WEC/ALMS Round 1: The 12 Hours of Sebring
Here we go, what a way to start off the season - a combined WEC/ALMS race. And not just any race, it's the 60th annual 12 Hours of Sebring! On track action kicks off (officially) on Monday morning at 8:00am local track time, but some teams will be testing this weekend. Other highlights of the week include night practice on Thursday, and qualifying on Friday afternoon. The race starts at 10:30am Saturday March 17. The weather will be hot and sunny so I hope everybody can find a way to watch or follow this race, it should be a great one. Below are some links you might find useful in the lead up to, and during the race.

Anyone know anything about Tom Kimber Smith? He's tweeted to say he's off to Sebring. Going for a holiday or a last-minute drive?

Add Uwe Alzen as the third driver in the BMW Team RLL #155. John Dagys tweeted that "it appears that Roberto Gonzalez is the third driver in the RSR Racing PC #9, and Rene Villeneuve is the third driver in the GMG Racing GTC #32." According to JD, he has heard some interesting names for the last seat in the BMW Team RLL #56
