2, 3 and 4 for me. Great shots.

 

[Alan Clark]

A nice variety of shots.
Have you thought about shooting with slow shutter speeds to increase the motion blur? I think this would have benefitted 1 and 2. I have photographed power boats at 1/40sec with a 500mm focal length and the subject is perfectly sharp thanks to image stabilisation, so you do not need to use short exposures.

Cracking shots Paul! It's hard to pick a favourite from these, so I won't!

 

[FowlersFreeTime]

Top notch!

Great shots, I like them all, but I love 2, 3, 4 and 8.

i have thousands of slow pans but when the subject is head on or 3/4 in frame no reason i can also add motion blur in post , i have done enough planes bikes etc looking for motion blur full prop blur at a 1/50th to understand that when and when not to use it ,you will only get a slow pan at 1/50th sharp when the subject is 90 deg in front of you , i also i do not want to spend the whole day taking dissapointing shots that i will have to bin , also i forgot my n/d filters and on this bright day a 1/50th would of been challenging,oh and a side car where a wheel is not visible is not going to show blur ,just for you one of the slower s/s on the day

you will only get a slow pan at 1/50th sharp when the subject is 90 deg in front of you

As a newbie to this genre, I appreciate that nugget of info.
