hard braking...
I tried to position myself at the breaking zone on the front stretch where they began braking and downshifting. Was hoping for some shots with a few flames coming out of the exhaust but I really wasn't seeing much.
At any rate, I found a section of the fence that was not as fortified as the majority of the fence around the front stretch, which is why I'm a little behind the car.
To my surprise, 200mm was able to get me pretty close without the need for much cropping. Only snipped a bit off the front to even out the shot. More was lost going from 4:3 to 16:9. Image is still 5800px wide so plenty of pixels to play with if I wanted to.
The GTD cars were hitting around 170-180 before the brake zone. Knowing how much fence I had to shoot through and how big the reinforcements were, I felt a shallow DOF and relatively slow shutter speed (for those speeds) would get me a pretty clean shot of the car. I'm moderately satisfied with it.
