Hey guys,
I would like to attend some of those events as a photographer. Do you know if all these require media passes of any kind or I should just show up and ask somebody to talk to? I would appreciate knowing what to expect since I will have to drive a couple hours to get to most of those events. Thanks!

Sad; I was going to offer free pictures to the guy that could get me access to the Quebec events. I dont want to get any money out of this; I just need the practice and the shots that will come out of it.

At LCMT, you could take pictures in the public access areas (which is near and around the start/finish - paddock area). But you won't be able to access the infield. The track has its dedicated photographer.

I hope the guy is good at what he's doing
Dedicated photog usually charges a lot PER pic because the event promoter gets a share. Oh well; for Quebec guys, if you see something in St-Eustache, Sanair, Mirabel, etc; just hit me up!

I am not a photographer, but I walked around tracks (beyond the stands) on Mostport and Watkins Glen with a professional camera during BMW club and Phoenix events, and no one said anything to me. Not sure if that's the same for LCMT. Of course, I'd recommend asking permission first if you are planning to use photos commercially.

I share your point of view. I'm not a pro; I do it for fun.
I wouldnt mind going and trying if I would live close to those tracks; but its always at least a couple hours away. I just dont want to cover gas money to be stuck in the stands to take pictures as a spectator. I know I wont get access to some parts of the track; like the center of the track, for insurance purposes, but i'm pretty sure there's some nice spots that can give amazing shots without puttingbeing a concern for the track owners or event promoters. I'm supposed to cover 5 of the 7 DMCC events this summer and would love to cover some lapping events also.

I will check my agenda tomorrow and plan on going to a couple events to those tracks.
Thanks for the insight.
