12 Hours of Sebring 2026

The world's oldest active sports car race. Full team and driver breakdown for the 2026 event.

The Four Classes

All four classes run on track simultaneously — faster classes lap slower ones, making every moment of the race multi-layered.

GTP
Prototype-based hybrid hypercars. The fastest, most technologically advanced machines — think Ferrari, Porsche, BMW, Cadillac, Acura.
LMP2
Open-cockpit prototypes built to a spec chassis. Cheaper than GTP, still blindingly fast. A proving ground for up-and-coming talent.
GTD Pro
Factory-backed GT cars with professional-only driver lineups. Ferrari, Porsche, Corvette, BMW, Aston Martin, McLaren.
GTD
Same GT machinery as GTD Pro but with at least one amateur (Bronze or Silver rated) driver per car — the gentleman racer class.

Featured Event: 12 Hours of Sebring 2026

Since 1950, Sebring International Raceway — a former World War II airfield in central Florida — has hosted what is now the world's oldest continuously running sports car race. It's the second round of the IMSA season and counts as part of the prestigious Michelin Endurance Cup.

The bumpy concrete surface chews up tires and cars alike. Pit strategy, driver changes, mechanical reliability, and pure pace all have to be perfect. That's what makes it great.
