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.
