No press pass, so stuck behind the nasty fences!
Thoughts, comments, critique etc all welcome and taken on board.

Hi Spesh I think the best shot is maybee 1/3 way around the corner with the car 3/4 facing the camera with the front wheel lifted.If this makes sense.I think this angle looses impact--jim

Being stuck behind the fence is difficult to overcome.
Even as an accredited shooter, it can be hard. There are ways and means to overcome it though. A can of black spray paint can hide the fence, especially if you are shooting for a B&W newspaper, with low res images. High res gloss magazine usually need shots through the photo point holes.
Manual focusing and shooting wide open can help hide the fence also. It isn't to bad in your images though, so given your situation, I'd be happy with the results.
Head on shots often suit the lower shooting position, but you work with what you have. In your second shot, I would be inclined to crop the piece of wall away on the left hand side of the image.
Personally, I'm not a huge fan of shooting street circuits for the very reasons you have. Indy and Homebush were so restrictive that it was frustrating, and to find an original angle was very hard.
