Sebring 2019
Anyone else counting the days???
I'm super excited about our campsite this year, have first timers coming from England, Holland, Romania, and Australia. The whole world knows what a big deal Sebring will be next year and I can't wait to show the track to these guys for the first time. Think they're going to be pretty stoked on the access we have at Sebring as over in Europe they don't have nearly the access that we do. We also have cute little backpacks for our first timers to wear. They'll be hauling around our drinks and snacks. Look for the following backpacks: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0...?ie=UTF8&psc=1 https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0...?ie=UTF8&psc=1 |

Looking forward to my third Sebring in as many years. Some new challenges with WEC squeezed in- the timetable is absolute madness- but I'm looking forward to seeing how it pans out!

Totally missed this thread. I had plans on going. Need to rally some troops (and myself) and see what's what....

IMHO you're not doing it right if you're not walking around all weekend. There is so much to see. How old is your son? Also, do you plan on camping all weekend? |

I think I've heard enough to persuade me to not part with the extra $ for the Gurney terrace |

Just know that traffic in and out of the circuit each day is going to likely be daunting (I wouldn't really know as I camp at the circuit when I go) and Orlando, depending on where you're staying is at least an hour and 45 away. That's a lot of driving but is worth doing both trips, if your time allows. |

Road Atlanta, went there once the year it was rained off after 5 hours, but it was still epic! We're on the SW side of Orlando, kind of abeam Kissimmee. The mouse had better be damn good for the cost of it! |

Once we get the site operational on Wednesday morning, I'll post some pix of it so you can find us. We have some easy to recognize decorations. This is where we are every year: |

You should consider sleeping in your rental car on Fri night with the WEC race not ending until midnight and the 12H proceedings starting early on Sat. morning.

Scotty - thank you very much, that's really kind of you. We'll definitely aim to pop by, assuming we can find our way round - I am guessing you are in the middle of what is called Green Park?
CoachEp - that's good advice. I've not actually seen a timetable yet, but will definitely consider the sleepover in the car idea. Cant wait now |

Had every intention to be there this year but an important wedding in Belgium will keep me away. With the St Pete Indy this would be an awesome Florida couple of weeks. Maybe next year but this year the Spa 6 Hours will have to do.

Heading out for our fourth visit - 2000, 2006, 2013.
From previous experience, this time will be bringing a small step to be able to shoot photos over the fence. Will be looking back at my 2013 photos and will post some on Flickr in the next few days. |

Years ago I bought terrace tickets. Not worth it IMHO. The shade is nice, but the view gets a little dull.

Nice photos! I still have a shot I took that year of one of the R18s with a nice background of palm trees as my desktop photo on my computer.

Had another Brit confirm yesterday. We're up to six international visitors in our camp now.
Man, have a feeling we're gonna see crowds this year like we've never seen... |

I've already concluded with the work I still have for the wedding there's no chance I can take a week out of town sadly. One day I'll get there but not any time soon.
