  Sebring Raceway - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Sebring Raceway is one of the oldest continuously-operating race tracks in the United States, its first race being run in 1950.
Many consider Sebring to be one of the classic race tracks in North American sports car racing, and the 12 Hours of Sebring, 24 Hours of Daytona, and 24 Hours of Le Mans to be the trifecta of sports car racing.
Sebring is most notable for hosting the 12 Hours of Sebring, sanctioned at various times by the FIA, IMSA, and now, the American Le Mans Series, known as ALMS.
