Dates set for ALMS winter test

The annual American Le Mans Series Winter Test is scheduled for February 22 and 23, sanctioning body IMSA announced Wednesday. The two-day test format at Sebring International Raceway will make participation more feasible for teams, many of whom requested a later date compared to previous years so they could be more prepared for the event.

American Le Mans Series cars will test each day from 8 a.m. to noon and 1 to 5 p.m. ET. General admission is $10 per day, and the paddock will be closed to the public. No overnight camping is allowed.

The American Le Mans Series will open its 12th season with America’s greatest sports car race, the 58th Mobil 1 Twelve Hours of Sebring presented by Fresh from Florida from March 17-20. The green flag will fall at 10:30 a.m. ET on Saturday, March 20.

Tickets are available for the 12 Hours at sebringraceway.com.
