Detroit Belle Isle Grand Prix Pics

HKYStormFront · 06-07-2012, 10:49 PM

this past weekend i caught back up with Brian Kleeman's SCCA World Challenge team in detroit for the Grand Prix. an event with great history, the race has not been held there in almost a decade but it returned (along with the american car industry) with a vengeance. i joined Dustin@Z1 down in carrollton and we headed north on i75 for what seemed like forever. the weekend proved unfortunate for the team however, when brian hit a tire wall towards the end of the second race of the weekend. luckily he was unharmed and the car has mostly cosmetic damage. the team is hoping to have the car put back together for mid-ohio in august followed a few weeks later by infineon (or sears point to you non-Gran Turismo players) raceway in california for the season finale. for now, enjoy...

album:

Pirelli World Challenge Detroit Belle Isle Grand Prix - June 2012 - JPMcG Photography

fav's:

1. i rented a 300mm prime lens for the event, it does wondrous things like this...

2. Brian in hot pursuit of the competition's only highly modded TT RS

3. stay on...

4. R8's always make for good photo's

5. mid-race in round one, one of the few green laps after the pileup at the start

6. Brian hugging the inside of turn 4

7. the start of the 2nd race of the weekend

8. the road changed pitch drastically in some spots

thanks for looking!

Nice stuff P. I'm hoping to get to the Grand-AM races in Indy this summer. Still debating about the Lemans/Indy races at Mid-Ohio. Same weekend as my 30th reunion. Haven't seen most of these people for 30 years and don't have much desire to. I'm thinking the races will win out.

Just bought a 100-400 lens.

This shot is extremely cool.

What kinds of speeds/aperture settings were you using for the moving side shots?

HKYStormFront · 06-09-2012, 08:35 PM

it varies depending on the shot. if you click the link to the album, find the shot you want to know the info on, move your mouse over it and a pop up menu will appear. in it, there is a "Photo Info" button, click that for the exif data
