Every community has an identity. Sometimes that identity is negative, sometimes it's so-so and other times it's something special. In Sebring, that image is all about international car racing and to the people who care about fast cars and a historic, grueling 12-hour race, nothing is better than the 12 Hours Of Sebring.

Racing fans have poured into Sebring for decades to watch fast cars driven by great drivers navigate our historic track. They balance speed, stamina and great engineering to take home the trophy. Legends are made here and Sebring is full of memories for all race enthusiasts.

Some of those memories are made on the track; others are in the celebrations that surround the historic race. Whatever your favorite memories are, plenty more are in store for anyone enjoying this annual event.

Many longtime race enthusiasts have made Sebring their home for one week a year for longer than many locals have lived here. It's an annual ritual and they wouldn't miss this race for anything - or the parties. They see old friends, make new ones and have a blast.

This year promises to be another memorable event. The top cars and drivers are here, and so are the fans. The local folks are ready and so are the merchants.

If race fans need a change of scenery between races, our area is bound to please just about everybody. Race-related activities abound, and there are offerings of all kinds to enjoy.

We welcome race teams and fans to Sebring and Highlands County. Have fun, be safe and enjoy everything we have to offer in The Heartland.

We hope this is the best race ever and adds many more warm, wonderful memories.
