Anyone else going to Sebring?

what event?

chek out this vid. One lap around Sebring in a GT3 RS porsche racecar.

 

I drove the Evo down to Sebring from Canada in January for the PBOC Winterfest event. We passed through the Tail of the Dragon at Deals Gap along the way. Unfortunately, we ran into some serious mechanical trouble!

Great track, BTW!

I'm leaving for Sebring in about 20 minutes for the Touring and GT races today and I'll be back Saturday for the big show. If anyone else is going, I've got the WW with VII tails, Mustang wheels and the smashed in drivers side doors (****ing drunks...). I'll probably be parked over in the BMW Paddock.

 

the Aston Martin looks very, very, very sexy.......

 

Which Aston?

dang! I just got back, next time any of you go to a WC race come look me up at At Speed Motorsports (Volvo S60r's in GT). Ask for Paul the Driver/Coach

 

they are showing 12hour Le mans at Sebring right now on speed TV.... the Aston Martins look real nice.... fun to see a new car try to challenge the 550's and the vette's...

 

There was only two and they were identical.

You guys were very lucky to get to see it in person. I had to sit in front of the TV for 12 hours drinking New Castle. My head hurts today.

 

I misunderstood the original post. When f86sabre asked, "anyone else going to Sebring?" I figured he meant he was going to drive the track! (That's why I posted about my own trip to Sebring.) So, the Aston comment didn't make sense to me at first.

It was a cool race. The rotor explosion was a little wierd.

Sorry I wasn’t clear in my initial posting. I did mean going down for the 12 Hours. We went and had a great time. I didn’t see your car GVR4 and I wasn’t able to check this thread to know to come by to see you. In fact, through the whole drive there and back, and at the track, I didn’t see another Evo. I did have about 10 people come up and ask me about the car. As soon as I get some pictures resized I will post them here. The Astons did look great. It was great to see McNish charging at the end. The Speed GT and Touring races were good fun. GVR4, on of your SAABs was putting out huge amounts of front brake dust!

I think I saw your car on Friday, just to the left off the main drag in one of the parking areas, behind the Mobil truck with the choppers. Saturday ended up taking the Expedition to have somewhere to take a nap. Good race this year and better **** than I've seen in awhile.

 

Yup, that was me. The car was a mess, but I had to drive most of the way down in the rain…and I hadn’t washed it in a month.

For the rest of you, here is an onslaught of pictures. I’m afraid the resized smaller versions don’t always do justice to the big pics.

More Audi. I love how McNish's helmet was reflective.
