Rohan Skea Racing - Sebring

For Rohan Skea, racing is in his blood, you will know what I am talking about if you have raced before. Rohan has both raced as a professional driver and owned a racing team. (Skea Racing). Not many have been the position that Rohan has, to both manage and race and to be able to share some of these unique insights and experiences. There is nothing that beats the sound of a thoroughbred racecar in the morning.

Sebring was a special race, 12 hours. The car gleaming on the start took a pounding, not to mention the drivers and that was just the start. This is endurance racing at its best. Some of my all time favorites are included below:

Rohan Skea's personal experiences

Some of Rohans personal experiences while with Skea Racing include: 

1. Braking from 310 km to 90km to do a 90 degree turn at Daytona in under one second. It’s like hitting a brick wall every minute and thirty seconds as you are going around the track. You become weightless as you pull 3.5g. Its quite a rush, like nothing other.
2. Laguna Seca – the corkscrew – which is at the top of the mountain on the race track – at high speeds you usually drop off the top of the track. In race conditions it is not uncommon for another car to come over the top of you. Awesome experience at high speed. In fact really awesome.
3. My Favourite race corners
   - Silverstone (UK ) – Bridge right hand corner taken at speed, one of the most exhilarating corners on any race track in the world.
   - Nubering (Germany) – the hair pin at the bottom of the hill, and the dog leg at the back straight (reverse camber).
   - Daytona (USA) – the Dip. No one tells you about this when you go there. Where the road goes under the racetrack to the in field, the race track has sunk slightly. On first high speed lap at a 38 degree angle, flying at about 260km+ and you hit the dip – race cars are not meant to fly.
4. Hardest track – Infinion Raceway (Santa Rosa – California). Before they surfaced it – it was one of the hardest tracks followed closely by Sebring.
5. Road Atlanta (Georgia) – the drop of the hill – bottom right hand corner – an absolute ripper!

Hopefully one of these days I will drive again and get to experience some of these corners and tracks again. Maybe sooner than you think. On the other hand, maybe not.
