1st Time Out at Sebring
Got a chance to run a PDX at Sebring last weekend. Video of best lap and a sessions 2 & 3. I skipped the last session as it was in the high 90s temp wise and 100% humidity most of the day. Car handled it fine but the driver was toast.
Since it was first time out I did a lot of experimenting with different lines. I think I could shave another 3-4 seconds pretty easily next time out. Definitely could carry more speed through turns 1 and 17 now that I been through them a few times. Just have to have confidence she'll hold on despite the undulations in the pavement. Tips/comments are welcome! Best lap of the day (Session 2) Session 2 Session 3

It was friggin miserable even before the sun came up. Hopefully the new asphalt in Gurney bend will be a bit more worn in for you guys. It was a bit slick still when we were there so you wound up pushing off to the left a bit earlier than would have been best line.
There's two lines through turn 1, either in tight against the wall or 3-4 car widths out to the right. In between there's gulleys and undulations in the pavement that will crack your kidneys..... Good luck out there!

The roughness is part of getting accustomed to running there. The car's getting bounced around a lot and in some parts of the track (turns 1 and 17 for example) you've only got intermittent grip. I can imagine when they run the 12 hour race there that the drivers feel pretty beat up at the end of a 3 hour shift.

It was quite a contrast to Daytona which is very smooth by comparison.
