Sebring\u2019s lasting connection between historic race cars and aviation will be celebrated with sports cars and classic airplanes parked next to each other on Sebring’s hallowed ground. As Sebring remains a partially active airport, vintage aircraft will be landing on one of the Sebring runways and taxiing into the paddock to be displayed alongside the historic racecars.<\/p>\n

“It is an honor for HSR to join with Sebring International Raceway in recreating seven decades of the 12 Hours of Sebring, and to pay tribute to the iconic facility’s rich aviation history,” said HSR President David Hinton. “On the racing side, we will be able to showcase all generations of sports car racing in the United States, from the iconic makes of the 1950s all the way up to modern Daytona Prototypes that will soon to be retired from IMSA.”<\/p>\n

The weekend will also include season-ending events for the 2016 HSR sprint and enduro series, including the organization\u2019s year-end awards celebration. For complete information, please visit http:\/\/hsrrace.com\/<\/a><\/p>\n
