2024 IMSA 12 Hours of Sebring GTP Paddock Tour 1: Chaos

This early video captures the chaos of setting up the Paddock and the support races hurrying out for practice. Dangerous work for me.

Endurance racing is just the coolest

[@TellURide447]

It really is. I like it more than f1. It’s not a reality tv show. F1 is more gossip and politics than it is racing. These endurance drivers don’t ever speak on camera about their feeling and thoughts

[@markzebr6463]

Couldn't agree with you more. Thanks for watching.

[@Jesko.]

Indeed the cars are like sci fi

[@markzebr6463]

Yes, getting very close.

[@Racingisgreat]

7:56 Porsche 296 ? 🤔😅

[@choochootrain6185]

i'm more confused about the 288

[@markzebr6463]

Yes, you are both correct. In true Monty Python fission, I have sacked the reviewer. On a more serious note, all of my videos are done live under sometimes chaotic surroundings and yes, I do make mistakes. I am appreciative that you have watched it long enough to point them out. Thanks.

This is the coolest. I'll be at my first IMSA event at CTMP in the summer. Thanks partner.

[@markzebr6463]

Good for you. Never been there but, it is on my bucket list. Thanks for watching

[@storkpatrick]

Amazing once again to have your Paddock Tours back!

[@markzebr6463]

Thanks for the kind words. Makes all of the effort, money and 15 hour drive worth it.

[@lynnysumner4588]

I really enjoy attending the 24 Hours of Sebring vicariously through your videos! Thank you very much for your great walk-thru of the pre-race! You are awesome !

[@markzebr6463]

Thank you. So glad to appreciate it without high tech graphics. 🙌 This is exactly how I present it.

[@thevettboy]

Thanks for the video, great tour of the paddock. You said you are going to be in the Corvette Corral, are you a Corvette owner? Looking forward to more videos throughout the weekend. Hope you have a blast. Thanks again.

[@markzebr6463]

yes, I am a Corvette owner, a black 2017 C7. I drive my C7 to every event, about 8 each year. I only started this channel a little less than a year ago, focusing most on die-cast race cars. The Paddock reviews are live, un-edited and done with a cell phone. They are intended to recreate the experience you would have if you were there with commentary from me. I do make mistakes and they are permanent. I will be at all IMSA endurance events as well as VIR. SRO at VIR. And HSR events at Watkins Glen and Road Atlanta next month. Thanks for watching.

[@antoninozullo9872]

thanks for this amazing video! greeting from Italy

[@markzebr6463]

WOW... Glad to have you aboard...LOVE Italy, have been there twice. Will be doing paddock tours at about 8 more venues this year betwen IMSA, SRO and HSR.....THANKS for tuning in.

[@antoninozullo9872]

Sure ! 👍

[@runstibble]

This is getting me so excited!

[@markzebr6463]

Thanks...Hope you get the chance to come here and get ecstatic....My favorite venue.

[@markzebr6463]

Thanks...come on down and really get ecstatic...my favorite venue.

[@fqeagles21]

will you be at lemans this year?

[@SpkTrsTo]

Yes of course

[@markzebr6463]

sadly, not for me. Don't know if I will ever get there. I hope that you get a chance, and if you do: Do a paddock rereview.

[@brentritchie6199]

Very interesting thank you

[@markzebr6463]

So glad to enjoyed, thanks for reaching out.

thanks, I think.

AMAZING TOUR BUDD

[@markzebr6463]

Many Thanks. Glad you enjoyed. Hope that you enjoyed the amazing race over the weekend.

[@rhysenna]

Dam! That's some seriously cool, good looking cars. Love it!

[@markzebr6463]

My first event was at VIR in 2019. As I was driving over the bridge, I saw two Corvette C7s and two Ford GTs. I thought that I had died and gone to heaven. That feeling still hasn't gone away even as i attend eight events each year since then. Thanks for watching. Glad you enjoyed it.

[@pikestance8851]

Dude, the Iron Lynx / Dames raced in Qatar 1812 last week. So, they have raced since Daytona.

[@markzebr6463]

Yes you are right. As in true Monty Python fashion, I shall sack myself. Thanks for watching. My replacement will do better next time.

[@v1-vr-rotatev2-vy_vx31]

Yeah ,,Will be at the Long Beach Grand Prix

[@markzebr6463]

Good for you. Do a paddock tour for me and others. Thanks for watching.

[@BillAshtonNelo]

Take us inside

[@markzebr6463]

let me know what you would like to see. I do about eight events each year. At each race I do at least two paddock tours in order to 1: keep them short 2; cover as much as possible and 3: have more fun. Still didn't get that Lamborghini SG63 though. Will do next time.

[@PascaLM_]

Great visit ! In Europe we cannot get into the paddocks anymore.

[@markzebr6463]

I am surprised to hear that and disappointed as well. I should think that SRO events are open. Where are you from and which events do you attend. Isn't Le Mans open? Thanks for watching and, if you follow my channel, I attend 8 events each year. Only last year did I start this. It has been a blast.

[@fqeagles21]

love it

[@markzebr6463]

Thanks.

[@elliemoswete7879]

finally some content

[@markzebr6463]

Thanks for the kind words and for tuning in. Have several more venues visiting this year at some great races between IMSA, SRO and HSR. Hope to see you and here from you again.

[@adrianprado7981]

Nice video, you just got a subscriber!!

[@markzebr6463]

WOW thanks. Glad you did as I will attend about eight events this year from IMSA, SRO and HSR. You can count on live real-time paddock tours each day until race time. Thanks for tuning in. If you collect die-cast race cars, check out my eve expanding collection of around 300 now , most in 1/43 scale.

@@markzebr6463 you have my dream job/life 🥰🥰

[@markzebr6463]

Thanks Adrian. I love racing and collecting model race cars. Both hobbies are getting very expensive and my wife, of whom has more self control, is cutting me back. I will still be going to 4 more events this year, 3 less than last year.@@adrianprado7981

[@adrianprado7981]

@@markzebr6463 what model cars do you have, I have sparky Porsche 911 2019 and mini GT’s Corvette c8 2022. Can’t wait for more vids

[@markzebr6463]

Adrian, check out my playlist. I started my channel 11 months ago reviewing model cars Nascar 1/24, Sports Cars and Prototypes 1/18, 1,43 and 1/64. Brands such as Spark, Looksmart, HPI, TSM, Eebro, IXO, Tarmac Works, Sparky and MIni GT. All tols around 200 cars for you to check out. My reviews start with historical context and then look at packaging, presentation, features, details, quality control etc.....I have videos highlighting each brand, collecting guides, must buys and ones to avoid. Take a look,. reach out to me at [e-mail].

[@rsr-warrior]

Thanks for the good views bro!

[@markzebr6463]

Always my pleasure. Hope you enjoyed the race and Thanks for watching.

[@Jay23838]

Can’t wait to go the Sebring to watch the race

[@markzebr6463]

Oh my god, YOU love it If you camp on the Green Park, dont plan on sleeping for 5 days .Check out my video about a taste of Sebring. And if you do , look for me at the Corvette Coral, or email me at [e-mail]

[@Jay23838]

@@markzebr6463 well I couldn’t see this because there was no internet idk why but the race was AWESOME the battle with the 01 and 40 Acura was intense and making my heart beat fast but I was cheering for 40 Acura and I’m happy they’ve won!

[@markzebr6463]

It was a great race. I always re-watch every race on KZbin as you miss so much at live events. See watching this with you in about 2 weeks.

[@adr1uno638]

8:18 are those BoP weight on the passenger floor ?

[@markzebr6463]

Yes. That is the ballast box. Think of it as like weight lifting weights stacked on top of one another. A dtiver of a Mercedes AMG GT4 told me that BOP added 120 pounds added to his car and not added to others. Nobody is ever happy about BOP.

[@TBolt1]

7:53 Porsche? You mean Ferrari, right? Then, you said 288 - you mean 488? 😅

[@ViszysClips]

yeah bro does not know what hes saying lol

[@wiktorturo2417]

It's a Ferrari 296 GT3

[@markzebr6463]

Yes, you are all right. In true Monty Python fashion, I have sacked myself. Not enough coffee o two little alcohol form last night. Seriously, I record these events live and with only a cell phone. No editing is done and no fancy Grpahics. After recording I upload so that you can see it in real time. I try do short paddock tours each event and cove as much as possible. It is a one-man job. I appreciate that you tune in and watch enough of each video to catch my errors. I know when I make them and have deleted some immediately. I know that you all are well informed and will catch my mistakes. Thanks for watching.

[@rodshephard3837]

Great video!!

[@markzebr6463]

First off, THANKS. I am a low-tech one-man show. Every video is uploaded just after being filmed with no editing or graphics so that you can see it real-time. I appreciate your tuning in. If this is your first time, I attend events almost every other month from IMSA, SRO and HSR. I will do reviews and tours at each one. drop mee a line at [e-mail]. I will fill you in and if you have any requests, I will try to see that you see it.
