And, for more interesting flavor, here's the BoP for the GTPs for this race.

Acura. 1055kg. 512kw

BMW. 1030. 506

Cadillac. 1060 520

Lamborghini 1044. 513

Porsche. 1049. 508

Now, let the discussion begin...

The Ganassi Caddy and the P&M Corvettes have gold liveries for this race. Not yellow.

Also the #120 Wright Porsche is green and yellow. The Peak sponsorship from Daytona is gone

Wasn't the Wright car in Geico livery for the Pitt movie deal?

They look more gold in some images. DSC has the other new liveries for the Wright, and Paul Miller cars. And the gold lexus looks fantastic vs the exploding highlighter they usually run

Looks like some weren't pushing too hard, one of the Penske cars behind LMP2s.

I was wondering about that. Didn't seem to be a big gap between gtp and lmp2 so far. Are track conditions that much different this year? Or is it the tires?

Interesting event schedule for the Weathertech series.

Thursday: 3 practices
Friday: Qualifying
Saturday: Race

That is it, no warm up, no practice before qualifying.

Is it cool to watch Porsche Carerra Cup and Lambo Super Trof in person? They are a BIG part of the Sebring agenda this week I see.

Porsche sometimes, Lambo not really. Carrera cup has some decent racers. I've always thought the Lamborghini racers turn processional pretty quickly.

I haven't seen the Lambos in a few years but the Porsches are fun, even if there are usually only 1-3 cars that can actually win. Mazdas are fantastic on any single course, run 3 wide through a corner, nose to tail 6 in a row, it all works.

Also, Caddy front row. and Winward Merc sent to the back for an unallowed sensor found after qualifying.

I had higher hopes for the Lambo series but they seem to have settled in to fewer up and coming kids than Porsche runs but I'm guessing some of that is the teams running and development. But they make a nice noise over the flat 6 abomination, I've said it and I'll stand by it. Don't agree, well that's just cause you're wrong
