Mosport - favourite vantages?

I have an opportunity to do some promotional photography at Mosport, and was wondering if anyone out there had some favourite spots from which to shoot. I've never been on the other side of the spectator fence to photograph, so I don't know how much it will differ from what I already have.

Hints anyone?

Corner 1 from the outside, corner 3 on the outside. You will need a long lens, minimum 300 mm. If trouble happens in corner 2 you can cover from 3 with long lens. Moss corner at the entry and also at the exit (if they let you)both on the outside. If you have a long lense corner 10 can be good as you can cover corner nine also. Again shoot from the outside. For this corner you should use a 200 or even less and also a 600 mm lens. Nice shot into corner nine, often that is the place the trouble starts. This is a lot of walking, wish I had a dollar for every time I walked around Mosport.
Good luck

As the track will be closed, I'll be able to drive all over to these spots (with the obvious exception of corner 5, where I'll have to park between 3 and 4 and walk).

I'm also thinking of shooting from turn 6 (outfield) to include the sign, and from slightly downhill of turn 4 to try to get some sky between the car and ground. I'll try to get two cars coming through turn 2 from the bottom of the corner, and on entry / exit of Moss.

I never thought I'd say I miss the old pits, but now I can't hang over and shoot from there... Is there an opening on the bridge?

Here's three that I happen to like.

Fuji beat the pants off Kodak, BTW. IMHO, of course.
