Sebring Sprite - Sebring 1960

Sebring 1960

Because of increasing safety worries about the speed differential between the smallest and largest-engined cars, a separate four-hour race for GT cars of under one litre was organized at Sebring in 1960. Stirling Moss drove a Sebring Sprite to a class win and second overall in this event. In the twelve-hour race, John Sprinzel drove a prototype Falcon glassfibre-bodied Sprite built and entered by the Donald Healey Motor Company to another impressive class win, finishing 41st overall.
