Mind you I have >7000 photos to sort through from the weekend so I can forgive myself missing one angle, however iconic. It’s also a long walk round there and in 32C heat I was not as willing as usual to nose around possible dead ends. |

Welcome anytime! But you must not have been receiving the SIR newsletters (or not bothered with reading them perhaps) as it was pointed out clearly where and what. Anyways, I figured folks that enter the facility at Gate 4 would wanna check it out as it's right there. Put it on your list for next year I'd say! |

4,600 photos edited down to an album of just under 800! https://bit.ly/3NDu0Pn
There are more than 50 different shots here, from every angle I could find except that T17 bleacher that I learned of after I got home! Lots of backgrounds of fan contructions, the hotel, the airport, the trees on the top stretch, some glowing brake disks. The best car closeups are from the bridge, one of the only places it's possible to get some elevation above the track. The first block just over a page on the Flickr album) is final practice and qualifying from the Hairpin on Friday. The rest is the race on Saturday. One thing you can't see from these how brutally hot it was, especially for a pasty Brit! Sebring is awesome, but isn't a trip to be taken lightly. Next year I plan to do Petit Le Mans instead, unless my lottery numbers come up! Hope you enjoy . |

One has to wonder how all those folks in Miami will do early next month... Keep in mind Petit can be hot too - just less likely than Sebring but nevertheless. Again, give yourself ample time to get used to the different weather conditions and come early. |

The other thing is the sun is more intense in Florida (higher in the sky), and because Sebring is in March, people haven’t had a chance yet to acclimatized to hot weather yet. |

I didn't mean to spark a weather chat !
I'll plan to do Petit Le Mans rather than Sebring next year, but that's not a weather-related choice, it's because neither my bank balance nor my holiday allowance are unlimited so I can't do everything. Both those trips are expensive and burn 3 days of annual leave so I have to pick one or the other. I don't mind if it shines, freezes or pours . Anyway as I accidentally bumped my own post off the page, here's those photos again https://bit.ly/3NDu0Pn! |

Pictures from the Friday WEC race: https://bit.ly/3KYukX1
Not quite into-the-dusk as the race was slightly truncated and tbh I had bailed out at the second red flag, having seen lightning on the horizon and guessing correctly that this would mean the end of racing. Still, some nice long-shadow angles and a couple of shots from places I couldn't get to on Saturday. And lots from the back stretch with the trees in the background, my favourite Sebring vista. Enjoy! |
