The TUDOR United Sportscar Championship (TUSCC) series race on the streets of Long Beach was held in the mid-afternoon. The 100 minute race was won by Scott Pruett & Memo Rojas in the #01 Chip Ganassi Racing Ford EcoBoost/Riley. For something a bit different, decided to do illustrate this story with black and white images to better isolate the cars from the busy background. Hope you like the photos.

Started the photo shoot with the pre-grid. Here’s Ed Brown or Johannes van Overbeek in #2 Extreme Speed Motorsports HPD ARX-03b getting into position before the race (Canon 5D Mark III, Canon 70-200mm f/2.8L IS II, 200mm, f/4.5, 1/1600, ISO 100)
