Flying Lizard Motorsport with a different livery design. Traditionally, it has been red and silver. Not sure if this was a one-off design for this event.
Used a 6-stop ND filter here to keep the aperture as wide open as I could to try and eliminate the fencing that was about 20’ in front of me. I could’ve gotten 10’ closer to the fence but my step stool isn’t tall enough (goes down in a little gulley) to be perpendicular to the car for this shot. So I’m back off on top of the little hill. Seemed to work though 2.8 would’ve been better. Any faster a shutter speed to get 2.8 would’ve shown too much of the fencing.
Finally having a chance to start editing photos from a myriad of events over the past month using a rented EOS R5. I was also able to rent the 100-500mm but will initially be focusing on what the 800mm has to offer on this camera. Thoughts and impressions welcomed.

I know, pinhole photography at car racing events does not make any sense. I often do things that don't make sense. Car racing does not have much sense either. Many things don't have it. So why not?

3. Software updates!
More than eight-million computers have been impacted in the “largest IT outage in history”, according to the software giant Microsoft.
The firm said in a blog, on Saturday, that a software update by cybersecurity firm CrowdStrike affected nearly 8.5 million Microsoft devices.
Flights across the world were grounded, patients were unable to book appointments, rail passengers were delayed and football clubs were unable to sell tickets, while media companies saw their broadcasts severely disrupted.
Microsoft, in a report from Reuters, said: “We currently estimate that CrowdStrike’s update affected 8.5 million Windows devices, or less than 1 per cent of all Windows machines.”
One expert indicated it was the “largest IT outage in history”.

Was able to find a different place to stand than previous events... and away from spectators on the fence, and try some panning of the exit turn of the boot. Definitely a good 'social distance' lens.

Testing the good old 100-400 on the R5 to see how it compares to the 100-500. Outside of it being 100mm less reach, I find the quality to be the same in terms of sharpness and AF response.

800mm pan down the backstraight before the braking zone. Never have been able to get a decent shot outside of the braking zone.

It must be said that extra digits are a constant possibility in 'Infrathin'. This phenomenon wears off soon after returning to what is commonly known, and almost universally accepted, as 'reality'.
James extends his profound sympathy to those enduring the 'Crowdstrike' fracas.
Fantastic lighting conditions as the clouds broke. Really would love a late September, early October race here.

Heavy rains the night before made it uncertain as it was cloudy upon arrival at the track but the clouds parted just as the cars hit the track in the first session of the day.

Impressed that I not only was able to get this through the fence pretty clean, but to also be able to reach the entry to the Inner Loop here. Granted, early morning and cool fall temps helped as there was no thermal activity radiating yet but still... kind of ridiculous when I compare to previous outings and gear used.
