My camera hadn’t been put to good use in a while and I was getting the itch to smell some race gas, so last weekend I went to the Sebring Classic 12 Hour. Being a few hours from both Sebring and Daytona, I was able to choose between this and the Ferrari Finali Mondiali. I was originally planning to head to Daytona on Sunday, but I got to Sebring fairly late on Saturday and by the time I was going to leave Sunday morning I would’ve missed most of the day. Yes, there are a lot of pictures.

This guy and the Prelude were solidly in the “no fucks given” camp

LOVE LOVE LOVE the 550/575. So disappointed this didn’t race while I was there.

Didn’t see this run either

Or this

Wish I had gotten more pictures of this Elan. What a beautiful little car.

I’m no expert at distinguishing originals from replicas, but this C-Type was so gorgeous that it didn’t really matter to me

This C6.R didn’t run either. A lot of the cars I really liked weren’t racing, unfortunately

Another “not sure if real or replica but don’t really care”

This guy couldn’t seem to stay on track for very long. Shame

Another disappointing “did not race”

Race, break, fix, repeat

Good dog

Quite possibly the best sound I’ve ever heard. The echo in the pit box was unreal.

I wanted this shot through the stairs so badly. I’ll try again at the 12 hours in March

Flamethrower

Love these Alfa GTs

This Olds sounded amazing too

I took this just for the wallpaper on my phone

Love it

L-O-L-A Looooola

I loved this 911 so much. The simplicity, the color, the patina...everything. Just a classic, well used Porsche

I realized about halfway through making the captions that I saved these pictures to be 1080 wide, because I’m an idiot. Wish I could’ve made it to Daytona to see the F1 cars running, but staying for Sunday was worth it. !!!error: Indecipherable SUB-paragraph formatting!!! if you’re interested.

I was so disappointed it didn’t run. Love seeing the C7.R, I was hoping to get some pics of this in action

Sure thing - always makes me a little crazy that great posts like these sometimes draw less than 100 views on OPPO. Please keep shooting & sharing. I’m considering bringing back DasWauto’s Best of OPPO as a New Year’s Resolution...

At the moment the plan is to go to both the Rolex 24 and Sebring 12 next year so I’ll definitely have more to share. I paid way too much for this camera to let it sit unused haha
