  • Audi Repeats Last Year's Sebring Victory Quotes After the Race
    Sebring, 18 March 2001 Audi repeats last year’s Sebring victory Audi had a successful dress rehersal for the 24 Hour Race at Le Mans: For the second time in a row Team Audi Sport North America took a 1-2 victory at the 12 Hours of Sebring (USA). Michele Alboreto, Laurent Aiello and Rinaldo Capello finished the race just 0.482s ahead of their team mates and last year’s winners Frank Biela, Tom Kristensen and Emanuele Pirro. The Audi customer teams of Champion and Johansson even made it the first 1-2-3-4 victory of Audi in the American Le Mans Series (ALMS) finishing 3rd and 4th. In front of a record crowd of 168,000 spectators, the two Infineon Audi R8s were setting the pace from the start on a track which is famous for being very demanding. The two customer R8s, however, stayed close making the pace among the leaders extremely fast. The two Infineon Audi R8s were fighting for victory for the whole twelve hour distance. Despite the enormous strain, the cars did not suffer from any severe difficulties. The Infineon Audi R8 #1 just had its front brake discs replaced shortly after half distance, the companion car had two pit stops because of a malfunction in the engine’s electrics. For the Audi crew the dress rehersal for Le Mans, however, is not completely over: On Monday and Tuesday the torture of another full 12- hour-distance is on the schedule for one of the two successful Infineon Audi R8s. Quotes after the race Laurent Aiello (#1): “It was a very tough race.

  • SRT Motorsports Thursday Sebring Practice Report
    Contact: Adam Saal Bill Klingbeil SRT Motorsports Thursday Practice Notes Twelve Hours of Sebring at Sebring International Raceway March 12, 2014, SEBRING, Fla. - SRT (Street and Racing Technology) Motorsports ran through a thorough and complete schedule of testing Thursday with its Viper GTS-R teams at Sebring International Raceway in the opening day of practice for Saturday’s 62nd annual Mobil 1 Twelve Hours of Sebring Fueled by Fresh from Florida. Placing an emphasis on team execution and pre-race preparation rather than an all-out pursuit for top speed, both the No. 91 SRT Viper GTS-R and drivers Marc Goossens, Dominik Farnbacher and Ryan Hunter-Reay, and the sister No. 93 SRT Viper GTS-R of Jonathan Bomarito, Kuno Wittmer and Rob Bell, were put through their preliminary paces of the weekend. The SRT entries posted their respective fastest laps of the day in Thursday’s morning practice session in which the No. 93 clocked in at 2:00.763 (111.491 mph) and the No. 91 lapped at 2:01.321 (110.978 mph). In total, the six drivers on the SRT lineup have a combined one victory, four podiums and nine top-five results in 22 career appearances in the 12 Hours of Sebring. Hunter-Reay co-drove to a victory in the LMP2 class in the 2011 edition of the endurance race and was the class runner-up last year. Both Farnbacher and Goossens have appeared on the podium at Sebring. This weekend’s race at Sebring marks the one-year anniversary of SRT Motorsports’ return to major-league sports car racing in last year’s 12-hour classic.

  • Identifying and Countering FAKE NEWS Mark Verstraete1, Derek E
    Identifying and Countering FAKE NEWS Mark Verstraete1, Derek E. Bambauer2, & Jane R. Bambauer3 EXECUTIVE SUMMARY Fake news has become a controversial, highly contested issue recently. But in the public discourse, “fake news” is often used to refer to several different phenomena. The lack of clarity around what exactly fake news is makes understanding the social harms that it creates and crafting solutions to these harms difficult. This report adds clarity to these discussions by identifying several distinct types of fake news: hoax, propaganda, trolling, and satire. In classifying these different types of fake news, it identifies distinct features of each type of fake news that can be targeted by regulation to shift their production and dissemination. This report introduces a visual matrix to organize different types of fake news and show the ways in which they are related and distinct. The two defining features of different types of fake news are 1) whether the author intends to deceive readers and 2) whether the motivation for creating fake news is financial. These distinctions are a useful first step towards crafting solutions that can target the pernicious forms of fake news (hoaxes and propaganda) without chilling the production of socially valuable satire. The report emphasizes that rigid distinctions between types of fake news may be unworkable. Many authors produce fake news stories while holding different intentions and motivations simultaneously. This creates definitional grey areas. For instance, a fake news author can create a story as a response to both financial and political motives.

  • The Crowd Roars
    THE CROWD ROARS Racking up ridiculous risks, clocking catastrophic chances, Mario Andretti spent the seven or more decades of his unequaled life and career collecting the world championship of Formula One, the national title of Indy cars, the Indy and Daytona 500s, Pikes Peak, plus, way back in 1970, winning his favorite race of them all the Sebring 12 Hours, the amazing sports car enduro where, Mario memorably exclaimed to me, “ I took more risks and chances than I would in three Grands Prix! ” All because of a Hollywood movie actor named Steve McQueen. Prior to Sebring, Mario probably never had met McQueen. But finding himself racing at Sebring against somebody who was just some Hollywood actor, was to Mario, an embarrassment – a giant one. Particularly because McQueen’s name was getting championed and chanted over the public-address system; and also because the actor’s racing car was an elderly orsche that was no great chariot of beauty or speed; and furthermore, because McQueen was, incredibly, blowing off Sebring’s usual international field, which included a full team of works Ferrari drivers, captained by Mario; and - in the most acutely embarrassing insult of all - McQueen, an erratic desert bike racer, had, just prior to the 12 Hours, taken yet another spill, broken more bones, and was being forced to brake and double-clutch with his left ankle imprisoned in a cast. It was all too much, and Mario already could predict the headlines: HOLLYWOOD ACTOR WITH BROKEN FOOT BEATS ANDRETTI AT SEBRING McQueen’s co-driver was Peter Revson, ordinarily one of world sports car racing’s fastest players, but now was in a growing state of fatigue, and he had a right to be, because he was almost racing the 12 Hours in the style of iron man.
