I'm lucky since my mother has a condo in Sebring. Sebring is a fairly small town and it really fills up fast. You are only 75 miles from Orlando so even if accomodations closer are filled up you should still be able to find something there. I would start planning 6 months in advance since spring break also starts around race weekend also. I only went to Fridays races since my daughter had to be back on Monday.

>: : Just returned from a 2300 mile road trip from Houston Texas to Sebring Florida. If anybody has doubts to how a Z3 is on long trip, don't worry. This is my third over 2k mile road trip in my 96 1.9(two homecomings and this trip). Drove for up to 10 hours and was still able to walk. My Z got 30.9 mpg for the entire trip(1.9's rule on the mpg front), and averaged 66 mph. Those of you who know me know I stretch the bounds of Z3 occupancy. Which make the comfort of Z even more amazing. If you can't tell I love my Z.

: I watched the 12 Hr. race off and on all day Saturday. To bad that BMW's came in 3'rd and 4'th but it still was a good race. I am thinking of going down next year. How far in advance did you plan for accomodations, tickets, etc. ?
