NEW OFFICES AT SEBRING
INTERNATIONAL RACEWAY
Sebring International Raceway's new administration
building is now complete. The new 10,000 square-foot
two-story structure includes staff offices, track registration
center, gift shop and ticket office.
"This building will be a new landmark for Sebring," stated
Raceway President and General Manager Tres Stephenson. "It
will better serve race fans, officials and competitors
and further enhances Sebring's stature in the motorsports
industry."
Racing began at Sebring in 1950, when the former WWII
B-17 training base hosted a six-hour endurance race.
Since then Sebring has been synonymous with international
sports car racing. The 56th annual Mobil 1 Twelve Hours
of Sebring takes place on Saturday, March 15, kicking-off
the 2008 American Le Mans Series season.
 Since acquiring Sebring International Raceway in 1998,
Panoz Motor Sports Group has invested millions of dollars
in upgrades to the facility. Despite the raceway's extensive
history, it has never had a permanent headquarters. The
new facility will replace existing office trailers, which
have been relocated to make room for the new building.
"This new construction project represents the continued
commitment of Panoz Motor Sports Group in maintaining
Sebring's reputation as a world-class motorsports facility," stated
PMG President and CEO Scott Atherton. "This structure
will be an asset to the entire community."
Mike Willingham, Sebring Airport Authority Executive
Director added: "Over the past ten years, Panoz
Motor Sports Group has made dramatic improvements to
Sebring International Raceway. This office building joins
a long list of important new projects at the Sebring
Regional Airport and Industrial Park and produces a positive
impact on the area economy."
