Posted in the race day thread:
Overall, a very good race. Speed's coverage was good... not great, but good. I very much appreciate the full 10 hours of coverage though.
Thoughts on the race:
The 430 is still quick compared to the 911's, but the gap is smaller.
The 911 reliability looked very good.
Lou's Vette retiring was disappointing... but his pace was not too bad at all?
The Ford GT was a surprise. I expected it to retire from mechanical failure. Instead it took a tire wall to do it.
The Pug is fast. The Audi has its work cut out. I think the Pug will survive Le Sarthe just fine. Without some breaks, Audi is toast.
Audi is still having consistency and possibly team problems (in my opinion). Maybe that is because of the hodge podge of teams they have working on it? Maybe Dr. U is too much of a micro-manager?
There were too many wrecks out there. Some of them were quite odd.
The wind and track conditions must have been awful.
The GT1 Aston Martin finished the race. This is a good thing. They need better pace, but finishing Sebring in their first race is a good sign.
The Acuras were impressive. I think they have the pace this year to match the Spyder. What fun that will be.
Marco was quick, very quick. The kid can drive. I think he is the match for his Grandpa. Things do skip generations. It is too bad we won't have him for the full season.
The Panoz disappoints again. More mechanical/engine problems and a lack luster pace.
The M3 looks hot. Can't wait for that. Running earlier than 2009 was not ruled out.
And off we go
