Here are a couple of shots I took in the hot pits at Sebring Raceway. I was attracted by the strong colors and shapes.
In the Pits Reds
In the Pits Yellow against red
Must have been a cloudy day?
Yes, if you look close in the black area just below the names on shot 2 you can see some of the sky reflection. Also the hot pits at Sebring are shaded by the viewing stands from about 11:00am on.

Do you work for a media outlet?
How did you get over the wall at Sebring?
Just curious?
Or do you have something to do with Genoa Racing?
First picture is of Javier Echeverria in ORECA-Courage FLM09
The second one is of the #063 car, also an FLM09
Nice photos too

Bob,
I have a coffee and ice cream concession trailer. We stay at Sebring from First of December until the 12-hr race in March. I actually just got home about 2 hours ago from there. I know a lot of folks at the track and once in a while they let me put on photo jacket to get better access. These were taken during winter test last year and actually anyone could have got these shots. Quite impressive that you could identify the drivers. I really need to document better. I take the first question as a compliment.
Wolf,
You are a very privileged guy!
I've been attending the 12 hrs since 1973, and was a crew member a few times. I've also had press credentials a number of times. These days getting over the wall is a big deal. You need a fire suit and credentials out the ass.
Keep shooting, let me see the pictures and I'll tell you what you shot :lol:
I usually camp in Green Park (go figure) *Go F-Troop*
By the way my avatar was taken at Sebring in 96
(don't tell anyone, it's a friend of mine, I took the picture, he's big into stereo photography, just thought it would fit for UHH)
So you were there again this year? My trailer was in the paddock right next to the Snack Shack. Although I titled this in the Hot Pits, you will notice that these shots were taken from the cold pits side. I added another leaning over the wall. Have you seen my other shots posted:

Over the wall
Found this one
I was shooting in continuous mode and then stitched them
