Finally had a chance to take my new lens out for a spin (pun intended) and to put it through it's paces on my 5D Mark IV and 7D Mark II along with the 1.4 and 2x Teleconverters.
Wide range of weather situations over the 3 days I was there provided a lot of diverse shooting opportunities. My favorite was the morning rain which made for some nice shots.

Last run for the Ford GT's in their final season at VIR.
Normally I focus primarily on the Porsche's but given that this is the last season for the Ford GT's in IMSA competition, I figured I should get a few more shots of them. Glad I did. Pleasantly surprised with the results I got with the 7D mkII and my 300mm

...in the glow of the morning sun.
Little did they know that the team would actually have the whole afternoon to bask in the warm Virginia sun as the 911 were taken-out of competition shortly after it started and were only able to complete about half of the race.
Porsche 911 RSR
IMSA Michelin GT Challenge -VIR
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.

Gearing-up for a return visit to Road Atlanta for the 2018 Petit LeMans, and reviewing everything I did last year.
This year, I am expecting a significant improvement over last year as things really didn't click for me until this race last year. Lots of shots I'm planning to improve upon as well as discovering new shot opportunities.

Panoz at the turn-in point at the beginning of the base of the esses. Tricky vantage point to get a shot as the fencing is pretty heavy duty here. Not to mention being up on my toes on a step stool to get just above the Armco.

Heading back to 'Biscuitville' at VIR this weekend. Reviewing what I did last year to see what I want to improve upon and what not to do this time around.
I'm curious about my lens of choice this time around. The 100-400 used last year has a finicky diaphragm that throws focus front and/or back and is unusable.
When I was here in the spring, I used my 400 f5.6 and 1.4xTC and had decent results. This time it will be the 300 and 1.4x and 2xTCs. I did some microadjust tests today for the 2xTC. Planning to go once more in September down to here where I'll hopefully be testing the 600 f4
Had a good spot with cars on approach to the false grid.

Lamborghini Super Trofeo race at VIRginia International Raceway.
Managed a decent panning shot on the back straight between 10 and 11 with the help of a little fold-up stool. The fence was just high enough to where it made panning difficult.
Fortunately, I watched the race from the previous year, noticed how high the fences were and picked-up a small folding step stool. Makes a decent seat too :D

No. 912 Porsche GT Team - Porsche 911 RSR testing the limits of wet kerbs during qualifying. Paid-off as they got pole position.
Both Porsches were hard at it and really gettin after it off the corners of a wet track. The 911 pancaked the drivers side in the tire-wall in this corner a few laps later.
