Sebring, Florida, United States

The second leg of IMSA’s "36 Hours of Florida" takes the WeatherTech SportsCar Championship to the brutal, concrete-laden Sebring International Raceway. The primary challenge for the 55-car field is the legendary bumpiness of the 3.74-mile former airfield, which tests the structural integrity of the high-tech GTP hybrids. For the Porsche Penske Motorsport squad, the objective is to maintain their perfect start to the season following their Daytona triumph. Strategically, the race is a war of attrition where the goal is simply to be on the lead lap during the final hour. Jack Aitken, starting from the pole in the No. 31 Whelen Cadillac, aims to use his track position to stay clear of the multi-class traffic "chaos" that often decides the race in the transition from day to night. With 11 GTP entries and a deep GTD Pro field, the tactical priority for teams is balancing aggressive pace with the extreme tire degradation caused by Sebring's abrasive surface.
