Best weather report is the low chance of rain.

Warm front coming through Florida this week. Morning will be mid 70's and afternoon highs in the mid to possible upper 80's with 85-90% humidity. Very muggy and humid this week but only 10% chance of rain so I think you all can deal with it. Currently in Sebring it's 73 degrees and 87% humidity.
Nobody will be setting personal best at Sebring I would think.

Very simple:

The 3.8 GT3 RS engines go kaboom quite often, same for transmissions and clutches. Find a nice dealer to hopefully cover the repairs under warranty on a tracked car.

The 3.8 GT3 runs great and rarely breaks, the only downside (departing rear wheels) is being fixed under a recall.

At Sebring and Daytona, the GT3 transmission is better geared than the RS.

Isn't the GT3 and GT3RS basically the same engine? RS has slight HP increase due to ECU map. No?
