First run in March 1952, 12 Hours of Sebring saw some of the tightest racing over the ensuing 64 years, and this year, the 65th running of this legendary race, promises to be every bit as exciting. Forty-six cars across four classes will take to the 3.74-mile concrete circuit on Saturday, to battle it out for the highly sought-after honours.
