They are only photos though, how many of the budding photographers gained consent to snap the subject of the photo? There doesn't seem to be a rule on that one for the "snappers".
$50-$1000 camera vs $200,000+ car!!!
Or am I missing the point somewhere?

Yes you are definatly missing the point, especially if you think the value of the cars and cameras has anything to do with it.
If you are in a public place eg a race track you don't need the consent of the subject to take the photo. But it does give the photographer the rights to either sue or ask to be credited for the photos,or ask for them to be removed as they are being used without permission. Plus it saves PI**ING people off .
It is also polite to ask first.
They might "ONLY" be photos, but that does NOT give people the rights to use them without your permission. I suggest you do some research on copyright laws and also photographing people in public places like race tracks, and you may then get the missing points.
Posting photos on the internet does not give people the rights to do what they want with other peoples photos.
