Default 12Hours of Sebring and the fiats

Fiats were super quick, but mistakes and reliability took there toll. It's what makes enduro racing interesting.

You guys are being unduly harsh on Fiats. Yes, the cars don't steer well and yes, the suspension only works on billiard smooth surfaces like Rodeo Drive (well, expect on the F2012 which doesn't appear to work on any surface) but the cars look really nice. Isn't that enough?

Cars are super quick and look amazing, looks like the real life street ****** were also driving at the track hitting everything and everyone around.
RSR's are not competitive anymore against those new chassis cars.
Let the new 991 come.
Also impressed by the cups qualifying at 2:06. That's insane fast

Porsche has dropped the ball in GT3/GT2. Competition is faster - more powerful with better technology. They need to catch up.

Disappointing to see BMW, corv, and ferrari place ahead. What changes are needed to be more competitive?

^ More displacement and a longer wheel base is a nice start. The 991 will go a long way towards this.

+1 on bier over sambuca. The BMW's, the team and their drivers are wired to win this year in ALMS.

I still can't get over that last lap.......incredible. Thanks for finding it Mike.
