The 2023 1000 Miles of Sebring is an upcoming endurance sportscar racing event to be held on 17 March 2023, as the opening round of the 2023 FIA World Endurance Championship. It will be the third running of the event, which runs over 268 laps or 8 hours. Background The 1000 Miles of Sebring is the first race for a lot of new and returning manufacturers to the top class of endurance racing: Porsche, Ferrari, Cadillac and Vanwall have all entered cars in the Hypercar category for this race. They join the returning manufacturers of Toyota, Peugeot and Glickenhaus. Alpine is forced to leave the Hypercar class for a 1-year hiatus, returning in 2024. Customer teams will also join the Hypercar grid. Both Proton Competition and Jota Sport will receive a Porsche 963 later in the year. Unfortunately, these cars will not be delivered to the teams until at least mid-April, but in Proton's case probably until after Le Mans. This is the first year of the World Endurance Championship without the LMGTE Pro category, after it got dropped in 2022. It was dropped since manufacturers did not express enough interest in the class. Entry list The entry list was revealed on 1 March 2023. The list of entries for the event is set to consist of 37 cars across three classes. There are set to be 11 entries in Hypercar, 12 entries in LMP2, and 14 entries in LMGTE Am. Porsche customer Hertz Team Jota have entered a car in the LMP2 class, due to the fact that the customer Porsche 963's are not yet ready to be delivered.
