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.
