After doing the MGP for the last 4 years, it now strikes me that I am running out of "new" places to take photos! Restrictions being what they are in some places you can't afford to turn up somewhere on race days and be told "you can't stand there" despite the media bib.

I work almost every weekend of the race season but the Mountain Circuit is unique even for us togs! The sheer speed involved throws out the usual settings and even something like the length of the race can play havoc with the sun and shadows if you are stuck.

Over the years I have got to know most of the guys (and gals) who marshal at the various spots I use and they are mostly quite accomodating. I think that some of the marshals should appreciate that I am there working, like they are, and not a free loader looking for a better, closer spot.

Anyway, rant over and back to the original question, use a higher shutter speed (800 - 1000th) higher ISO - 400 and move around or change lenses on each lap if you are at one of the faster places. Other than that keep you finger on the button, you won't miss any thing then!
