Asquared.....Sebring has many great viewing spots. The grass berm on the outside of T3-6 is a good spot, in addition to the inside track spots of T-11 (Collier) and T-14 (Bishop) which VR mentioned above. The outside passes required at Bishop are great to watch it s a very fast turn.

This from Bergmeister's FB page this morning:

"-9°C this moring. I hope Sebring will be warmer!"

Maybe TRG #68?

Another vote for Bishops. Favorite turn on the track to drive and watch. The safety pin is good also. Lots of passing on entry and if you get a good spot you can see down to T10.

Dont miss the Friday support races.

Bishops is nice and so is 10. Actually , if this is your first time, asquared, I recommend renting a golf cart and trying out all the places and then pick your favorite, each has its own flavor.

Looks like great weather (at least to someone that lives in Chicago)

Thanks for all the recommendations. I don't think a golf cart is in the cards, but we have 12 hours to get to each of the corners.

Offer for beers is still open (I have one taker, looking for others).

I would greatly appreciate any and all recommendations.

I'm always happy to buy the first beer if anyone wants to meet up on Saturday.
Long way to go for a few Chicago people to meet up but I'll be down there...

991 GTE won't be making a debut until June at the 24.
991 RSR is scheduled to be at the opening round of WEC - April 14th at Silverstone. Two cars with Manthey racing. Jorg will be in one of the cars.

Just arrived on track. I have to say, the sense of history here is palpable. Qualifying starts in 5 Mins. Rock on.

Onboard cameras only for CONUS. Cool to watch the Cups outdrag the GT class down the straight sections.
Z4GTE's are looking good at the moment.
