Finally watched the last two hours of the race It was quite messy in the final one with two yellows... Still, great drive by Deletraz to take the victory and the Ligier LMP2 finishing 4th was fun to see.

Is the full replay up already? I missed the last couple of hours of the race as well, sounds like it was a typical hectic end to any race at Sebring.

I missed the start, but catching up now and watching a highlights video-how Rigon's Risi Ferrari and those around and behind him managed to not end up in a giant heep...

Some of the GT driving towards the end was a bit pathetic to be quite honest.
As the box crew say we only see parts of the action, they see all of it in the stewards room so some penalties or lack seemed harsh. I have no idea what was going on with penske at the end, their pit strategy seemed at odds with everything, and the car was clearly awful on old tyres early on. Felt sorry for Sea Bass, Caddy were dominant all day and maybe the car dropped off at night and the Acura came good, BMW looked very good at last and fair play to Lambo, I thought Grosjean trying to keep a lap ahead was superb and that race will do them good. But it all goes to the Ligier, 4th in LMP2, simply superb. |

GTP Pace guide.
Acura at the top, although the fastest Cadillac ended up on it's roof Over more laps Cadillac had the advantage, but fastest went to Acura. Interestingly the winner's 140th + laps are slower than the Porsches. Average Lap time (ranked top 100)
Chart shows the fastest by Top 100 for each. Also added the fastest lap and winner. |

Interesting that in both Daytona and Sebring , the Caddys were faster and more consistent from the start but by end of race others have caught up.
Is this a set-up thing or are the Caddys just full-on from start and the others just bidding their time? The Vanthoor brothers commented on how at Daytona all manus in the morning found an extra step whilst the Caddys did not and were caught up |

Sounds like a rough time for some folks trackside as the norovirus was going around.... Charlie. I can emphasize. 2009 PLM. Probably the worst time I've ever had at the track.
Also, what a beautiful shot. The second couch sacrificed post race. https://www.facebook.com/groups/3428...2399035632122/ |

Agreed, the GT battle got a tad iffy towards the end, all the restarts were bonkers and when you have a pack of 25-30 cars in just 2 classes with identical cars coming at you, it's easy to miss things! |

Stay on the insides of turns and it's fine. A lot of apexes have flood lights, and cars these days have interesting LED signatures along with the position panels. If you are a person that struggles with driving at night you'd probably still be fine. Just don't stand at the fence on outside of turn one.

Very tough blue flagging down the back straight from T17. Unless you have bionic eyes or something. Once the cars are basically parallel with you, you're fine and you can enjoy the sights and thrills at night time!

Daytona and Watkins Glen. Hope to get to VIR this year. Daytona I have found to not be too much trouble to watch at night since they do have the artificial lighting there. Especially right at the flag stand where it is brightest. Yeah I can't just watch headlights. I have a hard time watching the night time TV Sebring coverage. I usually just watch from the in car streams at night exclusively.
