I shoot in burst, and usually snap 3-5 frames per pass.
I like those shots, Marcin. I’m excited to see the CTSCC cars for the first time, as well as get my Corvette/RSR fix.

The a6000 can shoot up to 11fps, but I kept it on the low setting last year. I think I'll do that again. It still left me with a crap ton of pictures.

1/20 of a second
That's as low (or high) as I tried. It's probably for the best as I only kept 2 pictures at that shutter speed and the other is hella blurry.

The APS-C sensor wouldn’t make a difference there, but f/25 definitely would. My old telephoto lens has a minimum f/16 aperture, so I can’t slow the shutter too much without ND or CPL filters.
Going to races has really reignited my joy of photography, but my god I do not miss going through this many pictures to find the good ones.

I've been seeing what my upgrade options are and there aren't too many. I would most likely need a full-frame lens and they are pricey. This kit lens seems to do a good job.
This photo probably needs some post-processing. Not sure if that would help with the white of the car melting into the background.

I’ve barely scratched the surface of the pictures I took this weekend, but here’s one from Friday’s practice which turned out nicely. I need to bring up the shadows a touch. Unfortunately this RSR’s engine went boom halfway through Sunday’s race, and my ears were only able to be raped by one Porsche instead of two.
For those who have experienced this car in person, you’ll understand what I mean when I say “BWAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH HHHH”
