Just now finding the time to cover every bit of offseason news from the FIA World Endurance Championship as the Sebring prologue test takes place this weekend before the 1,000 Miles of Sebring kicks off the 2023 championship a week from today on Friday, March 17th, (St. Patrick's Day). A good chunk of early news in December before the new year came and went for 2023, is about testing and preparing for the season.
Sports car racing, is my passion and I have been dedicated to it for well over two decades. A great quote from Steve McQueen in his 1971 movie, when he starred as Gulf Porsche driver Michael Delaney, comes to mind. "Racing is life. Anything that happens before or after, is just waiting." - Steve McQueen From the movie, "Le Mans" - 1971
