Why did you spread the pics into multiple threads? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/confused24.gif)

That's per post. You can have as many posts per thread as you like. Each post having pictures.

No need to start a new thread for each picture ...

Vysoc, Thanks for the photos.

I am still debating whether to attend this year or not. The LMP1 and LMP2 car count keeps dropping. Great GT2 field though. We'll see.

+1. Kick Ass! 25 days to the race! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/aktion035.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/aktion035.gif)

Where were you in turn 17 when you got the Aston Martin on 3 wheels? I want to get some shots from there, but the Porsche Platz is there with restricted access to the grandstand in that corner. Plus there is that high safety fence.

I read the Jag is just getting competative with the GT-C cars! It doesn't sound like a long race for RCR.

Zimm, during the race weekend just walk into the PorschePlatz like you own the place. That's what I do.

I was expecting multiple pictures from TC as he gets the really good stuff. I got up this morning and drove through the rain from Bonita and Hour and a half north to Sebring, rain cleared in LaBelle and by the time I got to Sebring things were really clear and dry. Took these photo's and was back to work by 1:30. There were alot of new cars on the track, the early off is the new group of Prototypes in turn 3, the BMW also tried its hand at orange sand plowing. The new Jaguar was on hand, remember it is the official car of the 2010 Sebring 12 Hours, they now have there own bridge. Unfortunately it is very early in its learning curve. what did they say in Animal House? Slow, Big & Ugly is a no way to go through life?...its not that bad but it did not look good...I do have photo's and will add tomorrow. Just my opinion but the two new Patron Ferrari's looked pretty impressive, the Falken Porsche looked to be noticebly quicker and the Gulf Livery Aston Martin was just awesome even though they spun coming around turn 17 in front of us.
Can this be true no Audi this year, I spoke to a local that said they rented the track for 30 hours after the 12 Hours of Sebring, but are not going to compete?
They are working on their cars for LeMans???? Problem with front end aero package?

I got the shots on turn 17 from on top of cement dividers back between where the Corvette Corall and the Porsche Corall normally are, this is a great area to watch as the cars really get close to the wall coming around. I saw the cars bouncing so badly that I zoomed in to see if there would be a wheel up, the Dyson Lola Mazda took it into the tire wall earlier on 17 but escaped without damage. Both Flying Lizards looked good along with the evil Risi 62 Ferrari. No Corvettes today or Panoz, the BMW's also seem to be up to speed. I need to check the speed charts but that was my impression. With a fairly weak LMP 1 field (sorry I forgot Peugot), a strong LMP2 could challenge for the overall win .........RS Spyder????

Just my opinion?

I've been to Sebring 2 out of the last 3 weekends, so I skipped the Test. The Corvettes had a private test last week.

Jaguar not only has a bridge the Main Tower has also been named the Jaguar Tower

Also remember that Sebring is being run to ACO rules, so there will be a LMP1 and a LMP2 class vs the rest of the year they will be equilizing the cars for a compined LMP class
