Selected quotes from Sebring testing.

Danica Patrick:

The challenges of the American Le Mans Series:
"It's obviously going to mean more traffic, but I think that's fun. Overtaking and having lots of things going on at once is exciting and fun. It definitely keeps you sharp. For sure a 12-hour race would get boring if you were out there by yourself. I think that's what's needed in such a long race.

"I know what it's like racing sports cars. It's pretty fun and it keeps you sharp. It's good to have cars around you and keeps you focused with traffic going by and making passes with the different classes of cars. There are a lot of great places to pass here. That's a good thing to have the discrepancies in speeds between the cars.


Castroneves on the Penske Spyder:

"It's a great car and a great team," Castroneves said. "This really is a tremendous experience for me. This type of racing is not just about being fast; you have to be consistent as well. When Penske decided to give me this opportunity, I was very excited."

Looks like the old open-wheel crew are going racing in ALMS. The comments reflect some of the changes you will experience in running 4 classes in an endurance event at your club or r/c track.

I can't wait for the first race in SLC in May. Looks like it will be a part of the ALMS weekend at Miller Motorsports Park May 17-19th!
