Great crisp shots!.
How far away from the action were you and what setup/settings were you using?
Were these single shots or the pick of bursts?

Cheers Rob

Some great shots mate, those Canon primes really are something else, even if you do look dodgy carrying one around in certain spots!

Virgs - very sharp shots, great composition, and 'YES' the Canon 400mm f/2.8 is working extremely well :)

I think there were 3, I do not follow the rally as such but love photographing the action. Yes the 400 2.8 is simply stunning as a lens and the commitment to owning this lens has paid of in its first outing, it may have taken 5 years but it was worth the wait.

First shot was about 70m from the action the rest about 30m - Using a 1DMK111 and the 400 F2.8 at either 2.8 or 4
