    Pole and podium on the first race back, and beat the Porsches. Not bad at all. Now hopefully all they have to do is to fix a bit of the clumsy nervousness before Le Mans.

    Not terrible, but they still can't look down at the F1 guys

    The third place Ferrari made two more pit stops than any of the other lead Hypercars and spent 2 minutes longer in the pits. If they could have eliminated the extra pit stops, they might have won!

    They fueled on lap 13 from the lap 5 safety car, and got off sequence, then had a 5 second pitlane penalty. Pit teething problems. They'll figure it out. It's one thing to test, and another altogether to do a pit stop at full speed.

    With the WEC and IMSA rules getting ever closer together, I think the time for two separate Sebring races should end. IMSA should revise its classes for 2024 to be identical to the WEC, and the 12 hour race should be a joint WEC/IMSA race.

    That would be tough with both rounds counting towards championships. Plus the number of cars would be too much.
