Hi....have you ever tested your car at Sebring?
Interested to hear how much it costs and what limitations if any they impose.
Thanks......

No, but I`m sure it would be fun. And would love to do just that. I should have said, Anyone going to the 12hrs of Sebring?. Last year the C6Rs ran unopposed.

I would love to, but since Sebring is kinda in the middle of nowhere, any available close hotels are booked. The closest one I can find is 60 minutes away. I booked rooms for the race in St. Petersburg on 4/4 and 4/5 this morning instead.

thats a Lemans race? thats only 3hrs drive for me. And my brother has an apartment over there. Count me in. Sebring is only 1.5 hrs..if that and all on good backroads. Last year had just as much fun at the race as I did getting to it.

Yep, St Pete has the ALMS race on Saturday and the Indycar race on Sunday.

I was there last year and will be there again this year. It's a great time. The C6R's ran in the GT1 class last year and had an Aston Martin as competition. For the rest of the ALMS season, competition didn't show up very often; none after Sebring until later in the season when a Maserati sponsored by a private owner was entered.
