1999 12 Hours of Sebring - BMW wins - IMSA GTP 333SP - Lola Judd

1999 12 Hours of Sebring. A big overall win for BMW. A few sites from around the La Bomba/Turn 11 camp sprinkled in for additional flavor. The 1999 12 Hours of Sebring provided the second overall win for BMW in the grand history of the race. Be sure to select the 'watch in high quality' option provided by YouTube, while watching this 1999 12 Hours of Sebring video, as this does make a big difference in viewing clarity. The 12 Hours of Sebring is arguably the greatest endurance race in the world. The track puts extreme demands and hardship on both cars and drivers. Thanks for watching this video of the 1999 12 Hours of Sebring. Hope that you enjoyed it, and check out the rest of my 12 Hours of Sebring videos. Cheers!

Nice video, very well put together. Are you going to Sebring this year? Gonna be a great battle, Peugeot, Audi, and the new Acura in LMP1. Wish I could go to Sebring to see that.

Thank you for your comments. I actually do quite a bit of editing to hopefully enhance my videos, so I do appreciate your compliment. We are going to Sebring this year! I haven't missed a year in thirty-four. Been going since 1975. This year should be a great race as you pointed out. We are the La Bomba Racing group camped in Turn 11. Check out our 2009 12 Hours of Sebring video that we just posted to YouTube. You can follow our journey to Sebring and beyond. Wish you could make it!

Great video. That BMW V12 sounds awesome, and the Panoz sounds just so badass. Funny how the Corvette is almost the most silent car in this video... overall cars sound seem to sound so much better and louder than nowadays - the noise level regulations are getting really too excessive, and only getting more excessive according to ACO's plans. Or what do you think?

Thanks FormulaOneSpy! It's always a pleasure to be at Sebring, and with camera in hand, to capture just a bit of the magic. Personally, I say let the racing fans, pit crew teams and track workers have a say in the regulation of the noise level. In all the years that I have attending racing events, I've never heard anyone complain about excessive noise. We dig it. Maybe try some earplugs. The early days of Mazda Rotary powered race cars was truly brutal on the ears, but that was remedied.

I always wanted to know what sort of things happened to the TWR Castrol Jaguars at Sebring, what sort of Problems kept them from winning.

[mmmatthewww]

I was so hoping for the Jags to have an overall win in the modern era at the 12 Hours of Sebring. From the Bob Tullius Group 44 Jags to the Tom Walkinshaw Castrol Jags, a gallant effort was made year after year, and although they were always competitive, fate denied the Jaguars a triumphant finish. The Jags had plenty of top five postings at Sebring however. 1955 will probably have to stand as Jaguars one and only Sebring win.

Wow, the vettes sound almost the same as they do now

This is back during the time of the Grand Touring Prototypes welded together with the LMP cars and it made for great racing. VLR looks absolutely awesome.

[TDDWEST]

They have a Race there?!?!?!?  LOL

[troever]

love the sound of the corvette

[Nikateer]

WOW! BMW makes me so proud to own their products!

[SpencerWhiteSTFC1]

The BMW LMR first pictures were only released a couple of months before this race, and I remmembered thinking, what a great looking car. It sounded fantastic as well.

They were deserved winners of Sebring and Le Mans. They really entered into the spirit, doing their development on the racetrack where the fans could watch. Unlike Mercedes, Toyota and Nissan who did thousands of miles hidden away in testing. Bravo.
