Looks like the Porsches had a great day a Sebring. They took the overall win with the RS Spyder and a third. Then the Flying Lizards took 1 and 2 in GT2. I only saw half the race as I had a committment for Saturday night. Glad to see them win out over the Ferraris and the Acuras. It was a very interesting race with the Peugeot running in LMP1 it certainly was fast but not very reliable. Just wish Penske would run in the 24 hrs of LeMans. Not sure why he doesn't enter.

The Acura was DQ'd from 2nd overall, so it was a Porsche 1-2, in P2,GT2 and overall. Couldn't ask for much more!

Eric, I missed that so even better. Also want to congratulate you on your enduro win even if it was in a BMW. Driving is driving. I am working for IMA Motorsports and they are now working on a Daytona Prototype with a twin turbo GT3 RSR engine. They are going to offer it for rental. So sign up now and avoid the rush. <img src="/forum/images/smilies/968/laugh.gif" class="smilie" alt="" />

Thanks! I saw the ad for that DP and wondered what it was for rent for? To see how fast you can scare yourself? That should be stupid fast.

Eric, that's a good question. As Marketing Manager I will address that in the next ad. The engine has been running in the GTP car that was an earlier story in Excellence. Ivan won't claim HP but it's at least 800 maybe closer to a 1000. It does seem to be a "little" strong but the owner of the GTP wanted to be the fastest on the track. He has been running in Porsche Club races.

The outcome of Sebring took some of the sting out of the Daytona debacle in Grand Am and the team defections from Porsche to Ferrari in the offseason.



Penske is not going to Le Mans this year but I think several privateers are going to run the RS Spyder.

I was at Sebring for the race, and witnessed the Porsche's fun. I didn't get as many quality pics as I liked, but I will post some. I'm a fan of the Audi R10 as well as the Porsche RS Spyder (my fave of course) and do have a very nice one of that P1 car. I will say it was stunning to hear/see them whip around the track. We were camped out just past turn 6 (sweeping mid-to-high speed straight just before the hairpin). Some interesting cautions, it was hard to tell why they were there, but not long after them the Audi and Peugot disappeared due to hydraulic and/or brake problems from what I remember hearing. All in all, a lot of fun, and a nice race to see! Now I just have to go see one at Laguna Seca and my two dream tracks will have been visited!
