The IMSA WeatherTech SportsCar Championship returns to action Saturday (March 20) at Sebring International Raceway for the Mobil 1 12 Hours of Sebring presented by Advance Auto Parts. There will be 36 cars on the grid for the 12-hour classic, split between five classes.
With Action Express Racing confirming a couple of weeks ago that their second car with Ally sponsorship will do the full Michelin Endurance Cup, all seven cars that participated in Daytona are back. All seven teams are running three-driver lineups. That means that drivers such as Helio Castroneves, Mike Rockenfeller and AJ Allmendinger are not entered.
Deliveries of the new road-going 911 GT3 won t start until the fall.
Last week, Porsche lifted the wraps off the new 911 GT3, the most track-focused 992-generation 911 road car yet. Deliveries of the new road-going 911 GT3 aren t scheduled to start until this fall, but an even more hardcore version has already arrived in America.
Previewed last year, the first 23 examples of the new track-only Porsche 911 GT3 Cup have now been delivered in North America at a facility near the Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport in Georgia. These are the first customer race cars based on the new 992-generation 911 that will compete in one-make racing series.

And a new racing season dawns, as it has for close to six decades, with the Rolex 24 At Daytona.
Unique among the world’s headline motorsports events, there are no competing races on the international calendar this weekend. Thus, the Daytona International Speedway paddock is akin to a scene in a “Star Wars” cantina this week, such is the diverse cast of characters attracted to the event from throughout the motorsports universe.
