Three Things at Sebring More Exciting Than the Race

Posted on 20. Mar, 2010 by PB in News

Sebring is arguably one of the most important races of the Motorsport season for Porsche. Not only does it kick off the 2010 ALMS series, it’s the venue where Porsche has more wins than any other manufacturer and home of their first long-distance, endurance race win in 1960 by Hans Herrmann. Rather than cover the ins and outs of the race, we’ll leave that to the press releases and just let you know that Porsche took 1st place on the podium in the P2 class and GTC class and fourth in the GT2 class. Instead, we want to let you know about three events (Hurley Haywood’s induction into the Sebring Hall of Fame, Hans Herrmann recounting his (and Porsche’s) first win at Sebring and PorschePurist’s “behind the scenes” tour of the Flying Lizard Paddock) that took place this past weekend as part of Porsche’s overall racing experience. Hurley Haywood Inducted to the Sebring Hall of Fame Hurley Haywood has plenty of great memories to choose from over a career spanning 28 starts (more than any other driver) and 2 wins at the Mobil1 12 Hours of Sebring. However, it’s possible his fondest memory might be this past weekend as he was inducted into the prestigious Sebring Hall of Fame in a luncheon ceremony held on Friday the 19th at the Sheraton Chateau Elan hotel overlooking the famous Hairpin at the track
