2014 IndyCar GoPro Grand Prix of Sonoma

A little late,but I thought I would share some photos from the IndyCar Grand Prix of Sonoma.Great weekend,except there was a magnitude 6.0 earthquake early in the morning of race day.Although there was significant damage elsewhere,the raceway was undamaged and the race went on as scheduled.

Congrats to Scott Dixon on winning the race.And to Will Power on capturing the Series' Driver Championship the following week at Fontana.

Also a speedy recovery to Mikhail Aleshin,who was injured pretty seriously at Fontana.

Anyways Here's some pics from the weekend.The entire set can be seen on my flickr page if you care to take a look.

C&C is always welcome.Thanks for looking.

Cheers,

Robert

Thanks BallerStatus.

I was using a 5d mark III with a EF 300mm f2.8 II w/extenders or a EF 70-200mm f2.8 II

Cool thanks for the info!

Nice series of shots!

Good stuff, Robert! I wanted to get out there but unfortunately couldn't make it this year. #2, #4, and #7 is that Turn 2?
