Still enjoying the live races through the incar cameras and Radio Le Mans. My favorite was watching through the camera on the #55 Mazda watching the sunset and listening to the stories from Johnny O'Connell.
Was also working on other things and the smooth sound of that little high-revving Mazda engine going through the gears was a great backdrop. Suddenly, the little engine was quite and I looked and there were a whole bunch of tires in the scene. Looking forward to the Roku replays. One thing I am wanting to see are all the battle scars, dirt and grime on the cars that they were talking about on RLM. After a weekend of racing with the WEC holding a 1,000 mile race and then with the rain, they said the cars were filthy. Love seeing the cars all nice and shiny, but seeing them all beat up and dirty after a long endurance race with parts missing, taped up noses, cracked windows and big tire prints on the windscreens always adds a special dimension to the sport. |

A Cadillac win again, it's almost becoming as predictable as Toyota in the WEC . At least there's different teams running them I guess. Really thought the Acura had a shot this time around. I did figure at least one Mazda would catch fire, they seem to have at least one car burn. I missed a lot of the race but what I did watch seemed fun with the mixed conditions, wet dry, wet again. I can't say it was a 'classic' but those are hard to come by these days it seems.

Well Cadillac won because they are the best. Can’t really compare to other series. Looks like an action packed race. Conditions probably added to it. I think IMSA has something about it that makes it tick, which is good

I've written elsewhere about my first Sebring experience and the WEC race so I'll just add here: great event, great fans and I still love DPIs.

Well it always has been a great race and WEC was a great addition. This season has been no exception in what a great event it is

Pla says that he felt that the #77 had the pace to win if it wasn't for the crash
https://www.autosport.com/imsa/news/...bomarito-crash He doesn't mention the noticeable issue with the door, but the reason for that is obvious. |

Well teams always can use the what if story. Certainly this is one of them

It was my first visit to Sebring and what an experience it was. Friendly people, open paddock, almost no fences around the track made for many nice photo spots.
45 minutes before the race you could do the pits gridwalk without an extra ticket. Two races and also some support action meant we had some very busy days, |

Glad to hear everyone enjoyed it. Not surprised the paddock was open, why shouldn't it be? It's not a series where money talks to much. And it's a friendly atmosphere too. And of course support races are very important

What a race it must have been, different conditions, different light

I can't quite face going through my photos yet but had an absolutely stunning weekend at Sebring. Such a brilliant track, paddock and atmosphere. Can't wait to go back in a few years.

Bet your photos look great. Seems Sebring delivers. Just what it is supposed to do. Better go there while it’s still good

So anymore photos? They give Sebring the justice it deserves. Great event as ever. No wonder so many go

Anyone know when the full race replay is likely to be up on YouTube? Missed the race as I was at Albert Park for F1. The ten minute highlights are nice but would like to kick back and watch the whole race even if it takes me a week.
