Photography spots - Rockingham and Oulton

[Ian Sowman]

I'm not asking for me, because I am merely a writer and website editor, but I would like to offer some constructive suggestions to my photographer who is working for me this weekend.

On Saturday he will be with me at Oulton Park. My specific question for this is: what are photographic opportunities like on the International circuit loop. This is something that I can't think that any of the photographers have used have tried before. I think we've had people at every corner (apart from - possibly - Druids) but not either out at Shell or Brittens, so I'd like to see some images from there. Ideally, within the space of one race, I'd like several different angles. So what is the best bet for photographing at that end of the circuit?

On Sunday, it is off to Rockingham where the racing is on the 1.62-mile Sports Car circuit, not the more commonly-used International circuit. When that is in use the favourite spot is the bit of land between the chicane and Tarzan (from where I think you can also get over to Yentwood). But with Tarzan not in use, is this still the best bet? Or can you get anywhere up the other end of the circuit, i.e. Pif Paf, Kirby or Gretton?

Your thoughts please.
