    Qualified pole and P4 with the Toyotas between them. Fingers crossed for a clean start and a smooth race.

    At least this car has serious speed..
    Beating both Toyotas in pure qualifying practice is quite an achievement for a such inexperienced team..
    Kudos to them.

    A little confused.

    Have they done away with GTE Pro in favor of just GTE Am in all races or just Sebring?

    Yes only GTE AM this year. It is also the last year for GTE. Going to GT3 spec cars next year and I believe that will be AM only as well.

    Those are some awfully large gaps between the pole sitter and some of the other cars. Were teams just taking it easy or is there really that big of a difference?

    Interesting. IMSA pole for #31 Cadillac at 1:45.836 which would have put him 4th for the WEC race. DPI pole from last year was 1:45.166 for the 01 Cadillac which would have been just off of the WEC pole for this year.

    Looked identical to the Pfaff crash in IMSA qualifying.

    This is my profession, being doing it for 30 years now, Ferrari seems to have a decent car-close to or equal in performance, lap time. But they have a bit to re-learn about endurance racing....

    They will get there. Good to see them back racing where they should be. Really the true heart and soul of Ferrari Racing.

    In endurance, grid position isn't really paramount.
    What's important is to have the car well sorted for a subtained fast pace that the 3 drivers feel comfortable with.
    Of course Pole is always good for bragging rights.

    Very impressive start by Ferrari. They did so well. Now to reduce those pitstops and some fine tuning and things are going to get real tight.

    Good race. Let's see how the second and third race go and where BOP takes us. Porsche might end up surprising at Lemans.

    They might be faster than they seem now or sand bagging.

    They do a LeMans specific BoP so things may be different.

    Mixed results for Ferrari at Sebring this weekend. A fun spectacle to watch for sure.

    Feeling good about the P cars, not sure what to make of the 296 GT3's. 488 GTE EVO's kind of in between.

    Bring on Portimao and Long Beach. Froza Ferrari.
