Default FYI - Special Ticket REQUIRED for Sebring Porsche Corral

Thanks to Rennlist member LUISJR993 I discovered that in order to park in the Porsche Corral at the upcoming 12 Hours of Sebring you have to purchase a special ticket. Do the link Sebring Tickets and look for the IMSA Corral pricing.

This is the first year they (IMSA) are doing this and the deadline to purchase the Corral Ticket is March 10. You will not be able to purchase a corral pass on race day.

The tickets for the various marque corrals are "free" and must be requested as you come through the main gate for the first time of the race weekend; at least this is the info in the February 2006 edition of "Panorama", page 55. (article titled: "PCA Membership Station in P.O.C. @ Sebring")

The article also mentions additional information is available by contacting Zone 12 Rep: Bob Barren at 904.268.8877 or dorabob@comcast.net and also the IMSA website: http://www.imsaracing.net

Hope this helps...

I have been to sebring the last 5 years and had never paid to park in the Porsche corral.
I just pull up to the entrance, pay the standard admission and drive straight to the Porsche corral.
No extra charge!

There will be a PCA Membership station within the Porsche Owners Corral at Sebring from Thursday afternoon, March 16th through Saturday, March 18th. The Porsche Owners Corral is hosted by Florida Porsche dealers with the cooperation of the International Motor Sports Association (IMSA) and the American Le Mans Series. There will be scheduled appearances by Porsche race drivers for informal talks and autographs. On Friday, March 17th at 6:45 pm, IMSA will offer supervised Parade laps of the track with a two lap maximum open to the first 100 registered Porsches on a first come, first serve basis. Registration for the Parade Laps will be at the Corral tent for credentialed participants only. Special features for the weekend will include a "Long Distance Award," raffle drawings for an "Honorary Pit Crew Member" with a Porsche race team, and a "Hot Pit" escorted tour. For information please contact Zone 12 Rep, Bob Barren, 904-268-8877 or dorabob@comcast.net and also visit the IMSA website, www.imsaracing.net for the latest event schedule. Corral admission requires a Sebring Porsche Corral ticket package – for information contact Sebring Raceway at 800-626-7223 or www.sebringraceway.com. Parking in the Porsche Owners Corral will be for Porsches only and limited to 200 parking spaces. "For Sale" signs on cars will not be permitted. For drawings and awards, participants must be present to win.
I have been going off and on with the in-laws since the early '90's and we always just pulled up and parked in the Corral. There are going to be a lot of PO'd Porsche owners get turned away at the corral on raceday. I confirmed all this with both the Zone 12 rep and Suncoast Region president yesterday.
