The 24 hours of Daytona were a big success even without the works Ferrari. The next big rendez vous was at Sebring. This time 2 Ferraris were present. Ford brought 4 Mk2 ; 2 for SAI ( GT110 & 1031) and 2 for H&M (1032 & 1016). Each were painted in different colors unlike at Daytona. Chassis 110 was the abandoned Mc Laren X1 project for the Can Am which has been rebuild to Mk2 specification but still in roadster configuration. All Mk2 saw the addition of 2 brake air scoops on the rear hood.
2 lightweight GT40 Mk1 were entered by Alan Mann AMGT1 and 2. These 2 lightweight cars had to run in the prototype category (with the Mk2) They were greatly modified : aluminium body, Mk2 brakes etc...
In addition 7 GT40 Mk1 were entered by privateers.
It was another 1-2-3 victory. The 4th place has been lost stupidly. 1031 was cruising to a certain victory when the engine blew up 3 mn before the end in view of the finish line. The driver (Dan Gurney) had only to wait there to save a 2nd place but he tried to push the car and was disqualified. The roaster GT110 won followed by 1032 and the Mk1 1026.
