BTCC Brands Hatch

Hi,

Anyone going to Brands on 1st/2nd April for the touring car opener?

We are coming down from Glagow, trying to get my oldest daughter interested in it so I can go more

Was thinking of buying her a cheap camera from MPB, maybe a D3000/D5000. Would a 18-105 be ok for her to get decent shots of the cars at Brands?

Depending on which part of the track - 18-105 would be fine at Druids but would fall short at the rest of the track.

You would need something more around the 70-300 range but have a look through some of the previous threads here to see what others have used.

For paddock shots fine, for track shots, a bit limiting. A 70-300 is better. She might prefer the people photography opportunities to race car photography anyway.
