The 12 hours of Sebring is one of the most prestigious, difficult and storied races in America. The 24 Hours of Daytona, also on the IMSA calendar, sounds more glamorous, but the track at Sebring is much more demanding. The driving is more physical. Mistakes are more punishing.
Caleb Jacobs has the race recaps here and here . But here are a few more looks at the weekend’s festivities.
