It has become an annual tradition at Racecast Weather to share with you the best photos that combine our two favorite things - weather and race cars. Nothing compliments the beauty of race cars like a breath-taking weather scene in the background. So here's the collection for 2017 - click to enlarge. Hope you enjoy them.

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.
