Default Sebring 2023 Corvette Coral

I have already purchased two 2 day tickets and the Coral pass for this year and like last year assume they will email apx a month before to print them out. My question is I might have an opportunity to go for 4 days in an RV does anyone know if I can sell these tickets? Will not know for a few weeks.

I have four day tickets but I can't find a place to stay that is not outrageously priced, so I may only go down for Friday and Saturday. We could trade tickets and you pay me the difference.

Thanks,

Edit: I am assuming you have Corvette 4 day Coral tickets

Hi, That will not solve my issue which is to also get rid of the Coral tickets. I live in Stuart and if I stay with the Coral will drive over both days like I did last year. If I can make a suggestion take a look for hotels at the I95 and SR70 interchange. From there it is just over an hour to Sebring.

Last year was my first year in the Coral as previous I did share an RV with friends for 3 or 4 days each year. Last year all of them dropped out so I did the Coral. I can say that it was great and if I can't get rid of the Coral tickets I will go and enjoy it again and my friends who are now want to go again will have to solve how they stay. Perhaps will see you there.

What all is included in the Coral? I live in Bradenton and as a new owner, I’d like to attend.

Thanks

Hi, The Corvette Corral is a special parking area outside turn 17. Only Corvettes are allowed in. Just as turn 17 ends and the front straight begins, there are grand stands that are only for the Corvette Corral and the Porsche Corral guests. (The Porsche Corral is right next to Corvette.) What I like the most is of course the Corvette Owners, everyone is very nice and everyone is comparing cars, telling stories of their modifications, their track experiences, etc. There is a large covered area with tables and chairs that also have televisions for watching the race. There is free soft drinks and I believe there are box lunches included on one or two days, can't remember how many but I know they were free. Most years I've been, the Mobil 1 marketing and Corvette Marketing people will hand out posters and hats and sometimes t-shirts. You can drive your Corvette all over and park in general parking when you want to go to the other side of the track or the vendor area. The corvettes do get to do a parade lap at slow speeds around the track as well. I think that may be on Thursday.

Here is a post with a few pictures of the 2020 Corvette Corral:

Does anyone have a copy of an old Sebring corral schedule? I'm debating on getting corral tickets.

Question for y'all, if you have 2 days tickets general entry or corral tickets, Friday and Saturday, do you pretty much have attendance for WEC 1000miles on Friday covered?

I believe they'll let a rental car park in there, just in the back. At least that's the case at Watkins Glen. It also does not say Corvette only on there.

If anyone has a 2 day (Friday+Sat), 2 person corral tickets they want to sell, lmk!

If you have a two day ticket, you can watch whatever races occur during those two days.

As far as the rental car: I remember one year that someone’s Vette was unable to be driven to the race, so the couple drove one of their other vehicles. I believe they were asked to move it to an area outside the corral since it was not a corvette.

I have been taking my son there since his seventh birthday. He will be 18 this March, and moving off to college this summer. This might be our last trip to Sebring for a few years, depending on his college schedule. We are looking forward to coming to the corral in our ‘23 Z06 this year, and driving it there all the way from Oklahoma.

Thanks for that!
Sounds like an excellent plan driving down in the Z with your son! ​​​​​​​

I purchased my ticket a few weeks ago. I think it's a 2 Day ticket (Saturday/Sunday ???) (first time going, looking forward to taking my Vette on the track for the parade laps )

What are the complete dates of the event ? I found two websites that each have a different single date

https://allevents.in/sebring/corvett...00023773782017 ---> this site has Saturday Feb 25

https://carcruisefinder.com/florida-...ing-florida-2/ ---> this site has Sunday Feb 26

This is the ticket i purchased :
Only a limited number of Corvettes will get this exclusive offer due to this year's racing schedule and limited space.

Each $50.00 Corvette Corral registration includes:
- (2) weekend tickets to the Vintage and Trans-Am Races
- Corvette Car Show
- VIP Weekend Corvette Parking
- Corvette Parade Laps on the Sebring International Raceway
- Full access to the racecar paddock

this is something separate. The links you provided are for corvettes invade Sebring, not 12 hours of Sebring racing.

didn’t know they were doing corvette invade Sebring this month though…
