ACI Motorsports at Watkins Glen | Porsche Carrera Cup

I spent last week in New York with ACI Motorsports photographing and filming the Porsche Carrera Cup races at Watkins Glen.

This was my first experience shooting cars at these speeds - I’ve been lucky enough to get some access to racing prior to this; I covered the Chattanooga Motorcar Festival for two years, and one WRL race at Barber last year, but this was something else.

The challenge of catching shots as the GT3s were moving at 160mph was exhilarating, and I loved every minute of it. Learning to nail the perfect pan shot was a very fun discipline, and I found myself literally shouting with joy every time I got it right.

I really enjoyed being in the paddock too, and being able to capture some of the personality of the team and drivers was wonderful. I hope to do it again soon, with another race at Road America coming in August.

Here are a few of my favorites from the week - you can find the full gallery at https://gallery.mreiterphoto.com/acimotorsportswatkinsglenjune2022/
