I do quite a bit of motorsport photography mainly at Brands Hatch as I like that curcuit and it's quiet close (ish). I enjoy the motorsport action but lately
I've seen in other forums such as BTCC, Motorstv, WTCC and so on that some of the guys there seem to get access to take photos on the grid. This is some thing I haven't done yet and would like to have a go at.

My questions are do I need a media pass, grid pass or do I just go and help myself to a few shots?

And

If I need a media pass how do I go about getting one?

Thanks in advance

Hi Davy - I'm certain you won't be able to just walk in so it's down to either being famous enough that you get a visitors invite or you will need an accredited press pass. The latter can be a bit of a chicken and egg. You need exposure (sic) to get the pass but you can't get exposure until you you've got a pass...if you know what I mean. Either way, I think a letter/request to the organisers wouldn't go amiss.

Thats just an off-the-top-of-my-head answer and I'm sure we have a couple of members who can give you more accurate advice. HTH
