Title: UKGPL Season 40 (Spring 2022) 66 71 Can-Am - Sebring - May 20 Post by: Pete Bennett on May 17, 2022, 11:09:30 PM +0100 Season 40 – CanAM – Round 9 – Sebring 12h 1967
"The first 12 Hours of Sebring was held on March 15, 1952, and the event would grow to become a major international race. In 1959, the racetrack hosted the first Formula One Grand Prix in the United States. Due to the poor attendance and high costs, the next United States Grand Prix was held at Riverside. For much of Sebring's history, the track followed a 5.2 miles (8.4 km) layout. In 1967, the Webster Turn between the hairpin and the top of the track was removed and replaced with the faster Green Park Chicane, which was closer to the hairpin and allowed a flat-out run through a very fast corner to the top of the track and the runway; this made the circuit 50 yards longer. The circuit was also widened. Many of these changes were prompted by the 1966 12 Hours where 5 people were killed during the race. Another dangerous section was the Warehouse straight; after a crash where a Porsche went into one of the warehouses and into a crowd, the organizers installed a chicane to move the Warehouse straight further away from the warehouses and buildings. We will use the 1967 layout." ROLLING STARTS Red Line is at the exit of the hairpin. (https://i.ibb.co/BV9pqDB/Map-sebr67.png) (https://imgbb.com/)
