Zoë - thanks for the comments. Donington's not a bad circuit for photography (and an excellent circuit for bikes). You need to pick your spot, I like to be near the Foggy Esses, from there you get a good view of the race and some opportunities for photography. You can get some decent shots near Starkey's Bridge and from the inside of Macleans as well (although I think Macleans is out of bounds just now). A 300mm or 400mm lens is required for all these locations though.

It's worth going to the smaller events like BSB as you get better access, you can stand in the paddock and get great shots of the end of the Melbourne hairpin.

I've put a couple of images from Donington in my gallery (below) and there're loads on my site if you're interested.
