This race was a round of the now-defunct World Sportscar Championship, IMSA GT Championship, and American Le Mans Series. In 2012, the race was the opening event of the FIA World Endurance Championship in a one-off race before being returned to the American Le Mans Series for 2013. In 2014, the event became the second round of the WeatherTech SportsCar Championship. thumb|1949 Crosley Hotshot that won the 1950 Sebring Race.

The first race was a six-hour race on New Year's Eve 1950. The winning car is currently on display at the Edge Motor Museum in Memphis, Tennessee. The next race was held 14 months later as the first 12 Hours of Sebring.McCluggage Denise Racing Through History Autoweek February 20, 2012 62 4 66–67 Denise McCluggage The race is famous for its "once around the clock" action, starting during the day and finishing at night.https://www.si.com/vault/1965/03/22/607541/once-around-the-clock-swiftly-rolling ONCE AROUND THE CLOCK SWIFTLY ROLLING From 1953 to 1972 the 12 Hour was a round of the FIA's premier sports car series which was contested under various names including the World Sportscar Championship and the International Championship for Makes. In the 1950s, in addition to Le Mans, Sebring was on the calendar at the same time now-legendary races such as the Mille Miglia, Targa Florio, Carrera Panamericana and the RAC Tourist Trophy were on the World Sportscar Championship calendar, such was the prestige of the Sebring race. It was also the most important American race for the European teams and drivers and was the center of European racing activity in the United States; it was the only time during the 1950s that the big European manufacturer teams and drivers came to the United States in force, bringing with them considerable international media attention—the United States Formula One Grand Prix was not run until 1959. Top drivers who competed on the European circuit in the 1950s such as Juan Manuel Fangio, Alberto Ascari, Nino Farina, Stirling Moss and Mike Hawthorn all raced at Sebring, and the 1957 Sebring 12 Hours was the only American race the 5-time world champion Fangio ever won. In its early years, the Sebring circuit combined former airport runways with narrow two-lane service roads.https://www.racingcircuits.info/north-america/usa/sebring/#.XKpfWJhKiUk Sebring 2019-04-07 2019-03-09 https://web.archive.org/web/20190309065936/http://www.racingcircuits.info/north-america/usa/sebring#.XKpfWJhKiUk dead The 1966 event was a turning point in Sebring history, as the facilities and the safety of the circuit were heavily criticized. Five people were killed during the race, more than in the race's previous 15-year history. Bob McLean crashed while approaching the hairpin; his car rolled several times, struck a utility pole and then exploded, landing in a ditch and killing him. In another incident, Mario Andretti in his Ferrari 365 P2 tangled with Don Wester's Porsche 906 on the Warehouse Straight near the Webster Turns, killing four spectators and then crashing into a warehouse next to the track. After these events, the facilities were upgraded and the circuit layout was changed to eliminate the Webster Turns and creating the Green Park Chicane further down the track to move the straight away from the airport warehouses. There have been four deaths at the track since then. The track's technical layout and bumpy surface, combined with south-central Florida's hot weather, make it a test of a car's reliability. Many teams use Sebring as preparation for the 24 Hours of Le Mans.https://www.roadandtrack.com/motorsports/videos/a32997/nobody-tells-you-how-punishing-the-12-hours-of-sebring-really-is/ Nobody Tells You How Punishing the 12 Hours of Sebring Really Is March 21, 2017 In recent years, six overall victories have been achieved by the Audi R8, one fewer than the record seven wins of the Porsche 935.https://www.sportscardigest.com/porsche-celebrates-12-hours-of-sebring-winners/ Porsche Celebrates 12 Hours of Sebring Winners March 19, 2009 Tom Kristensen has won the race more times than anyone else, with six victories—in 1999–2000, 2005–2006, 2009 and in 2012.https://www.lemans.org/en/news/sebring-12-hours-statistics/6415 Sebring 12 hours statistics 2020 saw the race rescheduled to mid-November due to delays caused by the pandemic. It was the only season where Sebring was run twice in a season. In July, as part of restarting the season, a three-hour race was held in July with spectators. IMSA allowed spectators for this race. Races up until 1969 began with the traditional Le Mans start procedure, which was abolished at the end of the 1969 season following Jacky Ickx protesting at Le Mans 1969; 1970 was the first 12 Hours of Sebring started with a rolling start.
