HSR and Porsche Sprint Challenge Return to Sebring Friday  

By

With the dust and victory-lane confetti barely settled after this past weekend’s 71st running of the Mobil 1 Twelve Hours of Sebring IMSA WeatherTech SportsCar Championship race, Historic Sportscar Racing (HSR) rolls into Sebring International Raceway this week for its season-opening HSR Spring Fling, Friday-Sunday. A full schedule of HSR vintage and historic endurance and sprint races share the weekend card with the USAC-sanctioned Porsche Sprint Challenge, USF Pro2000, USF 2000 and USF Juniors series in what will be the third-straight weekend of competition on the legendary 3.74-mile Sebring International Raceway.

Dedicated to historic and vintage motorsport competition, HSR offers a variety of classes and run groups for sports cars and other road racing machines from the last 65 years and beyond. A jam-packed schedule of events includes four feature races and the always exciting WeatherTech Sprint races for all run groups in a Saturday-Sunday doubleheader format.

The HSR feature-race lineup includes Sunday‘s one-hour B.R.M. Chronographes Enduro Challenge at 8:15 a.m. and the weekend-opening SascoSports International/American Challenge sprint and Stoner Car Care Global GT and Classic RS Cup races that go off back-to-back late Friday afternoon.

The one-hour B.R.M. Enduro is a showcase of specific and period-matching groups of race cars divided into Vintage, Historic, Prototype and GT Classic (GTC) and GT Modern (GTM) classes. Vintage and GTC features a variety of cars from the 1960s, ’70s and ’80s. Historic, Prototype and GTM are home to race cars from primarily this century and the 1990s.

A three-day ticket is just $25 in advance, with car parking only $10 and weekend-long RV parking is $50. Tent camping is included in ticket prices. Buy tickets online at www.SebringRaceway.com.
