ROLEX 24 2017!!!! Pictures from previous ROLEX 24 at Daytona 2015 & 2016

Put together A Video from last year, very excited for 2017!!! coming up fast




UPDATE: PIC FROM ROLEX 24 2016

So this thread got pretty popular its from last year, so I thought I'd add some pictures I took this year, I have some videos also Id like to try uploading

was hard to get good pictures of the cars in the Grid this year, seemed like there was more people this time around, and rightfully so , the field was full of new cars! Huracan,M6,Ford,GT ect...













Waiting for the green flag!



COMP Package m3 was there too which you can see in the background Not sure why I don't have a better picture of it , Love the wheels, Definitely looking to order one soon! M2 Definitely way more of a looker in person! Definitely going to live up to the HYPE!





RCF race car looking aggressive!







Not forgotten! #25


Also Not forgotten lol !










Bonus pic I took the other day!


Sorry for the iPhone Photography, I have some more pictures I'll add! , Overall another great Year of the ROLEX 24 , Beautiful weather and the New finished Daytona Facilities are top notch, the grandstand was incomplete last year!

Did you all see that corvette on corvette Finish!!!! Hoping for BMW RLL AND TURNER To Win their Respective Classes In Sebring!

See you all in March?!

Ill make sure to add pictures and videos of both when I get a Chance!



--------------- 2015 ----------------------------------------
I took some pictures this weekend at the Rolex 24

I had a really good time it was my first time at the rolex 24 , I didn't know the layout of everything before hand and wish I would have brought my car to park it in the BMW Corral , but I know now for Next Year!!!

Can't wait for Sebring in March!!

BMW Team RLL finished second and fourth in this weekend’s 53rd Rolex 24 at Daytona on the 40th anniversary of BMW Motorsport’s very first race in North America and the start of the 1975 IMSA season for the iconic BMW 3.0 CSL. With car numbers chosen to honor that car, the No. 25 BMW Z4 GTLM finished second and the No. 24 BMW Z4 GTLM took the checkered flag fourth.

Congratulations and here's to more podiums in 2015!

Garage pass is good - a lot of activities, day or night, especially if staying for the whole race. Otherwise 2 day pass is enough (extra $5 will bring you Rolex baseball cup, very basic)

My pic above is closeup from Turn 1, where front tri-straight goes to infield, you can also see return to the Turn 2 banking and pitstops, if you sit high enough. There is no assigned seating, so you can seat anywhere you want.

How is it for photography with a pit pass?

We were going to do the Champions or Rolex club. Already have our hotel just deciding exactly what we are going to do.

Done Road America a few times with their photo pass for TUDOR and AMA Superbike.

We were at Sebring in Turn 5 and had some great shots.

Here are most of my shots from those events

https://ericptek.smugmug.com/

If your into photography I would highly suggest the Photo Pass at Road America. You go past the pedestrian barriers right up to the track in some places where the corner workers are.

I was standing on the other side of that barrier for his shot, probably was doing 150:

https://ericptek.smugmug.com/Road-Am...ca/i-wCf8BZq/A

Probably 10' from the track for this shot

Garages are pretty open for shots, and infield has minimal fencing, too.

Update: You will need garage wristband to get close - it is on Event Extras Tab in Ticket central
