Sebring... in the rain.

[John Thawley]

Went over to Sebring last week to shoot vintage... it poured, drizzled and then poured again. Only a few vintage Porsches came out... none of the GTP or prototype racers ever it the track. The surprise though was these little Porsche Cayman cars that run a in a new division called Cayman Interseries. They run at select HSR events... the are a spec car costing about $80K ready to race and they must run one of the classic paint schemes from the old Porsche 917 days. VERY cool.

Fitting John. #8 on #8. :)


I like #1 rooster tail shot. Looked really dark. I think #8 tells a good weather story.

Was #5 shot in turn 10? Good article by the way. Interesting a spec car for 80K. Should be competitive.

I really like #4 and #6. Hope the series gets popular and comes to a track near me. I like shooting historics. Must be the old age nostalgia. LOL
BTW love Sports Car Insider, keep up the great work!

Markku is running that Manthey Porsche everywhere isn't he? I really dig the Miller can Cayman (#5) If it makes you feel any better, it was 39F and flat greay at Road Atlanta.

Great shots John. But can we keep it to 8 or less? :D Couldn't resist. :)
