From David Kelly – Porsches, Porsches, Porsches! That’s what the 30th annual running of the “48 Hours at Sebring” PCA Race was all about and a large number of track-ready Porsches were on hand for the action on the track or waiting their turn in the Paddock. As the largest PCA race, this event draws cars and drivers from all over the country. This year was no exception with two hundred and fifty entrants listed for the full event program. Saturday’s race schedule was comprised of Sprint Races (twenty-five minutes each in duration) made up of four Run Groups, Silver (Advanced Solo), Yellow, Green, and Red, in that order.
Enduro Races (ninety minutes each) were scheduled for Sunday to run through noon, followed by an “open track” for the Advanced Solo (Silver) Group until track closing at 4:00PM. Spec Boxsters, 914’s, 944’s, 968’s, air-cooled 911’s, Cayman’s, GT4’s, and Club Sports were plentiful in the Paddock and in the Yellow and Green Run Groups, complimented by a huge number of GT3 Cup Cars on the Grid for the Red Run Group.
Lots of action and lots of excitement were the order of the day! Well-known Racing Teams with large car haulers, fielding multiple cars and drivers, were often matched against single-car entries and drivers all striving for a class win. You could even buy your own race car while you were there, picking from a large selection of race-ready cars that were on display! Vendors and suppliers of race equipment were on hand as well, ready to outfit your car and provide the latest driver needs for your safety and comfort.
If you like the sound of race cars in action and seeing the race teams at work in the Paddock, Sebring Raceway on Saturday was the place to be!
