I missed it, irritating.
Don't know if there is something wrong with my head. Looked at the IMSA app and got the impression that the start was on Sunday afternoon. Woke up and saw that "we" already won.

I was there. Great race and event. The RSRs were the best sounding cars in the group:

Watched almost the entire race. Captivating and exciting form the jump. That’s what racing is supposed to look like! Daytona was a noozzzzze. Pilet’s pass of the Ferrari after losing the lead to it in pits was amazing. The race really drove home what a meat grinder Sebring is.

Never drove Sebring but would love to now. What a challenging track. My hats off to Trakcar who runs his .1RS there all the time. Makes me even more happy impressed with both driver and car. That last turn before the bridge... holy chit.

Thats weird. The first 2 stints were split between FS1/2 the third was FSGO app (stream, through cable with password, pretty straightforward) and finished on FS1. Sebring is a nasty challenging track right? From afar it's looks rundown and could use some love! Such heritage though!

Then again, my Myers/Briggs testing showed I have no empathy. Maybe I have the anger issues!

Great weekend!

I was there Friday and Saturday; good to catch up with friends in the Porsche suite. I was also fortunate enough to spend the last 2 hours of the race in the 911 's hot pits. Got a good video of Tandy's last pitstop too.

Champagne flowed in the suite as the Sebring crazies burned couches!

Waxer. Do you think that car had sofa’s? I think maybe my next car I will do PTS red, black and white combo. Looked cool. I really liked the PCCB’s. The only problem was that gaudy wing. Oh gawd they should have gone with the Touring. I know it would have been faster because those are better than the 991R.

Seriously that was an amazing race. Didn’t watch the whole thing but was fun to watch for sure. I was hoping for a better result from Graham and Team. He is a cool dude and I like those drivers.

Video please! And I have feeling this thread has the potential to be great theater!

Damn, I missed going to Sebring for the first time in a decade, only to be one of those years! Did see a whole lot of the coverage. Interesting to see that the powers that be allowed Porsche a few more liters of fuel (actually two) after they had taken three away at Daytona. Tandy drove beautifully. Pilet had his bumper stuck to the Ferrari for a while until overtaking. The P cars were not the fastest at all, but came up big. The BMW though seems to be a torque monster. Watch it on short races. The GTD P cars continue to be a disappointment. The GTD P cars do not seem to be competitive in their current state, I assume Porsche must must be working on more favorable adjustments.

Would it be heresy to say that I would not be surprised to see some architectural changes in the future?
