Some great shots there, Larry! I like the ones with some blur in them to communicate that speed. How low did you go in shutter speed on some of those pan shots?
I skipped and watched the video in your last link and that was quite a last lap! Who ended up actually winning? I'm not sure how much they get penalized, but it looked to me like the 3rd place car (137 VW) actually got across the finish line (over the yellow line) first. Both of the first two cars looked to be below the yellow.
