Welcome to the Wigan Sportscars, part of the Marshall Pruitt podcast series, and brought to you as always for the health and assistance of our good friends at the Justice Brothers and Toronto Motorsport.com.

0:15.8

Now, like any good adult party, this is a three-handed game.

0:20.0

So it's going to be me, Graham Goodwin.

0:21.8

It's going to be him over there. You can't see him. I can. Stephen Kilby.

0:25.7

How are you, Graham? I'm fine. Shush. And pointing in a lot further over there, Jonathan,

0:33.1

welcome to this week's edition. We can see the listener can't you look remarkably chipper for

0:39.4

somebody that's just dragged themselves through a hectic week at no none of the than seabring

0:46.5

international raceway uh well thank you graham it's good good to be here hardly dragging to

0:50.4

seabring's one of the best ones of the year you know it's it's one of those races that it it's in a part of Florida where there's not much else to do other than go to the racetrack, but there's always plenty of action at one of I think is the best race tracks in the country. And it is always one of the best race weekends of the year. I think this year was no exception. We saw a race that was largely call it procedural for

1:12.2

most of it and then fireworks at the end, as you'd expect from Sebring. But RJ O'Connell and I were on

1:17.2

the ground and I think we had a heck of a time. Well, I know RJ yourself for helping us to launch the

1:22.4

brand new YouTube channel for Delhi Sportscar. Keep an eye on lots of new content coming from the team around the

1:28.2

world on that, but it's already beginning to get up and running with a great preview for

1:32.7

the pair of you, a wrap-up of that race. From you, Jonathan, some shorts coming alongside a cracking

1:38.8

piece with the new Temeraria. We'll talk a little bit about that. Another of the big talking points,

1:43.8

by the way, in the lead up to this race, what I think is a really special commemorative throwback livery from Portia Penske-Mautsport. Yeah, it looked great, didn't. It harkens back to 1996, the 9-11 GT1. This was fitting for the mobile one 12 hours of Sebring because it was a mobile one inspired livery. And we first saw it back at the 24 hours of LaBah. They did a great rendition of it on both the six car and the seven car differentiated with some different color shark fins. I think it's pretty fitting that they finished one too as well. And the cars looked spectacular. They weren't the only special liveries on the grid, but I think they were certainly some of the most eye-catching. Also, they're celebrating a 30-year relationship between Porsche and Mobile One. So, special on a lot of different fronts, but I think anyone that was a fan of the GT-1 era was absolutely chomping at the bit to get into the autograph line, get into the paddock and see it. I know I certainly was. I know

2:34.3

RJ and I ran down there a second. We got to the track to try to wait and see it come off the

2:38.9

truck, but the cars looked absolutely fantastic. I think we should start when we're talking about

2:44.4

this race weekend and the race, as you rightly say, one to finish for Penske. I think that's the

2:49.2

place that we jump in on this because coming out of

2:52.3

that race, I think that was probably the biggest storyline was just how dominant of a victory it was.

2:58.0

A little sprinkling of controversy, sprinkling of needle between the two crews as well.
