914World.com _ The Paddock _ Sebring 2011 Winter Test Days

Thank goodness March is just around the corner and Sebring is not that far away.
The Pre-Test propaganda has 33 cars signed up for the test, it starts tomorrow and runs through Thursday. Support series have had Monday and Tuesday to lay some rubber down before the big boys get there tomorrow. Weather is very iffy for Thursday with rain forecast. I am going up on Thursday (my only day off ...no choice), the most significant car seems to be the debut of the new Ferrari. If anyone wants photo's of any specific car's let me know and I will snap a few. I wonder if Audi will be here for the Test days, they usually just rent the track for a few days and get the data they need then. The French Lion never gets there and blows everybody away with there speed, but Sebring jumps up and rattles them to death in most cases.
Let me know if anybody wants to see anything, Paddock is closed to us normal people so we can't get some of the really good shots.

I will post on Friday morning.

Audi tested the new R18 a week & 1/2 ago at Sebring along with the R15Plus-Plus

Audi is racing One R15 Plus-Plus at Sebring ( No R18), doubt they will be at this test

Hey TC,

Audi has 2 R15++'s listed.

Looks like a hell of a race. So, I guess the real question is how you are going to get your camping gear into that S2K...

URY,

Great photo's, I just got back I will go through everything I took today and post the best I have.

The Muscle Milk with the Aston Martin Engine sounds incredible and the smell of high octane was great, as both diesel teams were absent. My photo's tomorrow, they are not in Ury's league.

The Lambo broke in the morning but looked great prior...don't they all?

Ok,

Here are my pictures from yesterday, Ury I am glad to hear yours were done professionally, because I can't afford the photography equipment needed to get those shots.

Here is the requested photo's of the new Ferrari 458, looks good and can put the power down quickly coming out of the hairpin (turn 7).

I have more I have to figure out how to add additional photo's.

Additional Photo's.

Lambourgini Gallardo (I not sure on either spelling).
Went out in morning looked really good, then I saw it come back on a flat tow line to the paddock. The new 2011 spec 911GT3 RSR for flying Lizard was here in Black not painted yet - 045. Plus other 44 Photo's.
