Sebring
is world famous for the annual 12 Hours of Sebring endurance
race, part of the prestigious American Le Mans Series. Every
year on the third Saturday of March, the raceway hosts thousands
of race fans from around the world to witness the historic 12
hour classic. All the legends have raced at Sebring... Mario
Andretti, A.J. Foyt, Dan Gurney, Stirling Moss, Juan Manuel Fangio,
Phil Hill and dozens of other international motor racing legends,
driving race cars built by the world's great manufacturers such
as Ferrari, Porsche, Jaguar, Audi, Ford, Maserati, Aston Martin
and Nissan. Today, Sebring International Raceway is owned by the Panoz Motorsports Group, whose founder Dr. Don Panoz revived the famous Sebring circuit in 1999 by initiating a multi-million dollar enhancement program. The track is active 365 days a year with automotive testing, club events, racing schools, corporate events and other activities. Conveniently located adjacent to the Sebring Regional Airport, it is less than 100 miles from Tampa, Orlando, West Palm Beach and Sarasota.

After
an extremely successful cooperation in 2009, Alpina Genève and
Sebring International Raceway have again united for the 58th
annual edition of the legendary 12 Hours of Sebring. As
a result, Alpina will be named the Official Timekeeper of the
event, scheduled to take place from March 17-20, 2010 on Sebring
International Raceway in Florida, USA. In the racing world, the
12 Hours of Sebring are considered among the main events on the
international calendar, not solely because it is the opening
race of the 2010-season of the American Le Mans Series (ALMS).
