1st Annual GMWC 1.2 Hours of Sebring

Sebring, FL- The Bantam Sport and Grand Touring cars of the Grid Motorsports World Cup have decended on the Florida town of Sebring for the 1st Annual 1.2 Hours of Sebring. This extended endurance event is the first for the GMWC this season and will be part of a year long series of special endurance events including the currently scheduled 2.4 Hours of Le Mans in June. The drivers have been preparing for weeks, and the race on Saturday will not only test the skill of the drivers, but their ability to concentrate over a distance which is approximately 60% longer than the average 45 minute length of the standard Grand Prix races.

The race will feature two distinct classes, each with a variety of cars. The Bantam Sport class is kin to the Daytona Prototypes, and the three styles also come with differing engines which allow for many combinations on race day. The Demon, Proton, and Fabcar of the Bantam class should easily lead the time sheets during the race, and also include the overal winner of the race, but anything could happen. They will be joined on track by the slower, but no less exciting Grand Touring class. The GTs have had quite a few seasons of exposure from the now defunct GTCC and the drivers are quite familiar with them. The Corvette, Porche, and Panoz will battle it out as well and for many drivers this is the prefered class.

It will be an exciting race, and many will be tuning in to see how the GP regulars do driving these closed-wheel monsters. The winner of each class will also earn a single seed point towards the GMWC finals, giving some added incentive to drivers to battle it out for the win.
