    Thanks for this. I'm moving to Florida within a couple hours of Sebring. I have recently prepared my 4th Gen Camaro for track days and autocross and can't wait to drive Sebring.

    Hey man thanks the info. This Joaquín from the autocross days in the nineties. I remember the wonderful autocrosses we used to have with Shields, Chiles and the rest of the gang. I finally got my license and raced on all the Florida tracks. Great fun. Nice to see you and still involved. God bless you

    My favorite track. Did a three hour HSR Enduro in the rain, in an Austin Healy Spridget, with a five inch plexiglass window and no top. Took second place. Missed first by 3/4 lap. It's a rough track with some bad puddles, but FUN!!

    Excellent video. I would like to drive the new track someday with my RSR. Too bad track modernization didn't follow the original 5.2 mile circuit. The old turn one was flat in 5th and presented a huge challenge especially at night since there was no track lighting. The old hairpin was much more difficult and the long North-South straight and Ulmann Straight were very fast, but extremely rough on driver and car. The new track looks much easier on driver and car.

      @@Grassrootsmotorsports shape looks to be the same, the blue/white material is now all black and taller (covering the tire stacks completely - up from ~36-48" to 60" now). The notch is still there before the bridge onto the front straight. LMK - I can email you a pic or some October videos on my channel for a look.
