2 things you need to take good pictures of race cars
1: MANUAL FOCUS. This is important, AF can't keep up with the cars. Focus the camera on the track where you want to snap the picture.
2: Pan the camera with the car. After focusing and holding the button halfway to lock the exposure, follow the car and just before the spot you want to take the picture, press the shutte button the rest of the way. Think golf---follow through.
I've taken enough pictures at Sebring to know what settings to use on my camera, and where the good pic spots are. This year was my 6th year there. I've taken almost 6000 race car pictures over the years.
