Driver Insight: “The Sebring race is super cool and is one of my favorites, but the track is so bumpy that drivers really have to take care of the car. It exhausts both the car and the driver. Being consistent and staying mentally cool and focused are the key elements needed to do well in this race. The car needs to be balanced enough to race during the day, and still stay competitive after the temperature drops at night and we push through those final two hours of racing.”  – Christina Nielsen, No. 58 Wright Motorsports Porsche 911 GT3 R
