iRacing.com 120 Minutes of Sebring

The 12 Hours of Sebring has been a hallmark of the international racing scene since the early 1950s. The cast of race winners reads like a Who’s Who of Sports Car racing including Juan Manuel Fangio, Phil Hill, Mario Andretti, Dan Gurney, Hurley Haywood, Tom Kristensen, Allan McNish and Johnny O’Connell.

The 2010 iRacing World Tour is a virtual cornucopia of many of the world’s most legendary automobile races. Beginning with the Rolex 2.4 Hours at Daytona in January, the iWT features one or more classic events per month throughout the course of the 2010 racing season. Races are contested on speedways, short tracks and road courses, in stock cars, sports cars, IndyCars and grand prix cars, over distances ranging from sprint races to enduros, on the same weekend as their real world counterparts.

Following each iWT event, the top finishers are announced on the iRacing members home page and inRacingNews, with prizes awarded at random to participating drivers.

iWT events are open to all iRacing members, regardless of license level. Drivers qualify and are gridded based on qualifying times and iRating. There is no entry fee, but you must own the car/track content to participate.

Each event carries its own supplementary rules and regulations. Be sure and check back for individual event details.
