Motorsport Photography

I'm a massive fan of motorsport and also learning to use my A300, and I was just wondering what sort of lenses/equipment are best to take good motorsport shots.
I already have a Beercan 70-210mm lens but are there any other lenses that would make a good motorsport kit?

I suppose it depends on how close you can get to the action or the tracks you go you have to shoot through fences.

You can use many lens it is just the limit of you imagination that will hold you back.

However saying that, having a lens that would go to 300mm or 400mm may be useful.

But walking around the pits (Oulton is my main place) short wide lens are good for getting picturs of the cars, people working on them, abstracts etc.

Track side anything from 180mm upwards.

Take a look around the Motorsport threads that way give you some idea on what people use.

But with a bit of thought I would think the kit you have you should be able to get some good pictures.

Cheers mate, I'm heading up to Knockill over the summer for the Bikes, BTCC and GT's and may try and get up fairly shortly for some Scottish Club racing just to get an idea of what I'm doing!
