    Join your fellow BMW CCA members at the 100-Car BMW corral presented by BMW NA and the BMW Performance Center at Turn Six for the Tudor United SportsCar Championship Series 12-Hours of Sebring. 

    How To Order Tickets

    Order your tickets directly from Sebring International Raceway’s website here, or by calling the track at 1.800.626.RACE. The only way to get a BMW corral pass for Sebring is to purchase your ticket(s) with a corral pass through Sebring. There are only 100 parking spaces allocated for BMW and MINI, so order yours soon! If you have a non-BMW car, you can park in public parking and walk into the BMW Corral. Note: You are not required to have a corral pass to walk-in.

    The planned activities at the BMW Corral include: 

    • There will be exclusive BMW parade laps on Friday afternoon. Details and signup will be in the corral. Passengers are allowed in the cars that make the parade laps. You must have a BMW corral pass on your parking ticket to participate in the popular parade laps.
    • Meet & Greet with BMW Team race drivers and race team personalities in the Paddock. This is a wonderful opportunity to see the Z4 race cars up close and get driver autographs.
    • Drawing on Saturday for a two-day BMW Performance Center M school with a retail value of $3,995
    • Meet & Greet with BMW Performance Center Instructors on Saturday
    • We will have a closed circuit television feed of the race in the BMW corral tent.
    • The complete corral schedule is posted below.

    Location

    To access the BMW Corral, take the road straight down the main midway road. Turn left at the BMW corral sign, just past the Patron Hospitality Area.
