2026 12 Hours of Sebring

International Motor Sports Association (IMSA) president John Doonan confirmed the race was a part of the 2026 IMSA SportsCar Championship (IMSA SCC) in March 2025.^[1] It was the thirteenth consecutive year it will be a part of the IMSA SCC, and the 74th 12 Hours of Sebring. The 12 Hours of Sebring was the second of eleven scheduled sports car endurance races by IMSA, and the second of five races on the Michelin Endurance Cup (MEC).^[1] The race took place at the 17-turn 3.741-mile (6.021 km) Sebring International Raceway in Sebring, Florida on March 21, 2026.^[1]

The race saw the global debut of the Lamborghini Temerario GT3, the replacement for the previous Huracán model.^[2]

Before the race, Julien Andlauer, Laurin Heinrich, and Felipe Nasr lead the GTP Drivers' Championship with 380 points.^[3] In LMP2, Malthe Jakobsen, George Kurtz, Alex Quinn, and Toby Sowery lead the Drivers' Championship with 373 points.^[3] The GTD Pro Drivers' Championship is being led by Connor De Phillippi, Dan Harper, Max Hesse, and Neil Verhagen with 366 points.^[3] With 382 points, Lucas Auer, Indy Dontje, Philip Ellis, and Trent Hindman are leading the GTD Drivers' Championship.^[3] Porsche, BMW, and Mercedes-AMG are leading their respective Manufactures' Championships while Porsche Penske Motorsport, CrowdStrike Racing by APR, Paul Miller Racing, and Winward Racing each lead their own Teams' Championships.^[3]

Friday's afternoon qualifying was broken into four sessions, with one session for the GTP, LMP2, GTD Pro, and GTD classes each.^[5] The rules dictated that all teams nominated a driver to qualify their cars, with the Pro-Am LMP2 class requiring a Bronze rated driver to qualify the car. The competitors' fastest lap times determined the starting order. IMSA then arranged the grid to put GTPs ahead of the LMP2, GTD Pro, and GTD cars.^[6]

Pole positions in each class are indicated in bold and with ‡.
