The takeaway is that all 4 GTP manufacturers were competitive and running on the same lap after 12 hours. If the 3 leaders had not crashed out, the race would've gone down as one of the best 12 Hours ever. Still not sure why the Porsches seemed to come alive at night - better on colder tires?
IMSA may have created a monster. Record crowd at Daytona and again at Sebring. I've never seen so many at Sebring. On raceday, they actually had to close the infield and open a new area in the paddock for those with infield parking passes. Next year? More manufacturers coming into GTP and there will be at least 6 963's in the field. Not so much looking forward to the Long Beach dog & pony show in a few weeks - street circuits and endurance cars do not belong together. But after that, it's a proper schedule: Laguna Seca, Watkins Glen, Mosport, Lime Rock, Road America, VIR, Indy, Atlanta.
