GT2: 2007 Twelve Hours of Sebring

Was that like the 1970 race in any way?

Unbelievable. It wasn't clean but it wasn't a move that should be penalized.

I was yelling and shaking my computer because the incar feed kept cutting out. It cleared up just enough to seen the intire last last. An amazing finish for the GT2 cars. I was screaming thinking we got it, then all of a sudden out pops the 430.

No, kidding. Penske had a year prep on them and were still plagued by reliability issues. Acura did it right. Their 12 hour test race was a great move.

what makes you think it is the alternator , Porsche has not made a competitive racecar in 20 yrs and the last one was run by the same Mr Joest , whom they shafted , causing him to jump ship to audi and that car was a TWR , ex-works Jaguar chassis with Porsche power, team ran by Joest.

They need to wake up and get competitive or stay home and build the best SUV money can buy ....

Porsche will get it together fast...It seems like the past couple of years Sebring has not been kind to the RS Spyders....need to get some gremlins out of the electricals....Wait 'til St.Peterburg!

Unfortunately , St.P is not Sebring , if they win 10 of those it will not be like winning Sebring.............
