Last Sunday was the last race in the Formula 4 2007 season - and as Sencon sponsor a local car I went along to watch the race and take a few photos. Sian and I have just got a D50 so I thought this would be a great time to use it and figure it out.

That’s my best effort from the day - I’m still getting used to using this camera (in fact any DSLR) and really would have done better with a longer lens. Saying that it looks like a pretty decent first attempt at motor sport photography to me, so I’m pleased!

The car finished 8th overall but a 6th place ‘went begging’ mainly due to old front tyres that had to be used because of a clutch failure in qualifying neigh-on destroying the last set of decent fronts. Charles finished 7th in the championship overal, slipping from 6th in this last race.

We’re all hoping for an improvement next season, and I’ll be paying an interest in progress over the winter & I’ll be sure to get some interesting shots of the rebuild progress.
