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.

That is a shame. I looked at the technical shots of the 2012 Indycar chassis and engines and I was hoping that he would shot similar pictures from the new LMP cars

Anyway the testing action starts tomorrow.

IndyCars weren't running the full course from the in-car shots, not sure if they turned any laps that can be compared.

I meant more than just Sebring. A good comparison to me is Laguna Seca and another new one is the Baltimore street circuit.

Yes, John is a star and he has already sent some across!

Had a lot of support from teams again, but a couple I don't know including ADR Delta side view. Have tomorrow for people at the circuit to help out.

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

It's just a show car. New chassis is supposed to be making its debut any time. Conditions not brilliant at the track right now.
