Despite the persistent claim that the skill of the photographer is all important, the reality is that high speed auto racing requires specialized equipment to consistently capture quality images. Standard equipment for any half serious sports shooter is a DSLR digital camera.

Camera Speed

In an environment where things can happen quickly and unexpectedly any appreciable shutter lag is unacceptable. Although a fast autofocus speed is a decided advantage, sometimes manual focusing techniques yield better results. Another important aspect of camera speed is its continuous shooting capability. This is important in capturing situations, such as a crash, where the situation changes rapidly and unpredictably.

Distance

The choice of shooting position is often limited due to safety considerations making a zoom lens the preferred choice as often it is impractical to move to the best position for a prime lens. While these distances may vary they are seldom close enough for most general-use lenses, so motor sport photographers need to use long focal length lenses to get close to the action. For DSLRs with APS-C sensors a zoom with a maximum of about 400mm is a useful focal length, and with the crop factor it gives the same view as a 600mm on a full frame DSLR. These large pieces of glass are expensive but one example of a reasonably priced lens is the Sigma 120-400mm f/4.5-5.6 DG HSM APO Autofocus Lens.
