Tifosi, the kind of conditions SDPhotography is talking about are really very gloomy indeed. Getting a fast enough shutter speed with a 300mm f/4 lens at ISO 1600 may still be challenging in Northern England in the winter.
Besides, isn't the Sigma 70-300 wide open at f/5.6 at the long end of its zoom?

Im no disregarding the suggestion of getting a large flashgun (Im hoping to buy a 580EX in the new year) but for the moment, I have no finances other than to get me to the event and will be either using the 70-300 of mine, the 50mm of mine (if close enough) or a couple of Mr Woollesons lenses as he will be with me (this is the usual thing) which means either the Sigma 100-300 EX F4 (HEAVVVVYYYY but awesome!) or the 70-200F4L as I dont think I'll be close enough to experiment with the 10-20mm again :lol:
Buying another lens or Flashgun is out for the moment as the next bunch of cash that comes in, needs to go into car tax & some small repairs before I can even think about buying anything to do with photography
I do like panning shots occasionally, but with rally I tend to find that full freeze shots work well
