Sebring Encore 2019
This race is interesting this year since we have legit GTD entries now. Especially the Sellers/Snow Lambo. Madison Snow's FIA status of silver is being recognized since this is not an official GTD race but rather GT3. Maybe some of the GTD BoP will be removed for this race? I think in March the LMP3 class dealt with some weather issues during their qualifying, but looking up practice 2, they ran laps in the 1 min 58 range. GTD cars with pros can run 1 min 59 I think. I bet they can run further on fuel too in addition to having better driver line ups. Would love to see a GTD beat the LMP3s. If rain is involved it could make their changes even better to win overall. So I do hope to follow this one on Sunday for sure.
But I agree with Mr. Dagys during his S365 podcast this week, he is not sure if there is much of a future for this event. However it could be a possibility for a potential endurance at Indy one day. Along with the potential for SRO or Creventic I guess. I know that is getting talk since Mr. Penske mentioned wanting to have a 24 hour race at IMS now.
