This is pretty much the same track location, right after hurry downs at turn 8

My lens that came standard with my camera only offered this at full zoom.



This was with the 400mm 2.8

nice flame capture, but need to slow the shutter speed a touch and get some motion in the front wheels. Looks more like you were shooting f5.6 of f8 on this shot from the sharpness of the nose to spoiler, and level of detail in the wall behind the car.
