Hi folks,

Any good thoughts on places to get great photos from a general admission ticket around the track? I'm planning on wandering around during the race. Would appreciate some ideas thanks.
I'll take a 100-400 lens with me.

Cheers.

As they exit from Siberia, over at the back of the track, if you get a position on the fence (not that hard to do, and on a Gen. Admission ticket) you are very close to the action.

I'd love to see that race in person. :cross:

I would suggest between 11 and 12 you should get some decent pics .

Yes unfortunately you stand a better chance of getting decent shots at the slower parts of the circuit.

Like over the top of Lukey Heights and through MG.

Siberia is good because you get a chance to line them up as they are coming towards you through the corner.

Closeness to the track and catching them coming towards you, at slower speeds, makes it easier for the photographer.

Make sure you post up your best shots.

I've got a great collection of shots of an empty track, or of a back wheel going out of view..

As others have said Lukey and Siberia would be the best spots but you can get good shots almost all over the track.

Thank you Alice, Wilks, Pat and HFW003.
Much appreciated.

I snapped these in 2011 between siberia and lukey. Side on and pretty fast they were a bit tricky to frame well.

Todka - those shots look pretty good to me.

I like near the hay shed you get them coming and going your not far from the track either.

I couldn't find hay shed on a map, but I am guessing you mean around turn 8? If so I agree. Thats' where I was last time and it was a good spot.

Thanks for the input gents. I will pick up a few of these with a wander around on the day.
Enjoy the race.
