American Le Mans: Race Day Videos

I shot a few amateur videos during Saturday’s Le Mans race to give a sense of what it’s like to watch from up in the tower. You could see a ton of action from up there, as a lot of passing took place on the front straightaway alongside the pits (Mid-Ohio looks like this). The video below shows the B-K Motorsports Mazda passing one of the Ferrari F430s during a multi-car fly-by, and this one features an Acura prototype car passing the Falken Ford GT. See a whole bunch of the cars rumble past during a pace lap under caution, and see them enter the pits here. For a change of perspective, click here for some close-up video of the cars during the previous day’s practice from the infield side of the track: the tower you can see in the background is where I was stationed on race day. Definitely, the most badass-sounding cars on the track were the E85 Corvettes—you can hear one of those big-block V8s rumbling past here. Enjoy!
