Also when trying to use the slower shutter speeds I was finding it difficult at Lydd with the bright sunshne not to over expose.

Probably a fair amount of my photo's were taken at 1/100 and 1/120 any higher and the cars begin to look stationary unless to have included other clues to portray the dynamic nature of drifting
