I think I am lucky in that I live on a small island, everyone tends to know everyone else, and of course thier business. When it came to getting a press pass I just made myself seen everywhere and known to everyone who matter, luckily I've had a load of work published so people now know my name, or my websites name which in turn results in being recognised when the accreditation forms are read.
Do evereyone a favour, do not give your work away for free, from then on who-ever you supply will expect it, and worse still, you could be doing someone who does this for a living out of work.
Motorsport press passes are wanted by many, you'll do well to get one without being known by someone, if I was to suggest anything it would be to Email motorsport organisor websites or contacts and ask to be put on the press release lists, its a start and costs nothing. Ask your local newspapers if they have the event covered, and if not, can you do it (get a nice letter from them explaining that your working on behalf of the paper).
Try chatting to a marshall, 10 mins of small talk could get you a long way (or a phone number if your that way inclined, lol) or better still, give him/her a coffee.
Good luck with it.
