I'm planning to go at Donington fot the MotoGP qualify day but I never been there before...there's any public places(NO media accreditation needed) where I can take some good shoots?
my longest focal lenght available is 400mm on APS-C, but if possible I'll prefer do not use the TC especially for pannings.
Samples shoots will be appreciated :D

Thanks

I will be going aswell i went to bsb with me 28-135 infield of red gate also craner curves there are no fences also outfield of foggy esses . I will try and post some pics later for you but you will def need your 1.4 ex . I am hiring 300 f4 with a view to buying one depending on results i get. There is also infild of coppice but you will have to stand on top of mound to get over fence on of the many around here.also found small gap in fence outfild of coppice

thank you mate, I think that the pics you post was taken at 135mm...I'm lazy I'll check the exif later but don't you think that 200mm will be enough for a large panning in that 2 places? maybe y coul try to duplicate my 135 it should work better than the 70-200 :)

here the other 2 places so you can get an idea of pic you can get Yes 200 may be enough but take your 1.4 just in case. Depends on the kind of shot you want at the end of the day have a good time.
