One of the oldest classic American sports car circuits, the Sebring International Raceway in Florida is also one of the few remaining tracks that have continuously been used for major motorsport events since it staged its first race in 1950. Even today there is open seating and no limit to the circuit's capacity.

A US Air Force base during the Second World War, the Sebring International Raceway was converted into one of the leading motorsport circuits after the war and hosted the first USA Grand Prix in 1959. Seven years prior to this, in 1952, the facility staged the first Sebring 12-hour race - now an iconic sports car race, won on three occasions by Mario Andretti.

The "12 Hours of Sebring" is one of a series of endurance races, including Le Mans and Daytona, which is regarded as the unofficial endurance triple crown. The circuit is renowned for its rough surfaces and tough passages on old concrete, which largely originates from the days when fighter jets would land here. As a result, crowds are often treated to spectacular scenes as cars throw up showers of sparks as they cross from one section to the next.
