Carry 2 lenses with 2 camera bodies. DX Nikon is better than full frame for sports.
D200 with 70-200VR F2.8 lens for when the car gets close to you.
D7000 with 300F2.8 lens for when the car is a little further out.
you can also carry a 1.7X converter for when you really have to have the reach.
Crank up the ISO to about 400 to 800 (on the D7000), shoot in Aperture priority mode and set the lens at its maximum F-stop.
Have fun. Learn how to pan. Shoot from funny angles. Shoot with a fish-eye lens. Shoot in the pit lane as well as the track. Show the driver with their helmets off, with their emotion at lower key. Capture the details of the car in the pit lane.
