Looks like you have done pretty good as is, you have motion blur, and the cars look like they are in action.
C&C welcome.

Hi Don. Thanks, I had to do a fair bit of pp on these to try and salvage something from them as the wheels were frozen so I had to try and add some motion. Emphases on try.
Thanks again for taking the time to comment.

Wikipedia says:
Quote:
Drifting is a driving technique where the driver intentionally or unintentionally oversteers, causing loss of traction in the rear wheels or all tires, while maintaining control from entry to exit of a corner. A car is drifting when the rear slip angle is greater than the front slip angle, to such an extent that often the front wheels are pointing in the opposite direction to the turn (e.g. car is turning left, wheels are pointed right or vice versa, also known as opposite lock).
As a motorsport discipline, professional drifting competitions are held worldwide and are judged according to the speed, angle, showmanship and line taken through a corner or set of corners.[1]

It does seem that way, Hopefully i will get a chance to go to a full event soon.
Yours are Cracking shots, love the atmosphere and angles, kinda gritty.
Love them.
Thanks for the explanation John

To be honest, yours are cracking shots.
As you say, slow shutter and practice panning. I think I ended up using manual mode and setting shutter speed to suit lighting conditions with a few practice shots.
My drifting shots are usually on mud in a cold forest somewhere.

Fr Ted super shot, Fast enough to be sharp, slow enough to get the wheel spin with the muck . I would have been tempted to ps the number plate. That TEG could very easily be TED.
Thanks
Derek
