Really good advice! Enjoy Sebring certainly, but take care so that you can come back next year too.

I can feel my skin sizzling now!

Wish I was heading down, but in a a way, I am glad I'm not.

Skip the stylish black clothing too - no shade. Friend of mine made that mistake - once, surprising how much difference it makes.

I love to see the extra lights for REAL night racing! Those were not present at Daytona.

They weren't needed at Daytona. The place is lit up like daylight at night time.

Hence why he capitalized REAL.

Anyway, the black livery is amazing. Goes much better with the M colours.

Don't want to be "that guy" but....Sebring isn't in the everglades, those are 120mi south.

Nobody is talking about what you actually think will happen in the race itself. I think a smaller 47 car grid will be good and reduce FCY's for sure. I"ll be optimistic and say only 15% of the race runs under yellow. But there could be high attrition though under the heat that it should be at. No rain in the forecast at this point too. This could be one of the hottest 12 hours in a few years.

I pick the #10 Corvette for overall victory. It will be the usual players for victory with them the #5 and the #01. I will go for the #3 Corvette to win GTLM. I just hope that GTLM does not have any mishaps like Road Atlanta (the pit lane collision) and Daytona (Porsches colliding).

^I first looked at that line where you said predicted that 'Corvette' was going to win the overall race and thought "oh he thinks GT car is actually going to win through attrition". But then I read it again and noticed the number #10... just goes to show you how little I buy the public relations crap the marketing people are trying to feed us

Anyway. There's not much point in discussing what might or might not happen, or who has the 'best car' or strategy. They're obviously gonna have bunch of people on the lead lap at the end again and have 'super uber close shootout for the most epic finish in history of boogity boogity racing', because of you-know-what.

I'm off to rewatch the 2007 GT2 finish again. Because you can have close dashes without all the artificial nonsense

i am hoping the race will be covered by motors tv in the uk, i remember watching highlights on the bbc when i was much younger (ok 40 plus years ago) and it was this race and le mans that shaped by interest in sportscar racing

Schedule says Motors TV are covering the whole race so only the adverts to put up with.

Brilliant, thanks for that

It's not a coincidence that they're only switching from stream to TV for the last half hour - obviously the previous 3 hrs are irrelevant.

Have Porsche been given a waiver for a bigger front splitter on the RSR, but that looks bigger than normal to me?

For like half a season now. Having them unpainted unmasks how pathetically huge they are. More rear wing as well.

Made the group shot of the Porsches at CotA pretty hilarious.

Technically Sebring is in the "Northern Everglades". The Southern Everglades are what you are talking about.

I enjoy the series and don't even know what the viewing schedule is yet. It's good there are fans here to inform me.

Hearing from people at the track it's the biggest Wednesday crowd they've seen.

On track action begins shortly, and will be covered by IMSA radio

Cool. I love geography. It's all hot and miserable down there
