Hey there race fans,
The latest edition of Rear View Mirror is here and chock full of Long Beach race weekend coverage, as well as a video tour of Turn 10 Studios and some killer photos of an exotic car meet. Of course, there is also, more.
So read up, and if you are hunting for gifts check out the exotics photos and tell me what your favorite shot is.
Happy RVM to you all!

ANother awesome read and excellent coverage.!!! Man you have the best job in the world!!! I must say its pretty hard to pick the best. But i think the old skool Caddy with the new CTS-V motor was my personal pic!!! That ride is killer!!! Thansk again for the great stuff and i await the next installment!!

Mine was the gallardo man that guy can take pictures!! Sweet what you guys get to do!! I mean the gallardo isn’t my favorite car but dang those pictures were insane!!! Keep up the great work!!
Favourite car has to be the CLK AMG, although not a fan of the aesthetic add-ons.
Favourite pic… hmm reckon I’ll go with the one containing the Aventador in the foreground and the 911 Classic in the background. Something special about seeing these two completely different approaches to the super car recipe so close.
My favorite is the Caddy. Don’t get me wrong, the Ferraris and Lambos are nice but there isn’t any thing quite as nice as an oldie! It looks like it was a great show. It is nice to see exotic owners driving them instead of hiding them.

I quite like the photo of the Aventador, isolated from the crowds and other cars by the shallow depth of field used. And seemingly lit by a break in the clouds.
I like photo #36, the one with the lowrider jobbie. I felt that it stood out from all the import supercars, with it’s old-skool vibe.
Number of amazing cars and wonderful photos. Makes me want to spend the next few hours in game just snapping away!
Photo 13 is a great shot to me, really shows the aggressive slant of that AMG. Great work with the RVM, Long Beach and all these photos. Thanks again
The Corvette ZR-1 shot through the hood is pretty awesome. I definitely have a soft spot for Corvettes.

For me, it has to be a Lambo LP700-4 or the Nissan GT-R. They’re cool rides especially I drove them on FM5. E63 AMG’s not so bad but the interior of the C7 Corvette is worth a surprise!

I love the shot of the ZR1’s engine bay through the plexi-glass hood. I love the perspective you get when the engine is framed within it’s own hood. Great shot!
oh man, I can’t believe I missed this! Living just a mile from RTC, I was holed up racing Long Beach Challenge, and then watching the live race, did not even realize all these great cars were showing right down the hill.
I like shot 47 best - sweet little Lambo giving the crowds some eye candy as it crawls through the tree-lined streets of RTC. Shows off the cars, the people, and the place in a fresh-as-Spring way.
In other news items - that Long Beach race was great to watch, despite the late-race blunder by #2 taking out all the top 3 - the newly released Forza 5 track, the multiplayer 2-hour Challenge race, and the race event on NBCSN coalesced to make a fantastic and eye-opening race weekend. It was something special to put in so many hours on races near the length they actually run, honing my times down to 1:16-1:17, learning the track, learning where I might still be able to shave a second here and there… and then see these are back-of-the-pack times at best in the real race.
Another great RVM John,been busy with LB but took the time to read it. The yellow Lambo SL is my favorite of the bunch,i have a soft spot for Lambos,thanks John!
Great article again, I really enjoyed vid with stadium trucks… these beasts are awesome :)! And nice pics also! My favourite is Enzo, that second unfocused one :).

Great article John. Really enjoyed the video as well and the pics are just awesome. Favourite photo for me is the Gallardo, but all of them are fantastic eye candy.
