Great set of photos Bob. Your camera work is excellent.
Fantastic photographs.
I’ll second Louis’ comments: some great shots there, especially with the airplanes in the background, as a reminder of the origins of the Sebring track. Great piece, thank you very much.
Great shots of mostly Porsche. Didn’t Ferrari run a few cars at Sebring?
Great pics and documentary Bob.
As a UK resident I have been lucky enough to visit the US often in springtime and as a result have been able to attend the Daytona 500, Daytona Bike Week and the Sebring 12 Hours.
All three have a very friendly and special atmosphere. Unfortunately due to family circumstances and now Covid I’ve missed out for last three years but I’m eagerly looking forward getting back there.
