Thanks guys.

The shutter speed/pan thing is really tough to get, I wasn't too successful as most of my shots look like the two cars side by side - much too sharp and frozen in place, in some of these, the things look like they could be parked out there.

I needed to bracket more shots with different shutter speeds, I was either too slow or too fast - need to find that sweet spot where there's just enough blur and a feeling of motion.

I do like the shot of the Ferrari with the rear in focus and the front out, but I needed to practice more where the TDI shot was taken - on the "inside radius" of a corner where you can sort of pan with the car and keep the whole thing parallel to you (the car stays the same size throughout the pan).
