12 Hours of Sebring is a historic race being held from 1952 on Sebring International Raceway. The track is very old school: narrow, strange inconsistent cambers and of course the bumpy airbase section. Yes, this track is made on and next to a WW2 airfield. The last and first sections of the race track have a surface like no other - concrete blocks. It’s not uncommon for cars to jump to the outside over the bumps in the corners. Having a good spring and damper setup is very important to have a safe car to race for 12h on this surface.
ENDURANCE USING ONE ACCOUNT
From now, it’s enough to have one WSS account per team to participate in the race. IT IS NOT mandatory to have at least 2 drivers in a team anymore!
All the teams in the race will have to make 5 (five) Long Pitstops, which will take 2 minutes each. It doesn’t matter if you do a driver swap during the Long Pitstop or not. However, you need to represent a team to participate in this event, even if you will race using one account. Find a team or create a team here.
ENDURANCE USING MULTIPLE ACCOUNTS
It is also possible for a team to race from different WSS accounts. You will need to make min 5 (five) Long Pitstops to do the driver swaps. To race with your team members you need to join or create a team. Maximum 4 (four) drivers in one team are allowed.
REAL PENALTY SYSTEM UPDATE
There has been massive progress and all the issues that troubled 24 Hours of Daytona have been resolved! We can announce that WSS was co-working with the Real Penalty creator and we will use the newest generation app with many nice updates.
CAR CLASSES
The race will have two classes- GT4 and GT3. In each class, you can choose from many different cars. There are open setups for both classes to fully adjust the car for your team on this bumpy track surface.

Divisions are created based on team ratings. The highest rating teams will be in Division 1. Team rating is the average of team drivers’ ratings who registered to the race (not all drivers in the team).

- How will the incident system work during the race?
Incident points are calculated depending on crash impact speed ranging 1-2 for a single contact. Maximum incidents per race is set to 50. After the team exceeds 50 incidents stop n go (10 s) penalty applies.
- STOP n GO penalty
Stop n Go penalty must be served in any place of the pitlane but not in your pit box. If you get a penalty entering the pits, the penalty must be served in another lap. If the pitlane was entered for a driver swap, there will be extra wait time added to the driver swap countdown.
-How will cut warnings work?
The warning goes to all team drivers. If one driver gets a warning, second and other drivers will still have it after the driver swap. Cut warnings are set to 4. Exceeding the number of warnings will result in a drive-through penalty (entering and leaving the pitlane). After you serve a drive-through penalty, the cut warning will reset to 0.
