Fangio and Haywood among third Sebring 75 greatest drivers group

Juan Manuel Fangio and Hurley Haywood have been named in the third batch of the "Class of 75", a list of the most successful drivers in the history of the 12 Hours of Sebring. The list is being released in five batches of 15 ahead of the race's 75th anniversary running on March 20, 2027. The drivers were selected by a 10-person panel of sports car racing experts.

Fangio competed at Sebring three times, in 1954, 1956 and 1957, winning the overall title in 1956 and 1957. Frank Biela, who raced nine times at Sebring with Audi, also features in the batch, recording four overall wins between 1999 and 2007. Vic Elford won overall in 1971 and was second in his first start in 1968.

Ron Fellows is also included, with four GT victories in Corvettes, alongside Johnny O'Connell, in 2002, 2003, 2004 and 2008.
