This is one I get asked a lot.

I don't have all the all the answers, but this is what I can tell you about the media accreditation process, plus some thoughts on how to achieve what it takes to shoot from the other side of the fence at motorsports events.

We all start somewhere, and that includes every single person who's trackside at Formula 1. But remember that photo credentials are limited — if you get a vest, it’s quite possible that someone else was denied a vest, so keep that in mind, and be respectful to everyone.

(a lot of the Broll footage in this video was shot for that video)
