Quality David.
+1. Great variety.
Is there nothing this man can't do?
And the crop is sharp sharp sharp
All we need now David is some motorsport events running through the lake district to give a better backdrop.

It wouldn't work Nigel - the backgrounds would be blurred

I am not known for Motorsport images, but yesterday had my first foray into this world (in a photographic sense at least) at Donington Park. This was the first day of the British Touring Cars Championship meeting, mostly practice sessions with a couple of races. These days are great for photography, probably better than the race days when it can get a bit too busy if you don't have privileged access (which I didn't).
Here are a few from the day, I tried to vary the styles a bit hope they work OK.
Lift-Off - K-3, Sigma 150-500, Monopod
My name is 'Marshall' - K-3, Sigma 150-500, Monopod
Clio Pan - K-5IIs, Pentax DA L 55-300
Ginetta Pan - K-5IIs, Pentax DA L 55-300
Dancing Insignia - K-3, Sigma 150-500, Monopod
On The Clock - K-3, Sigma 150-500, Monopod
Finally, for anyone that ever doubted the sharpness / IQ of their Sigma 150-500 lens, here's a 100% crop of the above image:
Comment and criticism welcome as always.
Sincere thanks to George Carman for getting free access for myself and my Wife Nicky.

Looks warmer from these shots than the reality ! Sunday, although a lot warmer, was wet, misty and dull (racing was good though) so I think we got the best weather for photo's.
