This weekend in central Florida, Porsche set about rectifying their transgressions at Daytona back in January. After failing to so much as put one car on any class podium, they came to Sebring with something to prove. They'd run strong here in 2017, but bad luck took them out of contention.

Sanctioning bodies began racing sports cars at the Daytona International Speedway in 1962, just three years after it opened. Dan Gurney famously won that race, a 3-hour sprint, in a Lotus, but Bob Holbert quietly won the 2-liter sports racer class in a 718 RSK, marking the beginning of Porsche's many successes at the iconic road course/oval. …
