Looks like my work here is done :p

 

A slow shutter speed and panning is needed for these type of shots

before you buy a new camera, learn how to use the one you have first :) ie full manual mode, it will help you immensly and is probably the best advice I can give you.

 

Also with the colours I adjust my white balance before taking almost every shot, that would have helped to get the 'true' colours.

 

top 2 may be in the a paper soon ;)

One of mine from the Harewood Hill climb...

Panning is actually quite difficult I found at first, you have to either focus manually at the spot in front of you where you want to take the photos or set the camera to AI-Servo mode (on my 350D anyway) which automatically adjusts the focus following the subject. Then you've got to press the shutter button halfway and start following the car from a way off and hold down the button to take loads at once. One of em should be ok!

 

However you'll then find that you've either used too fast a shutter speed and the background isn't blurred or too slow and everything is blurred. The one above I think was either 1/250 or 1/320, slightly off-center unfortunately, but the car is nice and sharp. A lot of the others the cars where ok but not pin-sharp. More practice needed :)
