Great shots. Wish I could have made it, I was at Daytona's and it was amazing.

Great - were you credentialed or did you get those from behind the fences ?

Credentialed.

From behind the fence one can probably get pretty close to the same corkscrew shots, it would be about another 15 or so feet back plus 3 to 5 feet higher up the berm. If one were a spectator I think a 70-200 with a 1.4 TC or a 300 would work. From where I stood I was happy using my 7D+70-200 IS II, though I wouldn't have minded a 1.4 converter at times. A lot of the other credentialed guys were carrying around bigger lenses, though. I was also credentialed for the Rolex Historics this year and brought a 500 F4L. I never really found a groove with it, it felt like too much lens for my style. But I've only been to Laguna twice now so I just might not have found the right spot for a lens like that. At other tracks I could totally see using a 500 or 600 as a go-to lens.

@FStop7 it's not the size of the lens, it's how you use it

Great intel, thanks !

I was there with a 7D (just got it so still very much in a learning mode) and a 70-200 but no TC. I'm still working through my photos but mine don't come close to these. Very nice work - something for me as an amateur to work towards.

Nice set! Wish I could have been there
