2013 12 Hours of Sebring – Race Profile

Avatar photoSports Car Digest

The 2013 running of the 12 Hours of Sebring was held Saturday, March 16th at the 3.74-mile, 17-turn Sebring International Raceway in Sebring, Florida.

After 12 hours of intense racing, the winners of the 61st Mobil 1 12 Hours of Sebring were greeted by fireworks as they crossed the finish line at Sebring International Raceway. America’s oldest circuit is also one of the world’s most challenging, in part owing to the flat and featureless landscape.Long straightaways, tight corners and switchbacks contribute to driver fatigue making concentration paramount to staying on the bumpy track which itself generates tremendous stress on the suspension and produces a skittering effect under braking. A handful of laps on this track requires skill and talent, 12 hours of racing on it demands superior endurance from both driver and machine.
