North East Grand Prix

Recommended Posts

Thought I'd share some of the pictures I took at the American Le Mans Series North East Grand Prix at Lime Rock Park in Connecticut over the weekend. Unfortunately cars at speed, especially P1s are hard to focus on with a point and shoot, so there aren't many in race photos. Humidity, overcast, and a lack of knowing how to change setting doesn't help either...

Pure luck perhaps? I was trying to get a picture of the emergency vehicle line up when the Lime Rock Park BMW Pace Car went screaming!

The car that should have won GTE-Pro at Le Mans: the number 3 Corvette Racing Corvette C.6R ZR1. At Le Mans it was the number 73 car

What's the definition of tragedy in motorsport? Making pole but having to start from pit lane because of a fuel leak! The number 55 Crown Plaza BMW M3 E92 undergoes final pre-race checks.

The car that made GTE-Am pole at Le Mans! The number 44 Flying Lizards Porsche 911 GT3 RSR powers out of Turn 6. At Le mans it was number 79. This is my favorite picture from the day. I'm impressed a point and shoot could deliver a picture like this.

The number 4 Corvette Racing Corvette C.6R ZR1 passing under the Hankook Tires bridge and going down the hill.

The most unreliable car in the ALMS GT grid, the number 23 Alex Job Racing Lotus Evora. While it's not a podium winner, simply finishing at Lime Rock was a victory for the team.

I took some videos as well but the video quality sucks. The sound however is great!
