With Sebring right in the middle between the GA races at COTA and Barber time might be a problem, depending on how series the planned modifications are. At least if the car were a regular season GA entrant. OTOH, a team like Spirit of Daytona that has two chassis might be an option.

No way it's Toyota, if that would even be a remote possibility we would have heard something by now.
It's probably something rather boring such as another GTC car. |

But Dagys clear said in his article that the entrant will also be doing the post-race test (with Audi and someone else I can't recall). It's got to be a major team from somewhere.

Like others, my first thought was a DP team. Doing the post-race test at Sebring would make sense in the context of figuring out how to achieve the performance levels they are targeting for 2014.
And like others, I hope for Toyota. I don't see it, but if you think we'd have heard by now, I want to say we didn't hear about Toyota doing two full-time cars in the WEC until they announced it. Maybe they're good at not leaking information? I would definitely assume that it is either an entry for Le Mans or for "The Future," as those two kinds of entries would make the most sense to do the test. What if the surprise is a C7.R running unclassified? Is that even remotely possible? Just throwing crap out there, as ever. |

Surprise early debut for the Manthey 991 RSR? * wishful thinking*

Maybe Total decided to pony up the $$$ for Toyota to run Sebring.
I'm just saying stuff that I want to happen at this point. |

It's definitely not the Deltawing Coupe, Panoz specifically said that the convertible will be raced (for the last time) at Sebring and the coupe will debut at Laguna Seca.

That's why it would be a surprise wouldn't it...?

Starworks in a P2? |

Here is what Dagys wrote:

A U.S.-based WEC team doing Sebring wouldn't really qualify as a surprise. Hard to imagine GTE-Am teams coming to the US to test. That leaves the remaining two P1 teams (Toyota -- but they don't test in the U.S, Strakka), a European-based P2 team (besides Greaves obviously), or a GTE-Pro team. Of the three WEC GTE-Pro teams, Aston Martin Racing is already coming. AF Corse would be kind of redundant. Which leaves Manthey with a 991 RSR. Manthey may not be the answer, but it seems the most logical guess based upon the limited information available. |

Maybe 8Star's P2, since it appears to be sitting idle otherwise? They'll be there for Lites already...
