Look closely at the new 2006 Sebring poster on the home page here. What turn is this? How can by looking back at the Chateu Elan motel with a straight on look can you be on the track. The hotel faces the northeast and is not directly facing down the track after the hairpin............Have I had too many cold ones tonight or do you see what I mean?

It is the hairpin, on the first apex...Chateau Elan is a bit off from true, but Panoz pays the bills so a full image of it would be a good thing...One can never have to many cold ones... :lol:

I saw the original art and while the perspective is a little skewed, it is mostly correct. One thing is for sure, i would not want to be standing where this view is from. You would be right at the unction of the old hairpin and the new one. Which is a very dangeruos place.

Here is a little hint for the collectors out there. Buy a couple of copies of this poster, word is on the street that there will be some changes to thye art before tthe program is printed. That would make this poster original and the only one that is different than the program.

^ correction.... the cover art will not be changed. It seems one factory team was just blowing diesel smoke up our ass about not being in front. When it came time to pay for the art to be changed, they balked. :roll:
