Formula 1 Power Boat race, Abu Dhabi, 07th Dec'07
A good chance to play with the new camera & lens again, with high speed subjects...!

Was a little overcast as the parade lap started, most of the boats flew a flag of the drivers home country... on their way to the starting pontoon (or is it still a grid...?)

There were 26 for the start, which is a standing start launch. straight across the track then a left turn to start a lap proper, with pole sitter supposedly having the inside line for the 1st turn...!
