Where was that shot from?

Here’s a behind the scenes look at the location of where turn 1 photos are taken. There’s a scaffold that’s about 2 stories high at the end of the main straight, after the sand trap. On race day, it gets filled with photographers who start arriving about an hour before the race starts to stake out their position. Most shoot with a 400-600mm lens and hope there’s a crash. No crash in 2012.
