Does anyone have any updated info on the official entry list that may differ from what is posted above?

Only 5 997's in the mix, and 3 of those are Flying Lizards!

Nice to see a Euro RS Spyder there, but whatever happened to the chassis' "allegedly" purchased last year by CET?

3 weeks baby!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

GT2 and P2 are promising.

 

I can't find my name on the driver's list. I guess that means I didn't make it.
The list is better than I expected.

 

It is certainly more diverse, IF the cars entered actually show up at race time. Quite a few no-shows at winter test for cars/teams that haven't been there before.

Looking at the CET website, they have the car, 2 known drivers, and a host of support staff. Still, they are off all radar scopes as far as participation. Their website says late 2007 (too late) to spring 2008 initial race date. Well, it's spring 2008 guys!!!!!! (At least in Florida it is).

If the RSR's don't match Ferrari this year, will Flying Lizards be the only team to field a P-car in GT-2 in 2009? (Yes, very early speculation, but this thread needs some spice).

 

My understanding is that Flying Lizard is testing the new '08 RSRs at Sebring today and tomorrow...

 

That's good to hear although I'm sure it will be a tought race for Porsches...

This is an entry list all the races should have!

That reminds me, in Europe, there are Corvettes & Saleens racing in Le Mans series, why aren't any of those cars here in states?
Seeing GT1 or is it called "Corvette Cup" with two lone Corvettes "racing" it's just pathetic and stupid.

 

This just in: on a side-note, I was at Sebring this past weekend with SCCA and on Saturday there was a fire in the new wing of the Sheraton Four Seasons. Don't know the full extent of damage, but it took a lifetime for the Sebring FD to get there.

 

I'll be pulling in Wednesday night and setting up camp in turn 10 with about 7 to 10 people. First time to Sebring!!! WOOHOOO!!!!

 

If you can find a space, you'll be right in the middle of the Sebringfans group. Their WFO party is Thursday night. Check out http://sebringfans.com. There were already about 25 motorhomes lined up at Gate 3 waiting to get in!

 

Doug,

The people who I will be camping with are from the SebringFans group. They have about 30 years experience collectively going to the race. I know all about the WFO party and have ordered my first Drinking for Holland Tshirt. Can't wait. I have attached my updated version of the 2008 poster. Note the flames and smoke from the hotel!

 

here is where camp looney toons will be

 

When I was there for the 48 hrs, it looked like they were putting the finishing touches on the exterior. Major suckage.

Who's parking in the Porsche Corral?

 

I am driving over in the morning just to check it out for a few hours. I am debating on driving my Porsche over or not. Suggestions? Does the Porsche coral get full early?

 

I would suspect that if you do not pre-purchase your corral ticket, that you won't be able to park there, whether the lot is full or not.

For many years all you had to do it go to your nearest dealer and get a free ticket to be able to park in the corral. It's a different ballgame now. If you do park in the corral, you get the opportunity to drive the track (not a big deal to those here, but many a Porsche owner has never set a tire on a track or auto-x course, so for them it's something special), and there is usually food and drink available (event dependent).

The Porscheplatz schedule is found here: http://www.imsaracing.net/2008/car%2...rscheplatz.pdf

 

Anybody else find it interesting that ARC is running a 96 RSR? Wouldn't be something if it bested the 997s?

I'm sure Porsche will see to it that it does not happen. Engine management control in the hands of the competition.
