F1 with a budget cap!

Creature asked me along to Silverstone for testing again this year, thought it would be a good chance to have a dabble at motorsport pics. After debating what to buy, in the end I thought it best to just play with the toys I have and see what I could do. As I've not done anything like this before and with my best lens having a MASSIVE 50mm zoom I felt like a right amateur standing next to people with 300mm L glass.

Anywho the pics. Wanted to play with panning but with no zoom that's near enough impossible without going near the fence, these were just to have a play and not for any collection.

Slightly cropped as I didn't have the black fence lines in

Really wish there wasn't any fencing as I could have had some great shots
