No just a large 2-car trailer owned by my friends Tom and David who own SpeedSouth (www.speedsouth.com) in B'ham.

I've pulled out my Rfactor setup and have been learning the track, looks like fun. I am a bit worried about the bumpy nature of the track. Is there anything special I need to do? I will nut and bolt as usual, but anything extra. Should I bring my old kidney belt from my motocross days?

You'll be fine...the only bumps that unsettle the car are track out of T1 and after the bridge at T17. There are other bumps and stuff but those are the worst. A softer suspension works better at Sebring generally speaking.

Note how he goes all the way down to 1st gear, however, in T7? Pretty long first gear!

I've got one set of springs for the car, so that's not going to change It shouldn't be too bad as I'm only running 600 on all corners, but I am fairly light.

You might find you can adequately soften the car and make it much more compliant over the bumpy sections, which are in key corners, using these alone. IMO however, you want a car that is not too soft, else it will suck on the parts of the track that aren't full of bumps, and where a car that is flat in the linked corners, and trail brakes w/o wallowing, will work well.
