GT class

For the afternoon session went to the outside of Turn 3. Fastest was Johnny O’Connell in the #3 Cadillac Racing Cadillac ATS-VR GT3.

Even under the overcast skies the white livery shone through on the #43 RealTime Racing Acura TLX-GT driven by Ryan Eversley.

Second fastest was Olivier Beretta in the #61 R. Ferri Motorsport Ferrari 458 GT3 Italia.

The dark conditions really made the lime green livery “pop” on the #54 Black Swan Racing Dodge Viper GT3R driven by Tim Pappas.

Was a little bit “artsy” in the exposure of the #20 Bentley Team Dyson Racing Bentley Continental GT3 driven by Butch Leitzinger who was third fastest.

To the right of Turn 3 you can get shots of the cars going under the Continental Tire Bridge into the steep Turn 4. Duncan Ende in the #64 Scuderia Corsa Ferrari 458 Italia.

Another “artsy” shot. Henrik Hedman in the #10 DragonSpeed Mercedes-Benz AMG SLS GT3.
