MaskedRacer User has been fined for unsportsmanlike behaviour!
I would prefer the WEC to start later myself to get more daylight racing. Much more TV friendly. I usually just listen to the last 3 hours of the 12 hour race because I can't stand watching headlights glaring in my eyes on a TV screen.

Understand a lot of purists like night racing but I am going to reject that notion. Racing in the daylight is a millions times better. In fact I would go as far as say that the 12 hours of sebring should start at around 9:30 or 10:00 am instead of 10:30 which is what it does now.

Who cares about TV, it's all about experiencing it in person - racing in the dark outscores racing in/under light(s) by at least a million to one!

What Ep, said. I like following the race on TV in the dark just fine, but the best option is being trackside for night racing. Go to Sebring for a week next year, Thursday's night practice will have you loving night racing above all else.

Yes, the length of the race has changed from 12 Hours to 1500 miles which should take a little longer than 12 hours to run. Also the drive over bridge to green park is being torn down after this years race and replaced with a 2 lane bridge that can accommodate RV's in case people want to escape before the WEC race starts.

I thought it was already replaced?
