Re: Is Olympus 45mm fixed lens OK at Goodwood FOS?

Unless the OP is content always to shoot cars side on, I'd advocate zooms rather than primes, simply because the vehicles will be heading towards/away from him or her, and doing it far too fast to allow for lens changes.

Given that the event takes place out of doors and in summer, fast optics aren't essential. One option I'd consider is the Panasonic 14-140 mk2. I've used mine to good effect at airshows, which present a similar challenge of fast-moving subjects requiring rapid changes in focal length.
