Compact cameras or DSLRs with normal focal-length lens just won’t fill your viewfinder with the action of a race. You will simply shoot a bunch of pictures that shows great expanses of the track and cars that look like tiny specks. Regardless of where you are located in or around the stands, you need a telephoto lens of 300mm or more. Most of the pros use 400mm and 600mm lenses. They understand one of the primary rules of photography: move as close to your subject as possible or use a lens that allows you to fill the frame with the subject. Like the pros, plan on using a monopod to support the weight of that long lens and steady it. Get more tips for motorsports photography :

Dave these are very well captured showing the intense speed and vulnerability of the drivers. Spot on with the sense of occasion. Panning this well is not easy or at least I cannot do it anywhere close to this capability. Do you ever get to be in the repair area with he mechanics? I can imagine a lot of interesting folk hanging round there. I have in the past thought about going to our local speedway/banger track these pictures have ignited that interest again. Thanks.
