The Tudor United Sports Car Championship (TUSCC) race on the streets of Long Beach was held Saturday afternoon under beautiful sunny skies. A field of 17 Daytona Prototypes (DP) and GT Le Mans (GTLM) cars raced for just over an hour and a half. After 78 laps the #10 Wayne Taylor Racing Corvette DP was first overall and the #25 BMW Team RLL BMW Z4 GTE won the GTLM class. Hope you like the photos.

Wanted to capture the start of the race from the grandstand that overlooks the outside of Turn 1. So walked from the media center, along the inside of Shoreline Drive, which is a very picturesque part of the circuit with an artificial lake and the Hyatt Regency Hotel in the background.

Their was also some cool water activities that looked like a lot of fun.

The Ferris Wheel reminded me of Le Mans.

Nearly there, with the grandstand on the outside of Turn 1 to the left and behind the grey building.
