WHY THIS MATTERS

Since 1950, the 12 Hours of Sebring has been America's proving ground for endurance racing. It tested engineering, stamina, and strategy against the world's best.

In 2026, as the United States marks 250 years of independence, this event honors a competition where American builders, drivers, and teams proved they belonged on the global stage. From the Crosley's clever victory, to Cunningham's breakthrough and Shelby's championship-winning Cobras, Sebring shaped American motorsport.

On March 21, that history runs again.
