff tonight that I'd post these, so here they are. :)

I was testing out the new D200 with the 70-200 VR at Oran Park last weekend; she sings. :D Most taken with group dynamic AF, still trying to get my head around all the AF options! Any comments appreciated, still trying to process all my pics. More here. :)

Trent - absolutely fantastic, although it looks like the driver of the RX7 is going to sleep over the ripple strip!

I am actually going to Oran Park for a drive day in early September driving Lotus', so hopefully will take some good photos - you have set a very good benchmark for me :D

Elan! He didn't say vintage racing :lol: I'll guess it is a Elise or Exige which many are keen on for track work. As the Rover engined ones lack a bit of straight line grunt, a lot are putting Honda or supercharged Honda motors, now those are quick.

Trent - nice work mate and I agree that no.1 is the clear winner out of these. You're making the D200 work for you very well. Keep on posting buddy!

Trent, I think all of these shots are good. The feeling that something extra is happening in #1 make it stand out as the pick, #2, #3 & #4 are sharp!
Cheers,
Mick

Is 200mm enough reach? You seem pretty close to the action. Go #1: Rotor powa!!1one

Chi: more reach is always good, but 200 mm is more than adequate if you pick your spot well, these are mostly shot at less than 200 mm.

Kyle: yup for sure!
