Unfortunately for Jaguar<\/a>, the only XKR<\/a> to make it to the finish of the 2010 12 Hours of Sebring was the green and black pace car. Sebring was to have been the full-season competition debut for the new JaguarRSR XKR GT2, but it looks like team has a lot more work to do before the car’s a potential race winner. After consistently running near the bottom of the GT2 class time charts in practice and qualifying, the race proved to be the icing on a stale cake. <\/p>\n

Less than an hour into the 12-hour enduro, the XKR pulled into the pits with team principal Paul Gentilozzi only having completed 11 laps. It’s been reported that one of the cylinder heads on the 5.0-liter V8 cracked, an issue that couldn’t be resolved in the pits or paddock in time to get the car back in the race. Hopefully, the team will take the lessons of Sebring and be able to implement some changes before the next event at Long Beach in four weeks. It’d be great to see the Jag in contention with the Ferraris<\/a>, Porsches<\/a> and Corvettes<\/a>. <\/p>\n
