I need a tip: all my track shots froze the wheels, making the cars look static. How do I set the camera to make them look like they're spinning?

Shutter priority and slow things down. 1/160 sec and below should be fine.

Cheers, Ian. I was just pointing and shooting, tbh!

Here's a few I took of the cars not moving on the track.  :grin:

Start at 1/250 then work ur way down towards 1/150 if you're getting good at it. It's not easy and takes practice to get clean looking shots but satisfying when u nail it. Hence I tend to end up taking 1000 pics at track days lol

I'll be spectating and togging at Audi day in October.
