Travis Engen emerged as the big winner of Historic Sportscar Racing’s double feature Sebring Historics and Sebring Classic 12 offerings on December’s opening weekend with a total of six race wins over the legendary 3.74-mile Sebring airfield circuit. He began by taking Historics WeatherTech Sprint race victories in the Group 2&3 races on both Friday and Saturday with his 1962 Lotus 23B, then mirrored the feat in the Group 4&6 races with his 2005 Audi R8 LMP. For the Classic 12 B.R.M. Chronographes Enduros portion, he won Class P2 of the Historic and GT Modern Enduro with the Audi, and Class V1 of the Vintage and Classic GT Enduro with the Lotus.
Five other drivers enjoyed four victories each: the pairings of Tom Trabue/Roy Sanders and Oliver Bryant/Grahme Bryant, and Jonathon Siegelman who drove to his four wins with three different co-drivers.
