A Lap around Ridge Motorsport Park in a Drone

Full Preview: gotransam.com/news/Trans-Am-W...
The Trans Am Series presented by Pirelli West Coast Championship will travel to the Pacific Northwest with Sportscar Vintage Racing Association (SVRA) to Shelton, Washington, for a weekend of vintage and sports car racing at the Ridge Motorsports Park June 11-13.
A mixed field of nearly 20 Trans Am, XtremeGT and SuperGT cars will take the green on Sunday at 10:30 a.m. Pacific for a 100-mile race, or 75 minutes, whichever comes first.
It’s the first outing for Trans Am on the newly resurfaced and re-curbed 16-turn, 2.47-mile road circuit nestled between Mt. Rainier and Mt. St. Helens, just 25 miles north of Olympia, Washington. While it is the inaugural visit for Trans Am at The Ridge, the high-speed straights, sweeper turns and heavy braking zones should hold some familiarity for the drivers from the last round at Thunderhill Raceway Park. The circuit designer for Thunderhill Steve Crawford, also penned The Ridge.

It looks so much different from the air than it does from in the car.

One of the best tracks ever been too. And that includes even Road America and Circuit of the America's.

Hey not sure where to reach out, is it alright if I use some footage from this for a video I’m making for one of the record setters this year?

[@Built63]

Now set the drone to auto follow a car around the course and take scenic shots. the future of race videography.
