The #5 LMP2 Zytek 07S and #62 GT2 Ferrari F430 GT at turn 1

This past Saturday, Oct. 6, 2007, my photojournalism class and I went to Road Atlanta in Braselton, Ga. to photograph the 10th annual Petit Le Mans, a 12-hour/1000 mile race. Here are some photos from the last few hours of the race. Please check back soon, I'll be adding more from the day of racing.
