Summary

The Sebring race track is almost as old as Le Mans and its history is just as interesting. Many historic motorsport events are held there and the Sebring Historics took place from December 4 to 7, 2014. Our report with photos by James Boone shows a few impressions in the varied photo gallery.

Preview (beginning of the article)

When we Central Europeans think of historic motorsport races, we automatically think of summer months. Summer temperatures in the fall can only be found in Spain or Portugal. But summer temperatures in December? Well, you have to travel to Florida, for example, where it is well known that there is no winter. And so the Sebring Historics took place in the best summer weather conditions. We are almost all familiar with racing cars that are on the road on local racetracks and you often have to wait a long time to discover a new contender at the start. That's why it's twice as much fun for us at races in the USA or Australia, where there are cars on the grid that you'll probably never see here.
