Honda Indy

After skipping last year’s Honda Indy due to vacation plans – I was able to return to the street racing series festival on the Exhibition grounds. This 3 day festival of speed starts on a Friday with the Fan appreciation day which was sponsored by the Ontario Honda dealers.

The title race at the Honda Indy is the Verizon IndyCar series featuring the  2.2L V6 with twin-turbo charged engines.

Photo equipment for these photos were from the X-T2 and the X-Pro2 Fujifilm cameras. Lenses used were the Fujifilm XF 16-55mm f/2.8 R LM WR, Fujifilm XF 10-24mm f/4 R OIS and the Fujifilm XF 100-400mm f/4.5-5.6 R LM OIS WR. I have to thank Fujifilm Canada for the loan of the 100-400mm lens.
