Robert, if you get right up to the catch fencing then if you press the lens hood against the wire fencing then it disappears!
Serious
Good point, if no light can reach the fence wire it can't be reflected back to the sensor...
A nice long lens hood adaptor... Roll of Lino anybody? Am sure a two foot lens hood would solve this. Off to the workshop...

An alternative is to go to the racing team manager and say to him that you will provide them with images for the team use but you need better access. A press pass or racing team access pass will get you into press areas.
I have looked at this, on practice/testing days you can actually get away with quite a lot, but on race days when the public are admitted the security is very tight, they are talking £5 Million Public liability insurance if you can persuade them to give you a pass. Going official gets very expensive very quickly.
I get at least one testing day per meeting, so I need to take advantage of that. Just for getting pix of the cars that's OK but there is no substitute for racing proper.
