Taken at Sonoma Raceway during the Blancpain GT race earlier this year. Fujifilm X-H1 with 50-140mm and a 3 stop ND to let me slow down the shutter speed for a nice panning shot while keeping the aperture more open.
EDIT: Corrected 6-stop to 3-stop.

Very nice!
Really good panning shot. What was the aperture of this one? I'm surprised you need to use 6stop ND.
Whoops, you're right! I have a 6-stop for all of my other lenses, but only a 3-stop for this one. To get the shutter speed low enough without ND, I'd usually have to be at ~f22 or so, and I really don't like the photos I usually get from that as the parts that should be sharp are soft from diffraction even if I manage to get the pan right, and the background ends up really busy and distracting from the deep depth of field. I like the 6 stops because then I can pan like this and shoot at f2.8 or f4 and keep the foreground and background a little cleaner.
In any case, this one was at f11 and 1/50s.
Thanks!
