They say Sebring si unforgiving to cars and drivers. It's also unforgiving to spectators. I had free lodging in town and the drive to the track was easy. Free parking at gate 4 was fine. But inside the track there is nowhere to find relief from the elements. It's either 90 degrees in the blazing sun, or it's pouring rain. Every little clump of trees had campers and tents under it. No shelters with tables. It was a solid parking lot. I get now not even to try going without camping at the track.
That said, it was thrilling to be there; to see the WEC cars; to once again hear that deep throated, barrel chested, LOUD roar of the Corvette V-8!!
Yes, that's why there's always a line of RVs along the backstraight.
I was amazed at all the big tents that were on the paddock side from T16 about half of the Ullman Straight! A lot of hospitality?????
