I am very interested in the 5D MK IV, if it is still available.

WOW!!! Those are some awesome pictures 8-) !
Which turn were you stationed?
General Admission lets me move my chair around the track, but I can see a real advantage to being up high.
Thanks for your input!

Thanks for your responses, they are appreciated!!!
Yes, after I uploaded to my computer, I could see some 'grain', so I knew I would need to drop the ISO. The day started out very overcast, so I didn't put my polarizer on. I should have taken the time to put it on after the sun came out :(!
It seemed like I was shooting constantly, throughout the day...quite a few misses, but a fair number of keepers. Hopefully, next year will be even better!

Thanks for the hints!
Yes, I would love to be able to get 'inside' those fences, but they are usually limited to media professionals.
I was using a monopod...did try panning, but fencing wreaked havoc, often.
I will try to repost the pics.

Hi, everyone!
I have been lurking here, for about a month, while searching through the posts. I've hoped to discover some wisdom which might help me improve on taking photos while I'm at a race track.
I'm attaching a few shots, that I took, at the 2013 US Grand Prix at COTA. These were taken with a Canon 7D using an EF 70-200mm f2.8 IS USM lens. Lens in manual mode, because auto usually refocused on the fencing...grrr!
The challenge is...as a spectator you have to shoot through 2 sets of chain-link fencing separated by about 20 feet. These F1 cars are going anywhere from about 60-200mph, depending on which curve you are located.
Does anyone have any similar experiences, and can you share any tips which might allow a higher percentage of relatively 'sharp' photos??
