Basically trackside, right up against the first line of chainlink
fencing, peering through a 0.5m x 1m photo-cutout. At this point
the cars are maybe thirty feet away from me, just past turn five.
If you want to see *close*, try this one from last year:

That's taken with a 21mm! The red line you can just see at the
bottom of the picture is the rumble strip beside the concrete
barrier at the apex of turn eleven (the final hairpin). Some
drivers come much closer to the wall - so close that you could
literally touch the car as it goes past.
