Looking good. Im not sure about the almost panoramic aspect ratio of the pics though,

for me the evo and subaru shots are the best, really captured the speed, and or course the flying water and mud from the wheels. lovely and sharp as well.

on a side note, very surprised to see and audi a3 rallying??!!

Just the way i had to cut them, didn't really want the grass and so on in the shot.

You are

Heres two more, theres 200+ ones that i want to keep, but i am sure you dont want me to post them all. Have some at different spots and good ones from the finish line if anyone wants me to post them.

nice shots there, overall id say the third shot has the best composition, its captured the speed and its generally more appealing to the eye than the others. Some could do with a bit of cropping i think.

Shot 1: Perfect composition but i feel that this shot looks a bit underexposed, easily fixed by messing about with curves in photoshop. Might up the saturation a bit aswell if i were you.

Shot 2: Nice colours, but i feel it could do with a little bit of cropping from the right.

Shot 3: Again, nice colours but it needs quite a bit cropping off from the right.

Shot 4: No quibbles with this one, really like it

Shot 5: Good comp and colours but i feel it could do with a little bit of sharpening.

Shot 6: Nice shot, no major quibbles with this one, may of taken down the highlights a little bit though.

Shot 7: Good colours but needs some cropping from the right.

Good shots overall, some nice results from the 70-200mm L.

First thing I noticed is that the wheels are not turning. You have used a shutter speed which is way too fast compared to the subject your shooting. The cars look like they have been glued in that position. Next time try to use a shutter speed between 1/80 - 1/200 MAX! The wheels will have a nice motion blur to them and give the pictures more of an impact.
