The qualifying session for the TUDOR United Sportscar Championship (TUSCC) series on the streets of Long Beach was held in the late afternoon. The low light and long shadows helped to create a lot of contrast on the track. Hope you like the photos.

Started the photo shoot on the outside of the Turn 11 hairpin. The #01 Chip Ganassi Racing Ford EcoBoost/Riley driven by Scott Pruett or Memo Rojas took pole position with a best time of 1:15.325 (Canon 5D Mark III, Canon 70-200mm f/2.8L IS II, 135mm, f/4.5, 1/800, ISO 100)

The #1 Extreme Speed Motorsports HPD ARX-03b driven by Scott Sharp or Ryan Dalziel (Canon 5D Mark III, Canon 70-200mm f/2.8L IS II, 135mm, f/4.5, 1/800, ISO 100)

The red livery on the #31 Marsh Racing Corvette prototype driven by Eric Curran or Boris Said made a striking contrast to the black tire marks on the street surface (Canon 5D Mark III, Canon 70-200mm f/2.8L IS II, 70mm, f/13, 1/60, ISO 100)

As the qualifying session continued, I moved down the front straight past the start/finish line for shots of the cars speeding “through the light and shadows”.

The red, white, and blue livery on the #5 Action Express Racing Corvette prototype driven by Joao Barbosa or Christian Fittipaldi really stood out in the afternoon sunlight (Canon 5D Mark III, Canon 500mm f/4L, f/5.6, 1/1000, ISO 100)
