Sebring has been that way for years, that is its normal and part of the series, that's on them not the track. LM isn't exactly billiard table smooth everywhere either, ok not Sebring. Calling sanded smooth tracks normal just gets me going, I would prefer anything other than that why isn't it laser levelled we can't build a car for sh excuses.

It seems every time we get a yellow the gap to the cars behind the Toyotas gets considerably larger?

I think that if you think of fighting for the win at Le Mans, or doing well in WEC in general, you should do testing at Sebring.

Not only is it a fantastic track to drive for the drivers, it will really test your mettle.



Why Glickenhouse didn't do any testing is just baffling. I have never managed to figure out how serious they are about their program.

This.

The skill to this rule set is not outright performance it is useability and consistency. If they need an extreme to operate at their peak then they have missed the brief.

Only Toyota want to lead their class today, everyone else disrespecting the bumps and dropping out of lead positions

Edit: Can't wait for Lopez to get in, I think that'll be their best chance to chuck it off the track

Trouble for the #98 on lap 98...

I can't say Dalla-Lana has had a particularly good stint. Ran wide a few laps ago and now has a puncture.

I’m watching the race in person, and the van wall car literally is as loud as a fighter jet breaking the sound barrier you can not here any other near it.

Brilliant.

Apart from when the Peugeot hits it

Which turn are you at?

Yeah it's always about money isn't it. I guess just showing up and race at Sebring is quite an experience even if you know you have no chance.

The Porsche cars looks decently solid in this race, compared to Daytona.

At the moment it looks like the Porsche can hug the apex a bit better.

Nice pass by Estre, there. Porsche vs Ferrari, always a great fight, be it in the movies or in real life.

5-7 on driver's left, unless he means he's buying a funnel cake at the shops.

Midway can refer to a main grouping of stalls and shops in that area.
