The 12 Hours of Sebring is a sports car endurance race held at Sebring International Raceway since 1950, on the site of the former Hendricks Army Airfield World War II base. It forms one leg of motorsport's informal Triple Crown of endurance racing, alongside the 24 Hours of Le Mans and 24 Hours of Daytona.
Its motorsport heritage and race-week culture make it a major Florida sports event.
Sebring's track was built directly on a decommissioned World War II airfield, giving the circuit its famously bumpy, concrete-and-asphalt surface built from old runway sections rather than a purpose-designed racing road, a physical characteristic that makes the 12 Hours uniquely punishing on cars and drivers among major endurance races
Its Triple Crown status alongside Le Mans and Daytona places it among a small handful of races considered the sport's most prestigious endurance tests, and its record book reflects the depth of that competition: Tom Kristensen holds the most individual driver wins with six, Scuderia Ferrari has the most team wins with eight, and Porsche leads all manufacturers with twenty wins
The race continues its founding format from 1950
an around-the-clock endurance test starting in daylight and finishing after dark
and its Triple Crown pairing with Le Mans and Daytona preserves its status within a small
historically defined tier of the world's most prestigious endurance races
