The calm before the storm: the Sebring pits at 7 am.
SEBRING, Fl — After a week of testing teams will get down to business when the green flag drops today at 11 am EDT.
One team that has had a reversal of fortunes is the No. 90 BMW that earned the pole in the GT2 class yesterday but was subsequently moved to the back of the grid when it failed the stall test. That moved the Flying Lizards No. 45 Porsche 911 GT3 into the pole position of the GT2 class, driver Jorg Bergmeister’s first at Sebring.
Adding insult to industry, the 90 BMW with Joey Hand at the wheel spun coming out of the last turn and impacted tire wall on the passenger side of the car. They will start from the pits as the team does not believe they can get the car repaired in time for the start.
On the weather front, the morning dawned clear and the prediction is for temperatures reaching the mid to high 70s, in contrast to a very cool week during testing.
