Formula 1 Testing Silverstone 2006 (revised)

Took these at Silverstone last year, the majority of them with my 28-300mm lens on my 300D , should give an idea of what you get :)

Some nice shots there mrgubby. Really good sharpness on the F1 cars. Gives me an idea of what type of shots im going to be able to take.

I have a feeling they'll be quite a few of them there ;)

I think it will be easy for me to spot you guys than it will for you to spot me...unless you look right towards the front as I'll be trying to get as much range out of my 200 as I can :p

My mate doesn't have a camera. Hes just coming for the cars. Its a shame I haven't been able to get my new lens early enough. Any idea if 70-200 will be long enough?

Xolotl = Giles.
