The 12 Hours of Sebring race week-long rave/party/festival is this weekend, and a few teams have revealed some new special liveries their cars will be sporting for the weekend.
Corvette
A Corvette Racing car, not in yellow? Say it ain't so. Corvette's Sebring livery is inspired by the livery used on a Corvette raced in IMSA's GTO class in 1987, built by a company named Protofab and sponsored by Mobil 1.
The new livery's base colour is white, with blue accents and some red to complete the look. The #3 Corvette Z06 GT3.R will be driven by Antonio Garcia, Alexander Sims and Daniel Juncadella, while the sister #4 machine will have Tommy Milner, Nicky Catsburg, and Nico Varrone at the wheel through the race.

BMW
BMW, meanwhile, will celebrate 50 years of BMW North America, with a special livery to signify the occasion.
Fittingly, the German manufacturer made its North American debut at the 12 Hours of Sebring in 1975, with Brian Redman, Allan Moffatt, Sam Mosey, and Hans-Joachim Stuck driving the #25 BMW 3.0 CSL to victory, just weeks after BMW North America was established, with a three-lap lead over the Porsche in second place.
Thus, the #25 BMW this year will sport the special livery. Can Sheldon van der Linde, Robin Frijns, and Marco Wittmann repeat the success?

Acura
Finally, the Meyer Shank Racing Acuras will also sport new liveries as well. The #93 Acura ARX-06, driven by Renger van der Zande, Nick Yelloly, and Alex Palou, now sports red colours.
The #60, with Tom Blomqvist, Colin Braun, and Scott Dixon at the wheel, will now be in light blue, with dark blue accents.
Lovely stuff.
