brightline should be qualifying in the top 10 on the grid
I recommend bringing some chap stick with sun screen. In addition to the blistering sun burns I've got wind burn at Sebring before too. Also, plastic ziploc bags for when it rains (and it will).

For all members here, a place you must check out is the outside of turn 17 where the BMW corral is located. Your superticket will get you back there and a small bleacher is usually set up. There is a guard post set up to stop cars from getting through (unless you've got a paddock parking pass or BMW corral sticker) but just walk back there like you own the place. You can get some amazing shots of the cars rounding 17 right before the cars go under the bridge. A good 200-300mm lens on your camera is recommended.

Also be sure to check out the front straight right after Pit out just past the medical building. There is a small area to stand in against the fence and you get to hear the cars get off the pit limiter and go full bore.
