Best places to take pictures at Donnington Park?

[Oakey22]

i will be attending the super league at Donnington Park tomorrow and was wondering the best places for some good photo's. I will be taking my 40D and 70-200mm lens with me, also my nifty fifty and my kit lens, the 17-85mm. I was wondering the best places to get photo's.
I also have Media accrediation, on my pass it has numbers 1 to 6, but all are white, i saw some peoples that certain numbers were greyed. What is this bit for?

Kind Regards
Ian

with only 70-200mm you are very limited!
which circuit are they using?

Not sure of the name of the corner but its at the end of the home straight,if you go through the tunnel to the infield and turn left,most of these were taken there with either a Sigma 70-300 or Canon 70-210 f4 so you should be fine

I always headed down to the Melbourne loop. You can get them on entry, midcorner and then exiting.

You can also then dander up to the chicane in between races to claim a spot, got some nice ones of Barry Sheen there riding the classics in a Moto GP support race.

The silly thing about not spelling donington right is i only live 10 mins away, lol

Oakey22,

Sorry I've only just seen this. How did you get on?

BTW, the end of the straight is "Redgate" and is perfect for infield shots. Outfield there's a wire fence to contend with.

NathanJT, all went well, there are a couple of threads in the motorsport section on here, also have a look at my flickr in my sig

There is a well place access gate that give a perfect view into the Old Hairpin, which is useful for Clios and other tin tops for 3 wheel shots. Or halfway up the back overlooking the Old Hairpin for a few panning shots. Just about doable with a 200mm and a healthy crop
