Pick of the week

sebring sunset

Sebring is a classic test for endurance racing cars. The 2021 race will be no different. As the race goes from daylight into night, the race heats up. Cars go off as the track turns slippery in the dark. Traffic becomes even more difficult for the faster cars as they pick their way through the various slower classes. This photo was taken at sundown at the hairpin turn.
