This year marks the 60th Anniversary of the 12 Hours of Sebring, race weekend is March 15-17, 2012
We officially have a Mazda Car Corral again this year.
Better late than never and we really hope to make it an inviting place for all Mazda owners (compared to last year).
We still do not have all of the details, but I can tell you what I do know and what we HOPE will happen…
Everyone is welcome and encouraged to visit & hang out in the Mazda corral no matter what ticket you have!
Location is track side just past Turn 6 (Big Bend) leading into Turn 7 (Hairpin). This is the same location as last year.
There will be a tent & portalets.
We are planning to have a TV in the tent showing a feed of the race. We are also trying to arrange for snacks and drinks in the tent for most of Saturday. Mazda NA arranged for the corral space and Classic Mazda of Orlando intends to host the tent in the corral. We may need a few volunteers to help out in the tent & corral through out the day. We are trying to keep things simple, I feel that is the key when you are a volunteer; too complicated means too much work which means not enough fun. ;-)
Mazda car corral parking will be on a first come first serve basis, and the priority is for Mazda vehicles. Our Hope is that anyone driving a Mazda, with a ticket + infield parking pass can park in the corral (last year Sebring would only allow those with specific car corral tickets to park in the corrals). If it becomes obvious later in the day on Saturday that there is space for non Mazda vehicles we will let allow Mazda owners with non Mazda vehicles to park in the corral as well, IF Sebring allows us to do that. We do not yet know is if Sebring will relinquish control of the car corral to us completely or not.
As we receive additional information we will pass it along to you...
