2014 12 Hours of Sebring – Race Profile

The 2014 running of the 12 Hours of Sebring was held Saturday, March 15th at the 3.74-mile, 17-turn Sebring International Raceway in Sebring, Florida. Time was the defining element in separating the wheat from the chaff at the 62nd Mobil 1 Twelve Hours of Sebring, which came to its dramatic conclusion with the winners being rewarded for their perseverance over the 12-hour endurance contest.

Roughly a half hour into the race a dramatic fire that took out the #33 Riley Motorsports SRT Viper GT3-R marked the first of what would eventually become 11 full course yellows. While the repeated stoppage of racing can frustrate the drivers and interrupt their rhythm, team strategy is often the beneficiary with not only fuel and tires conserved but also the need to pit.
