Sorry guys - this is the first time ive had internet access since the last time I posted here, Ive got hundreds of pics to sort through when I get home (tomorrow).
In answer to a few questions, yes I was in Millau when I las logged on, so sorry I didnt respond to the posts.
I used the Nikor 18-200 VR lens on the D80 but to get the panoramic I had to take a few photos and stitch them together with some free software called Autostich (it makes a MUCH better job of stitching photos than photoshop, and its free! )
Ill post up a whole bunch of pics when I have time to sit down and sort them out on my photobucket account. Some very exotic machinery at the ring by the way - A Mercedes Mclaren 722 and Carrera GT to name a couple - 911 GT3's were also common as muck, litteraly dozens of em. A couple of Bently coupes, several 360's and some seriously race prepaed M3's etc.
More later!
