What is your favourite Enduro after Le Mans?
For me it is the Spa 24 hours, although I prefer that race more than Le Mans anyway, but I dont want this thread to turn into a Le Mans is better than Spa 24hrs thread, even though I know Im in the minority.
My question is what is your favourite race after Le Mans. 1: Spa 24 hours 2: Sebring 12 hours 3: Road Atlanta 4: Nurburgring 24 hours 5: Other (if so what?) For me its number 1. Last edited by SALEEN S7R; 24 Feb 2003 at 01:54. |

Sebring, as I prefer sports-racers to GT and touring cars

All those GT endouros bore the heck out of me. Thousands of nameless Porshe 911s...

I voted for Petit Le Mans, but I like Sebring as well.
Spa is a nice race, but there's only GTs... |

I think the new 24Hr in Bathurst could be a real future classic. Of those listed though I would say Petit LeMans then Sebring. This is because the track at Road Atlanta is far more interesting than Sebring. Sebring is great however as it is the season opener and gives the first insight as to who is performing well this year although
for some teams it is little more than a warm up and test day for the big race in June |

Sebring, hands down. It's perhaps the oldest *real* sportscar race run in America today, with real international flavor.
Daytona might be as old (or older)but note that I said *real* sportscar race. Later, all |

I voted for Spa, but, ZXKawboy, isn't Sebring older than Daytona (as well, obviously, as being better)?

Sebring, I'm not big on the track itself. However it always has a great turnout, and your introduced to the new cast of characters for the season. Thinking that possibly someone might pull a rabbit out of their hat and beat the favorites!

Seeing as it's so close to me and i can attend, it has to be the Bathurst 24 Hours.
Prior to 2002, it was the Spa 24 Hours |

Sebring..without a doubt....
The excitement of the early season "coming out Party" for many who look ahead to Le Mans, plus the old airport elements of the course offer opportunities to pass.... Petit also has its good qualities, but I haven't attended there yet... I went to Sebring every year when I lived down in Florida....a great atmosphere for the racers, the fans, etc. |

Anyways....If you think Protos are OKay, and GTs are the best.......then why is it BETTER to exlude cars? IMO, GT class cars in the ALMS and LeMans aer a joke and snore(thanks to thousands of droning jelly bean 911s), yet the FIA sports car championship I find boring and uninspired....Why? Because great sports car racing has ALWAYS been teh awsome display of diversity within one race. So bascily, I dont understand why you think MORE variety in one race is a bad thing. |

I had the luxury of being within 2 hours drive from Daytona and Sebring when I lived there...
I went to both races...every year... Sorry FastJoel31, but Daytona doesn't even come close to Sebring... However, I would love to see ALMS or an internationally-attracted field like at Sebring or Petit run again at Watkins Glen (Never been there but it is beautiful on TV)... Three other tracks that is "Wish" had endurance races: Mid-Ohio Elkhart Lake Virginia International Raceway |

Of course.
The fact that you're wrong is immaterial....... |
