Default Lightning for Sebring night races

Has anyone done Sebring at night? If so, do you need additional lightning besides Litronics on a 996 GT3 and what did you use?

Thanks

You should be fine with teh stock Litronics and keeping them on high. I ahve used the stock BMW basic headlights out there before. They were a little bit inadequate but they worked for the event. We upgraded the next year to the ellipsoid headlights with 100W bulbs (closer to the litronics but still not quite there) and they were a lot better. There is usually enough cars out there you can tell where you are and where the turns are.

Are you planning on doing the WinterFest 6 hour?
