Hi everyone I'm finally getting a chance to take the short drive south to Sebring next week for the big 12 hour race! It'll be my first sports car race, first road race actually, and I'm really excited for it.
To anyone who has been to Sebring or to an endurance race in general are there any tips or things I should know before heading out there? Any views that I can't miss from a certain area of the track? Things to bring?
Back about 10 years ago we used to go to the NASCAR Races at Daytona, Charlotte, Atlanta, Homestead and Talladega all the time so we've got a few radio scanners which I'll be bringing for sure.
As far as the race goes Audi won't be having their new R18 there so thats a bit disappointing but the farewell tour of the R15+/- (After the new restricting regulations!) should be interesting to follow. I've always pulled for the Peugeot, not because of the marque but because it was a closed cockpit vehicle, so I'm very excited to see the new Peugeot 908.
Tons and tons of other story lines this week as well. Can the new Highcroft/HPD LMP1 or any of the petrol powered cars compete with the diesels? In GT will Porsche, BMW, Corvette and Ferrari continue to dominate or can Ford, Jaguar, Panoz, Lamborghini and Aston Martin challenge for the podium?
Discuss!
