The IMSA WeatherTech SportsCar Championship returns to action Saturday (March 20) at Sebring International Raceway for the Mobil 1 12 Hours of Sebring presented by Advance Auto Parts. There will be 36 cars on the grid for the 12-hour classic, split between five classes.
With Action Express Racing confirming a couple of weeks ago that their second car with Ally sponsorship will do the full Michelin Endurance Cup, all seven cars that participated in Daytona are back. All seven teams are running three-driver lineups. That means that drivers such as Helio Castroneves, Mike Rockenfeller and AJ Allmendinger are not entered.

And a new racing season dawns, as it has for close to six decades, with the Rolex 24 At Daytona.
Unique among the world’s headline motorsports events, there are no competing races on the international calendar this weekend. Thus, the Daytona International Speedway paddock is akin to a scene in a “Star Wars” cantina this week, such is the diverse cast of characters attracted to the event from throughout the motorsports universe.
Ferrari Dealer Selling $180,000 Alfa Romeo Giulietta TCR Race Car

There’s an old adage in racing that you need a small fortune to make it, and unfortunately that’s still true. As such, Ferrari of Houston recently put a 2019 Alfa Romeo Giulietta TCR race car up for sale at the price of $180,000. Sure, that’s quite a lot of dough, but what exactly is this car and why is it so expensive?
To the uninitiated, the TCR series features race-prepped production hot hatchbacks, and travels to some of the best race tracks in the world. As the cars are very close in terms of performance, the racing is always very competitive and entertaining.
