I kinda detest the branding around that entry but if it got me a WEC drive I'd paint myself pink too. The important part is they're rocking it even with a change of car.

For fellow goons at Sebring: feel free to watch the last 30 minutes of either race with us at Camp SASCAR at Turn 17.

Edit: Offer also stands for sunset (7-8 PM) for the 12 Hours of Sebring.

I would’ve been posting in here but it started at 1 am my time.

Also the FIA WEC app refreshed for this year, and is hilariously unfinished. Won’t even allow you to AirPlay which, like, should be a system default :psyduck:

I was curious to see how Toyota would stack up against all the new competition. The answer is: Pretty good! On the broadcast the mentioned this year’s car was about 2.5 seconds faster than last year’s.

I have a very small human that wakes up between 5:30 and 6:30, so I could watch the last ~3 hours live. And man that new app is kinda trash, at least the racing is good.

They also highlighted the SpaceX launch on the race broadcast, was fun to see.

I wonder how much of this is toyota getting faster vs BOP changing now there are more competitive cars in the field.

Either way, really good racing today. Stoked for the 12h tomorrow.

The comms made a great point about the Toyotas, last year their pace was about the same as the rest of the field was today at Sebring. Their dominance today was simply 2 years of extra development on their car, as well as over a decade of constant participation in WEC providing unmatched experience.

Watched the last four hours of the race, ferrari pace is good and if they avoid driver mistakes they can get good standings but i don't see them beating Toyota unless the gazoos retire. Iron lynx/dames move to porsche seems a serious downgrade in performance.

Dames were on pace to win from pole but they had a mistake at turn 1 that tore the floor up and ripped the diffuser clean off.

I mean you can’t expect any team to be challenging toyota just yet. I recon in a season or two you’ll see Ferrari catching up to them though. Dunno about Porsche and I have a feeling that Peugeot will either just give up or have a more conventional car next year, although maybe Sebring was just a bit too rough for their car idk.

It looked cooler without the rear diffuser though

Ferrari and Porsche will improve, Peugeot should as well. Should.

Remember there’s also Alpine, Lamborghini joining new plus a BMW program for WEC. Gonna be good for a couple years here.

“For the Mobil 1 Twelve Hours of Sebring, the #80 Porsche has a tyrannosaurus rex colorscheme. The inspiration came from team principal and driver PJ Hyett, in honor of his children, who have inspired him to use a helmet that sports a t-rex for his son and a unicorn for his daughter.”

Was super stoked for this livery until I read the article and now I’m bummed that we don’t get a motherfuckin’ unicorn :black101:
