Roanoke, Va.

Saturday March 28th marked the annual Sebring 12 Hour event around the bumpy airfield circuit located
in central Florida. Agee Motorsports would field 3 GT3 entries for the event.

#7 Chevrolet Corvette Z06 GT3 driven by Robert Cancian, Christoph Brandstetter, Robert Eggert, and
John Langan.
The #17 Ferrari 296 GT3 driven by Shane Hunter, Mark Schindel, Nathan Lafayette, and Todd Marimpietri.
The #27 Chevrolet Corvette Z06 GT3 driven by Mark Kedrowski, Nick Melillo, Rene Reid, and David Hudson.

The #7, and #17 cars would end up in the same split, and the #27 would actually just be 2 splits away, but
would be racing as #17 in there split.

We will break the races down in 3 sections for the 3 cars.
The #7 Vette, would start 25th in class, P52 overall out of 59 cars. Robert Cancian would start the race and
worked his way up inside the top 10. The team would have a solid race, running inside the top 10 till
Christoph encountered a spinning Ferrari out of sunset bend over 1/2 way into the race as they
were running in P11. This would send the car down the order to P25, where it would spend the remainder
of the event clawing it’s way back to a finish of P24 in class at the finish. Certainly not the finish the team
had wanted, but a solid effort, and showed the never give up attitude we show here at Agee Motorsports.

The #17 Ferrari, would start P17 in class, P44 overall. Mark Schindel would take the wheel for the start, and
would find trouble first as he battled the heat, and traffic on the bumpy circuit. Race temps were higher
than practice had been and the team battled heat in the front tires that would see the car understeer, that
would cause them to find trouble a couple times, that would drop them to P31 in class. From here they
would start the climb back through the field, and would enjoy a relatively trouble free run the rest of the
day and wind up finishing in P14! Solid effort, that could have been so much better with a little luck. Great
effort Guys!!!

The #27/17 Corvette, would have a troublesome day, they started P19 in class, P43 overall, and Mark
Kedrowski would start the car, and ran 2 flawless sints that would see him running P4 as he prepared for
the teams first pit stop. However on his in lap, he would get tangled up with the eventual class winning
Mclaren that was running P5 at the time, and see the car sit in the pits for 8 minutes getting repairs. This
would drop them to P26 in class, and they battled adversity through out the remainder of the event
spending multiple trips to the garage area for lengthy repairs. They would eventually finish P25 last car
running of the cars running at the finish. The team basically used the remainder of the event as a test
session feeling out the nuances of the car. Way to hang in till the end Guys!!!

The teams next event will be the grueling Nurburgring 24 in Gemany, in May!! Until then!!
