I've gotten some good results with Superia Reala, depending on the lighting situation. Funny you should mention ISO 160. I often have contrast problems at the track, especially midday: small, brightly colored objects with numbers on them, trapped between light green grass and highly reflective asphalt below, and dark green trees above and behind. Even given the care my minilab takes with their machine, the lighter areas often seem to get blasted out. (My lab guy used to shoot NASCAR professionally, and he admitted to having exposure problems with the concrete tracks on the circuit.) This season I'm going to try considering the middle of the day a high-contrast situation and try something like NPC or NPS. List, is that a dumb idea?
