I also have the S397 Sebring but have yet to use it as every league keeps using the the VLM one!
As for Lime Rock, I never could put together a lap in qualifying and ended up 9th. If I had gotten all my sectors together it could have been 4th or 5th. Work to do while also trying not to overcook the tyres. Had a good run going with under five minutes to go, in about 5th place I think with the cars ahead starting to struggle, but as soon as I caught up to them I walloped the curb on the final corner and looped it. Back to 9th with Sascha behind, and then I realized I calculated the estimated laps the wrong way, thinking 14 or 15 laps when I should have calculated 16 or 15 laps, so had to do maximum fuel save on the last lap. Began sputtering off the final corner but thankfully for me it took Sascha by surprise and he just wasn't quite able to re-accelerate enough to get ahead before the line.
Race 2 was good. Took care of the tyres enough to get ahead of a few, some laps holding them off until they began to struggle with tyre heat again I think, so then had like four seconds to DJC and three seconds to the group behind. Looked like I was able to gain little bits of ground to DJC but it would have needed to be an hour-long race for anything to happen there. A solid 5th-place result.
