Rich-In the past I spent a lot of time trying to pan these fast-movers at 1/125 and 1/250 for more motion blur, and while I did get some delightful photos, it was at the expense of a lot of film. In particular, I've found it to be a very difficult task to pan a vehicle moving toward me at an angle. This time most exposures were at 1/500 or thereabouts, and I got sufficient, though not dramatic blur, but wasted no film.
Julio, Thanks for the compliment. I find the pit shots to be fun myself, though often when these cars are taken apart in the pits they are hardly recognizable-just metal boxes with skins that look familiar. I try to avoid those shots by attempting to shoot whole vehicles. The Porsche is such a strong marque at ANY sports car race. I doesn't seem to matter what class of race, the Porsches are there in strength.
PF-I spent way too much time putting that movie together in PSE 6. Seemed like every time I tried there was a problem. Even this one has problems, but I threw my hands up and said, "Enough, post it!" It should have taken me 15 minutes, but instead it took much longer to produce the thing. I was going to blame myself, but instead I'll dodge it by saying that sometimes software writers have a screw loose.
