History of Sebring
Sebring International Raceway is one of America’s oldest road racing tracks. The legendary circuit evolved from Hendricks Field, a World War II airbase, in 1950 when aviation and racing enthusiast, Alec Ulmann, promoted a six-hour race using the old runways. After the 1952 12-hour endurance race, Sebring burst onto the racing scene.

Sebring has hosted former winners like Mario Andretti, Stirling Moss, Dan Gurney, Phil Hill, Al Holbert, A.J. Foyt, Bobby Rahal and Tom Kristensen. Sebring is also famous for celebrity participation, including Steve McQueen, Paul Newman, Gene Hackman and more.
