I admit, I live in Sebring. NASCAR now leases the track from the City of Sebring. Second year for them and they have really fast tracked the promotion of the gem, keeping in mind the history. F1 would be a great addition, even if it was a warm up for other North American Venues. I've been to Mid Ohio, and it's a great course. Like the idea of a small town catering such an event. Better than a Target or Whole Foods. The 12 Hours race really provides a post snow bird bump to the local folk economy.

Laguna Seca, best race track ever. (I spent much of my youth watching racers negotiate the difficult "corkscrew").
F1 could do it here, but this native of the once-Golden State can't support anything for a sanctuary state.
Pity.

No NASCAR yet, the 12 Hours of Sebring is still the main venue. However the track does have a few vintage events and many days of corporate testing. Local 1/8 mile drag returned last year. Some think NASCAR leased the track to keep out the competition. Never ran it myself, but know a few who have. They say it gets your attention real quick, or you get a good seat to watch the rest of the race.

Damn, to think I became aware of racing car tech in the storied Jim Hall Chaparral days. Ah, those horrible sucker cars and the scary innovations like adjustable wings.
Must outlaw them, like the Indy STP turbine, or the TZ750 Yamaha dirt tracker.
