2015 – PWC GT Race #1 at the Circuit of the Americas (Mar 7)

Round 1 of the GT/GTA/GT Cup class started mid-afternoon under overcast skies. Was really looking forward to this race due to the changes made from last season which led to a field of about 50 cars for this race. Hope you like the photos.
