Default Joey Hand is THE MAN!

"I broke deep in 17 and was prepared to put him in the tires...." Classic! What a stint he put in to win the GT race.

One of the most deserving/satisfying finishes I've seen in awhile....

I love how the classless Ferrari guys try to take out Joey on the last lap and it ends up taking them out. What a bunch of a-holes.

yeah that was some BS, glad they got the win in the end, or else I'm sure there would be some fireworks post race (more so than usual)

Were the Ferrari's punting everyone today or just the Porsche's?

You say classless, I say a$$holes as well.

Too bad there was no need for the tire wall in T17 because he deserved it.

Great race! Awesome drive by Hand, amazing that it came down to a last lap sprint race after 12 hours!

similarly great finish to Petit last year, though the battle was for 2nd and not the win. (though it did have MFR championship implications)

congrats joey hand he is the man on this day. Great drive. Serious when I say ferreri is bunch of douchbags. they desurved to drop lower than they did for such bs driving in the sebring 12 hours race. Not impressed with the fireari classlessness forsure. No question about it. Hand's speach at the end was priceless. congrats hand.

Ferrari are pissed off because their new F1 car sucks...their displaced aggression showed up at Sebring evidently.
