They’re small scale and not super expensive, they do a good job of conveying the design in that size.

I've done it a few times. It owns rear end. Just drive in, find a spot and claim it. This is the land where no laws apply. Words of wisdom: if you dont want to party till 3am, you probably don't want to be along the main road or next to anybody erecting huge towers or stages out of scaffolding. Youll see.

Also bring beer and food to trade with your neighbors. Breakfast is the meal with the worst at track concession options, and i never bring enough, so dont be me.

That's exactly what I wanted to hear.

This is true of any IMSA race weekend. I have gone to the Petit Le Mans many times, and a barter system evolves between the people who are there, trading breakfast for a ride to the nearest liquor store, liquor in exchange for hot shower, etc.

I didn't see any of that at VIR but it's a short race and a GT festival at that. Also we stayed about 15 minutes away in a campground with power and water so that was nice.

My Lego Ferrari has already shipping, picked up the Fiesta WRC as well.

I also like how badly the TCR UK launch is going. In a shocking turn of events the UK did not need a second low-cost touring car series.

You'd think the failure to organise the cup for old BTCC machinery, which everyone already owned, would have told them that.

Britain has a second low-cost touring car series, it's called the Clio Cup.

I've only been to the short races or when they're a support race :(

Sebring is bucket list, though. Now to plan and pack accordingly. Wife still thinks I'm nuts.

Yeah for barter system to kick in it has to be a full race weekend, i.e. a 4 day ticket. When i go to the petit I show up on Wednesday at 5 AM for a Saturday race, and we usually finally leave the track Sunday at around 11 a.m. after the saturday hangover is past. I also come with an 8 man tent and awning, 3 large coolers (1 booze, 1 for ice, 1 for food, oversize tent is to discourage theft of poo poo from our coolers by passersby) and tarps as windbreaks for a 2 person gig which is just me and my old man, and we stake our claim right near the turn 5 complex. We've got an understanding with the locals who camp there that since we are closer to the road than they are we make the beer runs and they block off a parking spot for us in exchange for hot showers and breakfast. It works pretty well for us.

I think its more none of the fox announcers knowing poo poo about anything to do with endurance racing, and also the 20-30 minutes per hour of commercial breaks Fox likes to throw in, even on the fs go stream. It's a pretty poo poo quality arrangement, but hey back in the 90s/early 2000s you were lucky to get the kind of coverage you get today, and earlier than that? lol you're lucky if you got a 30 minute highlight block for a 12 hour race, we really are spoiled.

Use a VPN into literally any other country other than the US and get the superior RS2 commentary. I still will load up the fox stream to help IMSA's ratings but that's as far as I go with that broadcast.

The RS2 commentary only (certainly through their web site) should be free for all. The IMSA TV streams pairing sound and vision are what’s restricted.

IMSA might as well drive the BMW themselves at this rate. Christ that's a worthless car.

Great strategy, though. Build a slow car, then get everyone else BoPd down to your level so their cars actively suffer.

They also had Dunlop making a bespoke tire for them on a factory deal. That probably helped a bit.

God drat it. Sebastian Loeb is back in WRC, and is currently leading the Mexico rally. Why couldn't he stay in WRX and be mediocre there. Hope Sordo or Meeke can take it to him. Shows how much of a rally machine he is though. Be gone for 5 years, and then challenge for the win in his first event.

So loving hype for Sebring.

Unfortunately there's no way I can go down Wednesday, so I'll be there Thursday morning as soon as the will call booth opens.

Am I turbo hosed for getting a decent spot at that point? Any recommendations on where I should try to get a spot? I don't mind loud rear end parties and poo poo going on, as long as I can walk to decent spots in the track easily.
