It was a weekend that was looking very promising. The team was running in tip-top shape. The car was running in tip-top shape. The Porsche works driver, Wolf Henzler, drove the signature blue and teal Falken Porsche to qualify second on the GT2 class. Everything was looking up. The team went to bed that night knowing that a podium finish was within
Well, the streets of the Long Beach waterfront have ceased to be a racing circuit and are now to back to being just.....streets. It's been a great couple of weeks in the LBC, and I want to wrap up my Grand Prix of Long Beach of coverage with some final photos and observations from both on and off the track. I wasn't at the track to see the World
What's up SpeedHunters - Round 2 of the American Le Mans Series at the Long Beach Grand Prix street course. It's the only street race on the calendar this year for the ALMS and it is also the shortest race of the season for us at only 100 minutes. From the longest of the year, Sebring 12 Hour, to the shortest. JOY is a lot of things if you ask
Now to continue Grand Prix of Long Beach coverage with some race action from the American LeMans series. The last time I'd shot ALMS was at Laguna Seca last year, so I'd had an itch for some sports car action for a while. What better place to take in some American Le Mans than on the streets of Long Beach? Here the #90 M3 takes turn one during
Another weekend, and another big event on the streets of Long Beach. There's really nothing on earth like a street course, and for the 36th straight year the streets of Long Beach were transformed into one of the world's most famous race tracks. While the Indy Car series might be the biggest draw of the Grand Prix weekend, it wasn't the
I often log into BMW's media site just to look at their photo album. Stunning selection of photography and this example is no exception. Motorsport fans will recognise the Blue and Red stripes in the distance as Paul Ricard, while the stripes on the 500bhp BMW M3 GT2 confirms this car as the new (European) Le Mans Series entry, which BMW Team Schnitzer
The Porsche 918 seems like a favorite amongst the car rendering community. This time I got an email from Joshua Cloud who runs Gurnade , that functions as a design firm. He emailed two versions, the one above is their street version with Forgestar wheels and the one below is their ALMS version. I'll take their street version. -Jeroen Willemsen
The bad thing about starting a twelve hour race at 10:30 in the morning is the food coma induced lull that blankets the whole circuit after 1pm. The top tier racing teams are fed well. How about some slow roasted barbeque catered in the pit lane, with mashed potatoes, corn on the cob, and many other southern delicacies? Southern sweet tea? How about
Remember those days that start of just perfectly, then gradually make a downward spiral into well, to be frank, a not-so-perfect day? The ALMS Falken team had one of those days at the 58th running of the 12 hours of Sebring. The day before the race, the signature green and teal porsche, qualified on the front row in the GT2 class. It was the team's
Napoleon Bonaparte, a man who conquered most of Europe during his prime, knew a thing or two about warfare. However, being a pragmatist at heart he declared "I do not want a good General, I want a lucky one". That expression could easily serve as a motto for the 2010 Sebring 12 Hours. Several parties used their 'get out of jail free card'
