Dear Race Fans,
Welcome once again to the Mobil 1TM Twelve Hours of Sebring presented by Advance Auto
Parts – the around-the-clock, limit-pushing celebration of true motorsports endurance!
We can’t tell you how excited we are to be back in sunny Florida for one of the most uniquely
challenging competitions in racing.
Sebring holds a special place for us at ExxonMobil, as this race and track – similar to all our
motorsports partnerships – are instrumental in helping us test and develop new motor oil
technology. Venues like Sebring allow us to transform at-track lubrication technology into
real-world benefits for drivers everywhere, most recently with our newest and best motor oil
technology – Mobil 1 Annual Protection, which allows drivers to protect their engine for a full
20,000 miles between oil changes.
Last year’s GTLM class winners – Corvette Racing, for the third straight year – clocked an
incredible 1,301.52 miles at the Twelve Hours of Sebring. With Mobil 1 Annual Protection, an
everyday driver could have completed that same route (at a lesser speed mind you!) more than
15 times on one oil change (with miles to spare), and their engine would still look like it rolled
off the factory line. Of course, for those of us who aren’t driving at white-knuckle track speeds,
Mobil 1 Annual Protection still offers 20,000 miles of protection for our commutes, road trips,
and wherever our daily drives take us.
But today is all about the thrill of the race – the fastest laps, the surprise upsets, and the
fist-pumping victories from teams who have spent months preparing their minds and bodies
for the sheer stamina the Twelve Hours of Sebring demands.
We wish them the best of luck, and we’ll see you all at the finish line to celebrate. Enjoy the
action and excitement of Sebring!
Sincerely,
R. A. (Bob) Greenberg
