Not something that anyone could have forseen.As for the #44, we wonder if the E85 fuel had anything to do with it?It should be a very exciting season if BMW can go the distance and if Corvette can stop making silly mistakes in the pits.Lastly, don't forget, Joerg and Patrick took 4th last year and look how their season turned out!!

It should be a very exciting season if BMW can go the distance and if Corvette can stop making silly mistakes in the pits.

Lastly, don’t forget, Joerg and Patrick took 4th last year and look how their season turned out!!

It qualified about 5 seconds slower, and then was slower than all the contenders throughout the entire race. One typical bit of trouble for the 45 car, and you are left with a fourth place in the GT2 class for Porsche!!Sebring forebodes an exciting season in the GT2 class of ALMS, with the winning performance of the Risi Competizione 62 Ferrari, and the steady and quick performance of both Rahal-Letterman M3s. The Corvettes were slower this weekend, but how long will that last? All of this adds up to one challenging season for Flying Lizards and great excitement for the fans!! I hope the 44 car gets up to speed for the next race. We are going to need BOTH cars in top shape!!!

We enjoyed our Porscheplatz conversation and look forward to seeing you at future Porsche events.I couldn't agree with you more since there were some very interesting things going on at Sebring besides the race. Being at the Porscheplatz, not only did we get a chance to meet like-minded and avid Porsche and Motorsport enthusiasts, but we had the opportunity to connect with PCA leadership and hear presentations/speak with Flying Lizard managers/drivers, Porsche Motorsport bigwigs/engineers, Michelin representatives/tech experts, as well as the things you covered in your article. It was a long race, but definitely worth going!Thanks again for the cool PorschePurist.com t-shirts!! It was great meeting you this weekend along with my brother and father!
