Here’s our fist set of shots from the 50th running of the Rolex 24 at Daytona. It has been a great time and after 6+ hours of racing Porsche leads the GT class.

However that is not unexpected it is a wonderful site to finally see the Audi R8 in race form here in the U.S.
Head on over and check out the gallery from earlier today. Time to go shoot in the dark! Continue reading ‘Gallery: 50th Rolex 24 at Daytona’
