Just a little taster for those of us still in Blighty, there will be (hopefully - still finalising the finer details today) a charity auction that Radio Le Mans are promoting for us of some superb sportscar racing memorabilia in aid of the Whizz Kidz charity "The Movement For Non-Mobile Children", all collected at Sebring or since by Geoff Gibbs as follows (links to piccies of the items):
Andy Wallace driving gloves and boots (signed and used!):

2 flags signed by the 6 drivers; a brolly; ladies t shirt; 2 Le Mans packs with union jack/Bentley black t shirts with lapel badge, car stickers, key ring, rubber badge and set of postcards; 2 caps; mouse mat.
We have also been promised stuff at the circuit from The Racer's Group, Prodrive and Team Bucknum Racing.
Good luck!
Cheers
