Austin F1 Grand Prix 2013

Formula One's second visit to Circuit of the Americas on November 16th 2013 was a big success. Vettel had the Championship locked up before the race, but took the win anyway in perfect weather. A security glitch kept my son Brian and I in the parking lot later than planned, but we missed no action and had a good time. The cars are so fast in 400MM framing it took shutter priority at 1/3000 of a second to stop the action. Many of last year's photos, taken at 1/1000, were blurred. Pre-focusing was used often- there was insufficient time for auto focus to obtain a lock before the cars went into obstructed view. All photos were taken from ground level general admission areas with no grandstand access.
