Turn 13 at Belle Isle (Detroit) is called Porsche Turn.
Collier Curve, turn 11, at Sebring has relevance due to the Collier Collection of Porsches, some of which were at RR III.

Mr. Collier collected lots of stuff, lots of it handed down from other collectors...the Collier collection is pretty agnostic, brand-wise.
Sebring also has a "Hangar Turn", even though they tore down the hangar years ago. For two points, who can name the hanger's owner, and for another two points, describe the relationship of that owner to American road-racing....?

Howard Hughes, Indy 500 car owner? Total guess.

Group 44 ('cept I can't make backwards 44s -- knowing that should be worth at least an additional 2 points). SCCA and IMSA champ, droving British Leyland cars, especially Triumphs and Jaguars, including the Castrol GTP Jag that won a bunch of IMSA races.
Can you name the Warbirds that were in that hangaralong with the cars, Professor?

Wrong hangar. Keep guessing...it's the one "Hangar Turn" is named after, and no longer there...
Tullius' hanger was/is still there, I believe. There used to be a P-51 in there, until Brian F. crashed it. Don't know what else he's had in there, but he's had a whole crapload of cool stuff.
