Nice shots Peter.

I'm quite surprised to see the GoPros stuck on the cars at various places. For some reason I would have expected a more sophisticated positioning and mounting method. Presumably any aero effect is a not issue. On of the shots seems to show 2 camera devices mounted between the air intakes just in the front of the fin. Presumably it's an area with no useful airflow that can be compromised. Or is the other way around - a good place to install something that disturbes the air flow?

Actually being able to spot that and raise the discussion point probably says a lot about the quality and versatility of the 100-400 lens.
