BMW M3 GT2 – Long Beach Grand Prix

Long Beach Grand Prix 2009. ALMS series has the return of BMW with the Rahal-Letterman built BMW M3′s for the GT2 class. Since I was out shooting with StreetFire.net and always am packing my Panasonic LX-2- I decided to take a few photos of these impressive machines. Here are 24+ photos of the BMW M3 GT2′s from the 2009 Long Beach Grand Prix. Enjoy.

Note. All of these images were taken with my Panasonic LX-2 Point n Shoot. RAW files. Edited in Adobe Lightroom. I’m pleased with the Panasonic’s image quality for being a pocket camera. The Macro focus also allows for good control of DoF. 

Air jacks up. Spare wheels with rain tires are put on in the paddock to roll the car out to the pits. Then the proper wheels and tires for the track are put on- to avoid picking up gravel and wear during the move.

I like the lines of the stock M3- but the wide body design and diffusers on the M3 GT2 are really something beautiful. Plus being an all white car with subtle “M” badging and livery gives the car a clean look. Hopefully Porsche will not complain too much this time.
