Daytona 24 Special was so incredibly well done! This has been great for those of us who haven’t been to a 24 h race yet! You guys are phenomenal.

The Daytona course really helped get where I wanted/needed to be. This was my first Rolex24. Night shooting cars was one of the most rewarding photo taking experiences I’ve ever had.
