"My tent isn't waterproof" would be considered acceptable.

Next time I'm taking a tent that I've bought, to my specifications, with my own money.
And a roll of binbags and some hazard tape obviously.

I spent most of last year trying to get that technique sorted so I was well pleased with the results.

Not bad at all
Best advice I can give though is to really push it. You're at 1/125 there, mine was at 1/30. At that speed I'm throwing away 9/10 shots as just too blurry, but its worth it for the ones that do come good.
Tell you what though, the next one in your stream - the sunset one - is fucking awesome.

Haven't been to Donnington yet.
It's just a matter of good footing, smooth action and follow-through. Mainly though it's practice.
This is a stunning shot by the way:

[edit] What ^he said. Do everything you can to slow that shutter down, you're looking to drag the background through the frame (an added bonus is that the wheels don't look 'frozen' either). 1/30 to 1/60s is reckoned to be the limit for clean hand-held images but that's entirely dependent on the person shooting. Push your luck - I went to Brands Hatch for the truck racing two weeks ago and took approx 500 shots. I got maybe 15 keepers but they're ones I *really* liked.

Thanks both
Those sunset shots are easy! Haha, I call them cheat shots, but once I had found the spot to take advantage of the setting sun, a couple of Pro snappers copied me.
I need more practice, a lens that was built in the digital era, and maybe actually use my monopod.
Donington is very chaddy, makes Brands look nice, but it's a great track and in a few places you can get really near the cars.

I hate Donnington
except for that first corner after the start/finish straight. I got one of my favourite ever shots there.
I'm just lucky that Brands is about a 15 minute drive from me. If I'm ever bored at the weekend its a no-brainer.

I don't know how they ever thought Donington was going to get a GP
And you can't walk all the way round. But I like the actual track, the Craner curves are amazing with the high down-force cars.
I drive past Brands every day on the way to work. Most handy.
That is a killer shot of a killer car. Really great.
