Description (from track web site)
Sebring International Raceway is America’s premier
sports car racing facility. Nestled among the orange groves and
cattle ranches of central Florida, it is the oldest permanent road
racing track in North America, evolving from a World War II air base.
Sebring is world famous for the annual 12
Hours of Sebring endurance race, part of the prestigious American Le
Mans Series. Every year on the third Saturday of March, the
raceway hosts thousands of race fans from around the world to witness
the historic 12 hour classic. All the legends have raced at
Sebring … Mario Andretti, A.J. Foyt, Dan Gurney, Stirling Moss, Juan
Manuel Fangio, Phil Hill and dozens of other international motor racing
legends, driving race cars built by the world’s great manufacturers
such as Ferrari, Porsche, Jaguar, Audi, Ford, Maserati, Aston Martin and
Nissan.
Today, Sebring International Raceway is
owned by the Panoz Motorsports Group, whose founder Dr. Don Panoz
revived the famous Sebring circuit in 1999 by initiating a multi-million
dollar enhancement program. The track is active 365 days a year
with automotive testing, club events, racing schools, corporate events
and other activities.
Conveniently located adjacent to the
Sebring Regional Airport, it is less than 100 miles from Tampa, Orlando,
West Palm Beach and Sarasota. The raceway has its own hotel, the
Four Points by Sheraton Chateau Elan, and is the home to two major
racing schools.
