Thank you for the information. The 3100 uses the DX lenses right? I was under the impression that the 55-300MM lens wasn't quick enough for this type of shooting with its f/4.5-5.6 not letting in enough light. If this is indeed the lens you used I guess you proved that theory wrong. I use a prime DX lens with f/1.8 that does a pretty good job but have been on the fence about a zoom like the one you used.

I've been using 75-300 or 100-300 lenses for over 20 years with that sort of maximum aperture and they're fine. Of course, now we have digital we can take a dozen shots instead of one so you can maximise you chances. There are also a lot of laps in 10 hours of practice and 24 hours of the race to shoot the same cars over and over again!
