Each year at Racecast Weather, we collect photos through the year of our two favorite things - weather and race cars - and pick the best to be featured in a final post to close out the year. Due to the restrictions on race attendance, we have fewer photos in the gallery than usual, but the quality is as high as always. Thanks to the extremely talented photographers who took these photos - credit for each pops up when you hover over each image. Click on each image to view a larger size.

Scott and I both have a passion for weather and motorsports that began in childhood. We started forecasting weather for open wheel and sports car races a year ago as a means of combining two of our favorite things. We're excited that we can be a help to fans, teams, and race officials by doing what we love through Racecast Weather. I also love weather photography and racing photography, so here's a collection of some of my favorite photos that combine the two.
