Mobil 1 Twelve Hours of Sebring 2027, Sebring

The Mobil 1 Twelve Hours of Sebring is a 12-hour sports car race in the IMSA WeatherTech SportsCar Championship. It runs on the 3.74-mile circuit at Sebring International Raceway, in the middle of Florida.

The 2027 race is on Saturday 20 March 2027, and the raceway says it is the 75th running. The race week, with practice, support races and fan events, runs Wednesday 17 to Saturday 20 March 2027.

The raceway calls itself North America’s oldest permanent road racing facility, established in 1950. The 12-hour race has run there since 1952.

Dates and hours

• Race week: Wednesday 17 to Saturday 20 March 2027.
• The race: Saturday 20 March 2027.
• Two-day ticket holders can enter after 8pm on Thursday.
• Campers may stay until noon on the day after the race.

The raceway lists the 2027 times as TBD, and the 2027 green flag time is not published. IMSA’s 2027 event schedule still shows its sessions as coming soon.

The raceway’s fan guide lists a Tuesday Fan Fest and transporter parade in downtown Sebring and a Wednesday fan track walk. It has not posted the 2027 dates or times for those, and says the 2027 entertainment schedule will be announced later.

Tickets

Tickets are on sale through Ticketmaster from the raceway’s site. The raceway sells three kinds of general admission:

• Four-day: Wednesday to Saturday.
• Two-day: Friday and Saturday, with entry from 8pm Thursday.
• Saturday only: race day.

Single-day tickets are sold for Saturday only. The raceway explains that once you are in, you can stay until Sunday morning after the race ends.

Prices are not listed on the raceway’s pages. They appear only inside the Ticketmaster checkout, which was not readable for this page.

Children 12 and under get in free with general admission when they are with a paying adult. Hospitality areas and the car corrals need a ticket for everyone, whatever their age.

Highlands County resident, military and student tickets are sold at the raceway office with ID or proof of residency. All tickets are digital, there is no print-at-home option, and there are no refunds. Tickets for a postponed event carry over to the rescheduled date.

Car corrals

If you own the right car, a corral pass lets you park it trackside with other owners. The raceway sells three corrals, each at $175 per car including tax and fees:

• Corvette Corral: limited to 200 Corvettes, near Turn 17, with covered hospitality and unreserved grandstand seats at Turn 17.
• Porsche Corral: limited to 200 Porsches of all types, near Turn 17, with covered hospitality and Turn 17 grandstand seats.
• Ford Racing Corral: limited to 100 Mustangs or Raptors, in the paddock near Victory Lane, with an owners’ lounge and a Mustang and Raptor parade lap session.

Corral passes no longer include tickets. Every person in the car needs a corral pass and a gate ticket. The raceway says the corrals have sold out well in advance in past years. Lexus, Cadillac and Lamborghini corrals are sold through those manufacturers and their dealers, not by the raceway.

Parking and camping

Every vehicle that enters the raceway needs its own parking pass. That includes cars, trucks, RVs, trailers and motorcycles. If you tow a trailer with a motorcycle inside, that is three passes. Parking passes do not include admission.

A general pass lets you park anywhere in the Midway and Green Park. The paddock needs a special pass. Golf carts need a separate entry pass, $150 at the Gate 3 ticket window.

Free car parking is on Carroll Shelby Drive near Gate 5, a short walk into the paddock over the Ulmann walk-over bridge. Overnight camping outside the gates is near Gate 4, at the corner of Carroll Shelby Road and Madrid, at $50 for a 50 by 50 foot space.

Tent camping inside is included in the ticket. RV passes cost extra. Reserved trackside RV spaces go to renewing holders first, and the rest go to a waitlist. Crosley Valley and Flightline have power and water. Showers are in Green Park, the Midway and the paddock.

What to see

Grandstands are at Turn 3, Turn 7 on both sides of the track, and Turn 17. Viewing mounds sit near most corners, and a walking trail runs around much of the circuit. Only the Corvette and Porsche corral grandstands are reserved.

The raceway lists these fan activities for race week: concerts and live music, a grid walk and driver introductions, autograph sessions, an open paddock, a Ford Raptor course, a Cadillac ride and drive, and a Hall of Fame classic car display.

For 2027 the raceway is naming a Class of 75, the 75 most successful drivers in the race’s history, in stages before the event. It has also unveiled a new Alec Ulmann perpetual trophy for the 75th running.

Paid hospitality ranges from the open-air Gurney Terrace above pit lane, which allows your own coolers and chairs, to Club Sebring, the Luxury Lounge, the Sebring Officers Club and Club Seven at the Seven Sebring Raceway Hotel.
